Tom: Am
Em G
We sit home and speak
Dm Am
Of a god we’ve never seen
And wonder if he
Em G
Watches when we sleep
Dm Am
Or when I looked on molly’s desk
Em
And copied her whole sheet
G
And oh I know I’m young
Dm
To speak with such disdain
Am
An urgency
[Chorus]
Em
So this is my confession
I hope you listen
G Dm
Will Saint Christopher bring me to my destination
Am
And bring us all back home
Em
Am I alive I almost feel it
G Am Em
Riding the waves of all my demons I’ll drift away
[Instrumental]
G Am
[Verse]
Em G
We dressed all in black
Dm Am
Momma wears her makeup dark
And talks so softly
Em G
“son one day you’ll learn
Dm Am
That everyone you know will leave
Em
Never to return”
G
And oh a man so young
Dm
Taken way too soon
Am
From all he loved
[Chorus]
Em
So this is my intention
To break tradition
G Dm
Could I give you myself to bring him back this instant
Am
And bring us all back home
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Watched you fight with the darkness
But you just couldn’t win
G
Once so strong, full of power
Now fragile and thin
Em
I’ll bring you back, oh I swear
I can figure this out
Am
I know many have tried
But I won’t let you down
Em
I’m not afraid of the man
I read about in the books
G
The one that takes you away
If you end it too soon
Dm
I’ll turn the darkness on me
I’ll travel up through the wind
Am
And if they don’t open the gates
I’ll break my way in
[Instrumental]
Em Em Am Em
Em Em Am Em G
