Death of a Friend

Trapdoor Social


Tom: Bb

[Intro] G   Em  C  Am

[Primeira Parte]

G
Thought you found the holy one 
 
They take a little, she takes none
Em
It's just a front after all
 
Oh how easy do they fall?
C
One by one and over again
  
They shed a little of their skin 
Am
First you mingle, then you dance 
 
Pull it to a safe distance
G
It pours outside and need a ride
  
Wish you hadn't gone inside
Em
Fumble for the sidehand door
 
You don't want to stay no more
C
The handle is broke, the light is low
 
Brake too late and off it goes
Am
Falling forward from the edge
 
Try to remember the words you read

 
[Refrão]

C          Em
Don't want to know 
     G                D
You try too hard they said
                      C    Em   G   D
But you never want to go
C        Em
Are your feet cold?
G                  D
Spread your ashes all-
                C    Em  G  D
All across the snow
 
[Segunda Parte]

G 
All the lights are shining through

Hit you when you try to move
Em
Know the ending, know the start

Know the place where it falls apart
C
The Red herring isn't fooling you

Tricked you last time, before you knew
Am
Barreling towards the bitter end

The climax comes, you lose a friend
G
Growing up and dressing down

Learn the truth and shut your mouth
Em
It's not all what your thought it'd be

Cuts your heart so gradually
C
Sew it up, snip the thread

Dry the tears they make you shed
Am
Hold the chair, slip the noose

Never forget who cut you loose

[Refrão]
 
C          Em
Don't want to know 
     G                D
You try too hard they said
                      C    Em   G   D
But you never want to go
C        Em
Are your feet cold?
G                  D
Spread your ashes all-
                C    Em   G   D
All across the snow

[Ponte]

Em
Confidence dies 
C
A little everyday
G
You lose your way
           D
I lose it too
Em
I wish I was back
C
Safe inside instead
Am                           D
But I'm at a funeral for a friend

[Solo] C  Em  G  D
