Version 1 Version 2

            ************************************
[Intro]
Db Gb (x2)

[Verse 1]
Db                                         Gb
Though they may want you to tread in their trail
Db                               Gb
Only to see if the path they set fails
Db                                        Gb
Though they may want you to take off your clothes
Db                                   Gb
Whatever they think that the action exposed

[Bridge]
Db         Fm            B        Gb
With your clothes on the floor
Db       Ab             B           Gb
Taking advice from some old balding bore
Db              Fm          B            Gb
You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?"

[Chorus]
Ebm    Ebm7     Ab
       Do you remember what I said?
Ebm    Ebm7        Ab
   The book I left by your bed
Ebm    Ebm7        Ab      Db    Ab    Ab7
   The words that some survivor read


[Verse 2]
Db                                                   Gb
Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old
Db                                    Gb
All of the bullshit that she might be told

[Bridge]
Db      Fm           B        Gb
There's blood on the floor
Db    Ab            B            Gb
Maybe now you'll believe her for sure

[Chorus]
Ebm7   Ab
She remembers what I said
Ebm7            Ab
The book I left by her bed
Ebm     Ebm7         Ab
    The words that some survivor read


[Verse 3]
Db                                       Gb
Though they may take you for all you had left
Db                                               Gb
You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet
Ab7                           Ab
So you wished for a kiss from God
Ab7      Ab              Ab7      Gb
And you mourned in your childish loss
Ab        Ab7           Ab
Innocence gone but it's not forgot
B               Gb             Db
You'll get your way through it somehow

[Chorus]
Ebm7   Ab7          Ab
You remember what I said
Ebm7              Ab7
The book you left by your bed
Ebm7           Ab7     Ab       Ab7
The words that will outlive the dead


[Outro]
Db Gb (x2)
Ebm Ebm7 Ab Ab7 (x2)... fades out
