[Verse]
Bm A
With the door closed, shades drawn, the world shrinks.
D5 F# G A
Let's open up those blinds. But someone has to sweep the floor,
G F# A
pick up her dirty clothes. That job's not mine.
Bm A
Now that everyone's an enemy, my heart sinks.
D5 F# G
Let's put away those claws.
A G F#
I don't blame them for their curtains-calls because I pulled the rope.
A
I wanna call them back out for applause.
Bm A
Spring and Thompson on the first of May is horrible.
D5F#G A
We hid in catacombs. So now I'm sleeping next to mousetraps,
G F# A
in a bed of all our clothes, while I hope that she won't come home.
Bm A D5F#G
It was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones than to show my skin,
A G F#
because the hardest thing is never to repent for someone else,
A Bm D Bm D Bm D A
it's letting people in.
[Instrumental]
Bm D Bm D Bm D A
[Verse]
Bm A
Well you can come inside, unlock the door, take off your shoes.
D5 F# G
But this might take all night,
A G F#
to explain to you I would have walked out those sliding doors,
A
but the timing never seemed right.
Bm A
When your helicopter came and tried to lift me out,
D5 F# G
I put its rope around my neck.
A G F#
And after that you didn't bother with the airlift or the rescue
A
- you knew just what to expect.
Bm
That with the door closed,
A
shades drawn, we're dead enough.
D5 F# G
They don't open from outside.
A G F#
And someone has to speak with their teeth behind their tongue,
A
to never let that right be denied.
Bm A
We can't rely on photographs and visitation time,
D5 F# G
but I just don't know where to begin.
A
I wanna bust down the door,
G F#
if you're willing to forgive.
A Bm D Bm D Bm D A
I've go the keys, I'm letting people in.
[Instrumental]
Bm D Bm D Bm D A
[Verse]
G D
Don't be scared to speak,
A
don't speak with someone's tooth,
G D
don't bargain when you're weak,
A
don't take that sharp abuse.
G D A
Some patients can't be saved, but that burden's not on you.
[Outro] (x9)
G D A
Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that.
