Tuning (this tab): Drop D
For the chords, I like to use the open chord and strum the A,D, and G
strings. Occasionally, Andy will strum the lower bass notes or hit the higher
strings, but for the most part, he plays the chords on the "middle" strings.

D G
My love has gone away
D A
Packed up her bags and then boarded that plane
D G
And I guess that the time I figured you’d wait
A G D
Teary face, leaky breath, a bitter taste
D G
Tripped out for 600 years
D A
Who would have thought I’d make it last year?
D G
In a way it makes sense that I died and reappeared
A G D
As that fly you’ve been swatting for years
e|------5-5-5-5--|
B|------8-7-5-5--|
G|---(7)7-7-7-7--|

D G
Calm down and make him a drink
D A
Pretty small town and the gossip repeats
G A D
She took off her clothes and sat on the bed next to me

D G
My heart is pumping my blood,
D A
your hearts not beating at all
G A D
In a way it makes sense that it isn’t, it just never was
D G
Right now, a sinful exchange
D A
Once done, unspeakable shame
D G
And I should’ve known where I took the blame
A G D
The sweat and the shame fireless flame
A G
Please god don’t take him too
D A
Take me, a replicant fool
G A D
Lost a gear and now I hardly move
A D
He’s a kid, I’m a fool
D G
Please son, where is your faith?
D A
Take off your bushels set fire to your pain
G A D
You will heal like a cut, let it scar let it scab, let it stain
G A D
In a while I promise you’ll see
G A D A
You’re alive, not the blemish or burns that you keep on your feet
D G
I am a towel that is soaked to the core,
D A
heavier now than it’s gotten before
D G
And something inside of me needs more and more,
A G D
sooner than later never no more
A G D
Sooner than later, never no more
