[Verse 1]
  G                Am             G
I can't recall the last time that we
 C7M
 Talked
      G            Em
About anything but looking out for
C7M
Cops
       G                      Am
We got cigarette burns in the same
            C7M
Side of our hands
                             G
We ain't friends, we're just morons
          Em               C7M
Who broke skin in the same spot
         G              Am
But I've never seen you take a turn
     C7M
That wide
        G              Em
And I'm high enough to still care if
   C7M
 I die
     G                 Am
So I tried to read the thoughts that
              C7M
 You'd worked overtime to stop
                G
You said, "Fuck off," and I said
Em            C7M
Nothin' for a while


[Pre-Chorus]
                 G
You know I think about you all the
Time
Bm                    C7M
  And my deep misunderstanding of
          C
Your life
                         G
And how bad it must have been for
You back then
Bm                       C
  And how hard it was to keep it all
 Inside


[Chorus]
                          G
I hope you settle down, I hope you
      Am G
Marry rich
Bm
  I hope you're scared of only
C7M
Ordinary shit
C
  Like murderers and ghosts and
G              Am G
Cancer on your skin
Bm
  And not your soul and what He

Might do with it

[Verse 2]
    G               Am
You inched yourself across the great
        C
 Divide
               G          Am
While we drove aimlessly along the
     C     C7M
Twin State line
        C7M     G       Am
I heard nothing but the bass in
      C
Every ballad that you'd play
          G                Am
While you swore to God the singer
     C         C7M
Read your mind
        G
But the world is scared of
Am         C
Hesitating things
           G              Am
Yeah, they only shoot the birds who
       C    C7M
Cannot sing
        G        Am          C7M
And I'm finally aware of how shitty
And unfair
          G
It was to stare ahead like
Am             C7M
Everything was fine


[Pre-Chorus]
                  G
You know I think about you all the
Time
Bm                    C
  And my deep misunderstanding of
Your life
C7M                        G
  And how bad it must have been for
You back then
Bm                       C
  And how hard it was to keep it all
   C7M
 Inside


[Chorus]
                          G
I hope you settle down, I hope you
      Am G
Marry rich (Oh-oh)
Bm
  I hope you're scared of only
C
Ordinary shit (Oh-oh)
                              G
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer
         Am G
 On your skin (Oh-oh)
Bm
  And not your soul and what He
C7M
Might do with it


[Post-Chorus]
      Em  G  C
Ah-oh

[Bridge]
G       C          C7M
  Rage,   in small ways
Bm                          C
  Did you wish that I could know
     Bm         C
That you'd fade   to some place
Bm                         C
  I wasn't brave enough to go?


[Chorus]
                          G
I hope you settle down, I hope you
Marry rich
Bm
  I hope you're scared of only
C
Ordinary shit
                              G
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer
 On your skin
Bm
  And not your soul and what He
C7M
Might do with it


[Post-Chorus]
         Em   G   C
Ah (Ah), woah
Em  G   C
Ah
Em  G   C
Ah, Lord
Em  G   C
Ah


[Final]
                               G
I hope you threw a brick right into
             Am G
That stained glass
Bm
  I hope you're with someone who
C
Isn't scared to ask
                              G
I hope that you're not losing sleep
             Am G
About what's next
Bm                            C
  Or about your soul and what He
Might do with it
