    E5             B5       C5             Dadd11              A5
His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie
   E5                   B5                C5                 Dadd11         A5
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way
E5               B5          C5 *           Dadd11*
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
E5                 B5                  C5 *              Dadd11*
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son

    A5         B5  C5           Dadd11
One person can make a difference, sometimes
     A5                     B5            C5     Dadd11
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck

[NC]
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."

E5        B5              C5          Dadd11         A5
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
E5             B5         C5          Dadd11    A5
Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day


CAPO 2
      
A5             F5            A5                 F5                 C5       
Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
       D5           E5
At the end of every tunnel's a little light
            A5              F5               A5              F5
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
C5                  D5               E5                                
He can fulfill his every dream , I'm happy as long as he's not

F5   G5           A5          E5
..I hate it and fear can't face it
    F5            G5              A5        E5
The child is not right, he's my greatest shame
   F5           G5            A5           E5
Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
    F5           G5            A5             [CHANGE CAPO to 5 NOW]
That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those


A5          F5         G5                C5        C5  A5    
Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
F5        G5             C5        C5
Somehow, lost one more way back home


CAPO 4

    E5              B5          C5                         Dadd11             A5
Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from , years ago
    E5                B5        C5                   Dadd11      A5
The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life


CAPO 2

A5           F5                  A5        F5          
Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade
C5        D5            E5                              A5
He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever
          F5               A5              F5
She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
C5        D5            E5     [CHANGE CAPO to 4 NOW]  
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together

E5                             C5
Over the hills, under the sea, fighting the will, whole Universe
G5              A5               B5
Why does a man driving a hearse live in fear, Gift and a Curse
F#5                             D5
Taking 'em out, taking 'em all, shooting the wall, over and out
A5                   B5              C#5                          F#5
When nothing moves, all's well, a decision he can find a way to live with
                D5
...And dried up flowers are so beautiful
    A5             B5         C#5
And it applies to all things living, and dead
                 E5 B5    C5       D5        E5   B5  C5  D5  A5
For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell

    E5         B5      C5        D5    
Now I ring the bell to tell the world
    E5              B5            C5          D5                E5
I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall
B5   C5      G5   A5    B5           E5 B5 C5 G5 A5 B5
Oooh.. This necessary evil has no heart

E5                    C5
Flowers and people he will now enlace
  G5             A5            B5
A price he must pay serving a cold ..whateverGod
