Tom: G
Am D
The lights were low enough, you guessed
G C
You swapped your conscience with your fathers medication
Am D
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
G C
And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration
Am D
And when you got to Pleasant Hill
G C
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
Am D
And made a pact with you and god
G C
If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya
C Em
Do you need me?
G C
Do you need me?
C Em
Do you need me?
G C
Do you need me?
Am D
When the first officer arrived
G C
It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
Am D
When you finally recognized
G C
You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
Am D
Can you hear me? What's your name?
G C
You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage
Am D
As the high school's letting out
G C
All the kids saying the same thing that they used to
C Em
It's an alien
G C
It's an alien
C Em
It's an alien
G C
It's an alien
Am D
The lights are low enough you guessed
G C
Hospital food, there's never enough medication
Am D
The doctor asked about your ears
G C
You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
Am D
The revelation never scares
G C
If you came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
Am D
Were you just finally letting go?
G C
Did you mean to take out all those people with you?
C Em
Didn't mean to
G C
Didn't mean to
C Em
Didn't mean to
G C
Didn't mean to
(Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go)
(Don't let me go)
(Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go)
(Don't let me go)
Am G
Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own
Am G
Time is here to take you by the hand and leave you there alone
Am G
Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it into stone
Am G
Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone
