The Alien

Am                            
The lights were low enough, you 
       D
guessed
                    G           
You swapped your conscience with 
                  C
your fathers medication
Am                             D
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
                  G                
And on the way wrote out a 
         C
self-made declaration

Am                             D
And when you got to Pleasant Hill
               G                   
You forced the traffic to erase 
          C
your family demons
Am                            D
And made a pact with you and god
              G                    
If you don't move I swear to you 
        C
I'm gonna make ya

When the first officer arrived
                G                
It happened to be the high school 
                  C
bully of your brother
Am                       D
When you finally recognized
                G               
You felt some guilt that you had 
                C
even let him touch you

Can you hear me? What's your name?
                G                  
You could not speak just laid 
               C
amazed at all the damage
Am                            D
As the high school's letting out
                G                  
All the kids saying the same thing

 medication
Am                            D
The doctor asked about your ears
                G                  
You said your mom said you were 
              C
made from a revelation

Am                      D
The revelation never scares
                   G             
If you came from your drunken dad 
                  C
and a pair of scissors
Am                            D
Were you just finally letting go?
