[First Part]

  C/G               Dm7           
I can't recall the last time that 
    F2
we talked
      C/G          Dm7            
About anything but looking out for
  F2
 cops
       C/G                    Dm7 
We got cigarette burns in the same
              F2
 side of our hands
                             C/G
We ain't friends, we're just morons
          Dm7               F2
Who broke skin in the same spot
         C/G            Dm7       
But I've never seen you take a 
        F2
turn that wide
        C/G            Dm7        
And I'm high enough to still care 
      F2
if I die
     C/G                   Dm7
So I tried to read the thoughts
                  F2
That you'd worked overtime to stop
               C/G              
You said "Fuck off", and I said 
Dm7                 F2
nothing for a while

[Pré-Refrão 1]

F7M/C                  C/G
     You know I think about you all 
the time
Em                    F7M/C
  And my deep misunderstanding of 
your life
F7M/C                         C/G
     And how bad it must have been 
for you back then
Em                       F7M/C
  And how hard it was to keep it all
 inside

[Chorus 1]

F7M/C                          
     I hope you settle down, I 
C/G            Dm7   C/G
hope you marry rich
Em                             
  I hope you're scared of only 
F7M/C
ordinary shit
F7M/C                              
     Like murderers and ghosts and 
C/G            Dm7   C/G
cancer on your skin
Em                           
  And not your soul and what He 
F7M/C
might do with it

[Second Part]

    C/G               Dm7         
You inched yourself across the 
       F2
great divide
               C/G          Dm7   
While we drove aimlessly along the
             F2
 Twin State line
        C/G              Dm7  
I heard nothing but the bass in 
          F2
every ballad that you'd play
          C/G              Dm7    
While you swore to God the singer 
           F2
read your mind
        C/G               
But the world is scared of 
 Dm7         F2
hesitating things
           C/G            Dm7     
Yeah, they only shoot the birds 
          F2
who cannot sing
        C/G      Dm7           F2
And I'm finally aware of how shitty 
and unfair
           C/G            
It was to stare ahead like 
 Dm7                 F2
everything was fine

[Pré-Refrão 2]

F7M/C                  C/G
     You know I think about you all 
the time
Em                    F7M/C
  And my deep misunderstanding of 
your life
F7M/C                         C/G
     And how bad it must have been 
for you back then
Em                       F7M/C
  And how hard it was to keep it all
 inside

[Chorus 2]

F7M/C                          
     I hope you settle down, I 
C/G            Dm7   C/G
hope you marry rich
Em                             
  I hope you're scared of only 
F7M/C
ordinary shit
F7M/C                              
     Like murderers and ghosts and 
C/G            Dm7   C/G
cancer on your skin
Em                           
  And not your soul and what He 
F7M/C
might do with it

[Pós-Refrão]

       Am G C F7M/C
Ah, Lord

[Bridge]

Em     F7M/C
  Rage, in small ways
Em                           F7M/C
  Did you wish that I could know
Em               F7M/C
  That you'd fade to some place
Em                         F7M/C
  I wasn't brave enough to go?

[Refrão 3]

F7M/C                          
     I hope you settle down, I hope 
C/G
you marry rich
Em                             
  I hope you're scared of only 
F7M/C
ordinary shit
F7M/C                              
     Like murderers and ghosts and 
C/G
cancer on your skin
Em                           
  And not your soul and what He 
F7M/C
might do with it

[Pós-Refrão 2]

             Am G/B C F2
Ah (ah), lord
 Am G/B C F2
Ah
  Am G/B C F2
Ah (hey)
 Am G/B C F2
Ah (ah)

[Outro]

F7M/C                             
     I hope you threw a brick 
  C/G               Dm7   C/G
right into that stained glass
Em                               
  I hope you're with someone who 
F7M/C
isn't scared to ask
F7M/C                              
     I hope that you're not losing 
C/G                Dm7   C/G
sleep about what's next
Em                            
  Or about your soul and what He 
F7M/C
might do with it
