Half Step Down (D♯G♯C♯F♯A♯D♯)

Intro

8 bars, one bar of 4/4 per chord shown)

Well you lie on your back

And mill through the scars

So careful you are to

Surrender a thing

But Jesus ain't coming

So don't waste your time

Not yours and not mine

You're only dreaming

And while you were scheming

With silver machines

Far above the leaves

I snuck into your scene

Don't lie there, lurking

Behind your troubled walls

Wicked as they are

You're not deceiving

And if I could find your heart

I would pull it from your chest

And smash you with my fist

Til' it was beating

And if there's a hole inside

Heaven in your bed

'Cause the angel that you kissed

Just left you bleeding

I know it ain't easy

To keep roundin' on

When the voices in your skull

Are always screaming

Broke into your prison

And dropped the sleeping guards

Painted flowers on the bars

And snuck you out the yard

Paralysed and gleaming

With visions of new states

We're wrapped in our embrace

While we were dreaming
