Intro: G--Bm-A- x2


Verse 1:
G                           Bm   D
  Two carpenters of failing worth
G                            Bm
  We found ourselves in disrepair
           D
But didn't care
G
  So we took the wood 
              Bm
from that old tree
        D             G
Built a coffin on the sea
                          Bm
Flowers strewn across the deck
             D                Bm
Sails drape around our broken necks


Chorus 1:
Bm G D

    Bm                 G
And I'll (And I'll) be taken 
                D
apart when it's over


Verse 2:
G
  Our ruined hands 
           Bm  D
collecting dust
G
  Uneven loves that drove 
   Bm       D
us into our bodies
G
  But we found the bricks 
             Bm
from our old house
         D
Tried to put them 
       G
back together
With no foundation 
     Bm
underneath
                  D
It crumbled right back
to a smoldering heap


Chorus 2:
Bm G D

    Bm                    G
And We'll (And We'll) be taken 
                D
apart when it's over
      Bm
So we gave every flaw in 
    G                      D
our crooked construction a name
      Bm
And accepted that nothing 
    G                    D
was meant to hold up for this long


Interlude: Bm-A-G-D- x2


Bridge:
     Bm
When you felt the 
          A
sun come alive in your ribs
         G             D
You were dying just to try it
       Bm
As the sutures and stitches that
A                       G
held you together were splitting
       D
And it made such a glorious sound


Guitar Solo: G--Bm-D- x2


Verse 3:
G
  You wire strings 
            Bm
slowly disappear
                 D
Well I have been emptied 
         G
of every fear
The things that we had
            Bm
but never replaced
               D
We're falling asleep and 
forgetting the names


Verse 4:
     Bm                  A
Well I pried myself into pieces and 
               G        D
scattered them over the wreckage
    Bm
And you were still shaking your 
A                       G    D
head holding on to your nails
    Bm                A
And every splinter of timber like 
          G                     D
thunder inside of my shuddering frame
     Bm                       A
Says I'm gonna pay yeah we're all gonna 
              G               D
pay when it's over (when it's over)
