[Verse 1]

E D/F#                      F#m7/D         Gsus2
Though they may want you to tread in their trail
E D/F#             F#m7/D       Gsus2
Only to see if the path they set fails
E D/F#                   F#m7/D          Gsus2
Though they may want you to take off your clothes
E D/F#                       F#m/D     Gsus2
Whatever they think that the action exposed
F#m7/D    F#m7/C#       F#m7/C Gsus2
With your clothes on the floor
F#m7/D    F#m7/C#       F#m7/C    Gsus2
Taking advice from some old balding bore
F#m7/D    F#m7/C#       F#m7/C        Gsus2
You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?"

[Chorus]

Gmaj7/E                 A7 Am7 Em/G
Do you remember what I said?
Gmaj7/E           A7      Am7 Em/G
The book I left by your bed
Gmaj7/E         A7      Am7   A/C#
The words that some survivor read

[Verse 2]

E D/F#                              F#m7/D          Gsus2
Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old
E D/F#                   F#m7/D        Gsus2
All of the bullshit that she might be told
F#m7/D    F#m7/C#       F#m7/C Gsus2
There's blood on the floor
F#m7/D    F#m7/C#       F#m7/C   Gsus2
Maybe now you'll believe her for sure

[Chorus]

Gmaj7/E              A7 Am7 Em/G
She remembers what I said
Gmaj7/E         A7     Am7 Em/G
The book I left by her bed
Gmaj7/E        A7      Am7    A/C#
The words that some survivor read

[Verse 3]

E D/F#                       F#m/D       Gsus2
Though they may take you for all you had left
E D/F#                       F#m7/D           Gsus2
You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet
A/C#                C/E       Bm/D
So you wished for a kiss from God
A/C#                C/E      Bm/D
You mourned in your childish loss
A/C#                    C/E    Bm/D
Innocence gone but it's not forgot
C6                             E D/F#
You'll cut your way through it somehow

[Chorus]

Gmaj7/E             A7 Am7 Em/G
You remember what I said
Gmaj7/E           A7      Am7 Em/G
The book you left by your bed
Gmaj7/E        A7      Am7      A/C#
The words that will outlive the dead
