Revisited
Key: FMediumF
Em
Dm
C
FWhen some unfamiliar faces Emcame to shop in our old house,
DmI didn't bother trying to stop them Cuntil they emptied it out.
FI was standing by the front door, Emstuffing cash in a jar, Dmtaking payment for our failures,
CI only wanted to alarm you.
FSo when they asked me for directions, EmI sold them our map,
DmI sold our shovels and our flashlights,
CThey took our duffel bag with a ton of room, but a broken strap.
FThe hungry patrons hit the graveyard, EmI lit a joint in the house
DmWhere there was nothing but our mattress and the same soft sheClter of sheets
Where nobody found us.
FEmDmC
FI let them strip your mausoleum Emso nothing was left
DmBut they forgot to close the casket,
CThey sent you shivering to my doorstep
FGently clawing at my window Emwhen I was less than awake
DmI slid it up for you to slither through
CI heard you howling
"Just take me!
Just take me to the Frusty city we perfected
EmThat holy summer we first found!
DmThe place you're stubbornly protecting is the Conly pretty thing that we own now.
FAnd we can stay here to witherEm in your garden of Eden
DmBut your fantasy's a prison and you're serving a seCntence you can't stop repeating
FEmDmC
FCan you see the secret exit? EmThe false wall in obsession?
DmYou'll only fit through the doorway Cwhen you relinquish your possessions
FSo leave everything you've stolen Emthat you can't give back
DmAnd don't replace what you've been missing Cuntil you know what you're lacking
FLeave everything you've borrowed Emand kept for yourself
DmYou can't unbreak our broken leases holding on to broken Cpieces, so return them!
No guilt, no sorry speeches.

Right when the Fblizzard endBbms, they throw aAbm fucking hugeF parade
A great excFuse for celBbmebration of the Bmess they've Fmade
But then when the Fstreets get Bbmflooded, we know whaAbmt proximity's Fworth
'cause we're alFready here inBbm the same place when our Bphones don't Fwork
(same chords as verse 1)
So then we lie down in our field and just do nothing at all
And I'm getting ready for when everything is wonderful
For just a couple pairs of broken bones with broken feathers in blood
In a meadow, uncut and understood
EbmAbm
We can be an Ebmisland aAbmpart
From a ceaseless Ebmwar on our Abmheart
Harbored in a Ebmfortress iAbmnsurmountable
Taller than afEbmfliction, saAbmfe wherever we are
ErasingEbm horror andAbm disgust
Rewinding the Ebmsorrow and the Abmrust
Before our Ebmsuffering'sAbm suffering,
Haven't we Esuffered eFnough?
On the morning that we're Bboth 1Ebm9 and newly Eon our Bown
And all we Bknow is "Ebmeach other" and inEvisible Bhomes
We find two empty Bseats in the back Ebmof a car in an empty EparkingB lot
Where all our Bbridges are Ebmabandoned and the Ecops have forBgot
(same chords as verse 3)
And I can feel the difference when the day begins
Like all I know is, "This year will be the year we win."
We smoke the paper from the banner from our past parades
And start again, before the memory of the mess we've made.

It's the same chord progression through-out the whole song.
F#mEDA
You were F#msimpler,
you were Elighter when we Dthought like little Akids.
Like a F#mweightless, hate-less Eanimal,
beautifully Doblivious before you were Ahid
inside a F#mstranger you grew Einto,
as you lDearned to disconAnect.
Now he F#mhangs your mirrors Eseparately,
so one can?t Dshow you what the other refAlects.
F#mEDA
When F#mhe heard I was Eon his tail, he
Demptied your accAount
and hid a F#mpart of you that?s so iEnvaluable
(the part of you unDsellable at any aAmount).
He left the F#mtallest peak of your Eparadise
buried in the Dbottom of a canyon in Ahell,
but I F#mswear I?ll find your light in the Emiddle,
where there?s so little late at nDight, down in the pit of the Awell.
Then when F#mheaven has a line around the Ecorner,
we shouldn?t have to Dwait around and hope to get Ain
if we can F#mcarpenter a home in our Eheart right now
and carve a Dpalace from Awithin.
We won?t need to F#mtake a ton of Epictures,
It won?t be Deasy to belAieve
the day we F#mwake inside a Esecret place that Deveryone can Asee.

Can you Amhear me when I'm trapped behind the Emmirror?
A doppelgänger Amroaring from my silent kind of Emfuror?
If you're Amquiet, you can hear the monster Embreathing
Do you hear that gentle Amtapping?
My ugly creature's Emfreezing.
And now he's Chowling, but I'm muted by the Bmhorror.
How he's everywhere and Amwaiting,
now he's just around the Emcorner.
ParaCnoia backward whispering on myBm shoulder,
like a wasp is getting Amnervous, so if I shiver... man, it'sEm over.
