to C or Am, so preserve the picking pattern in the verses.)
Verse:
C G F
The floor will have it's way it seems.
Am G F
It fights me like a trampoline.
Am G F
It won't let me on the ground,
C G F
So this time I'm not coming down.
C G F
No this time I'm not coming down.
C G F
I've been talking in my sleep.
Am G F
We once kissed goodnight, and here we speak.
Am G F
You loved me just so brutaly,
C G F
To have the bitter life wrung out of me.
Chorus:

Verse:
C G F
The whole platoon is overfed,
Am G G
And we're in this thing over our heads.
Am G F
My mind has never been so clear,
Am G F
But I stutter like an auctioneer.
C G F
As the night has come alive with griefs,
Am G F
The hew and hollar, spit and scream.
Am G F
Every one of them is sick with lust,
C G F
But every one of them will outlive us.
(Chorus, as before)
C G F
And if I really thought I could,
Am G F
I'd give up your ghost for good,
Am G F
But I'm not sure it isn't you...
C G F
That keeps my ghost from leaving too.
C G F
But I don't miss you half as much,
Am G F
As who you made me think I was.
Am G F
When I could see myself the way you do.
C G F
And I could almost see myself in you.
C G F
I could almost see myself in you.
Final chorus:
G5 F C
And this time I'm not coming down.
Am G5 F
No this time I'm not coming down.
G5 F C
This time I'm not coming down...
...trampoline...
