[Verse 1]
G
F#                Bm                                 Em
  Stay out of the light or the photograph that I gave  you
                                G
You can say a prayer if you need to
                                   C#/F              F#
Or just get in line and I'll grieve    you Can I meet
      Bm
you, alone?
                          Em
Another night and I'll see  you
                         G
Another night and I'll be you
                       C#/F
Some other way to continue
   F#
To hide my face

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
  Another knife in my hands,
Em
  a stain that never comes
   G                         C#/F       F#
Off the sheets, clean me off,    I'm so dirty,
babe
Bm                            Em
  The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the
clothes
G                          C#/F         F#
 I keep a book of the names    and those

[Chorus]
     G     F#/A#         Bm A E/G#
Only go so far  'til you bury them
   G        F#/A#
So deep and down, we go

[Verse 2]
Bm
  Touched by angels, though
Em
  I fall out of grace
G
 I did it all so, maybe
C#/F              F#
    I'd live this everyday

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
  Another knife in my hands,
Em
  a stain that never comes off
G                         C#/F       F#
 The sheets, clean me off,    I'm so dirty,
babe
Bm                          Em
  It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the
fame
G                           C#/F         F#
 It's for the bodies I claim    and those

[Chorus]
     G     F#/A#         Bm A E/G#
Only go so far  'til you bury them
   G        F#/A#
So deep and down, we go

[Bridge 1]
Bm
Down, and down we go, and down we go,
and down we go
                        Bm
And we all fall down! I tried! I tried!

[Chorus]
          G          F#/A#       Bm   A       E/G#
And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death
      G                 F#/A#                 Bm
We'll love again, we'll laugh again, and it's better off,
A     E/G#
 this way

[Bridge 2]
    G                A
And never again, and never again,
     Bm
they gave us two shots to the
G                           G   A    Bm
Back of the head, and we're all dead now
G    G                A
 And never again, and never again,
     Bm
they gave us two shots to the
G                           G   A    Bm
Back of the head, and we're all dead now
  G     A Bm G        G
I tried!      One more night,
         A
one more night!
       Bm                   G
Well, I  laugh out, cry out, laugh out
  G              A              Bm    G         G
I tried, well, I tried, well, I tried, 'cause I tried,
      A      Bm
but I lied, I  lied!
  G     A  Bm    G  G     A       Bm
I tried, I tried, I tried, well...
G          G                 A
 And we'll love again, we'll laugh again
      Bm                   G
We'll cry again, and we'll dance again
         G
And it's better off this way,
        A
so much better off this way
  Bm
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed!

[Outro]
    G
And never again, and never again,
they gave us two shots to the
                                     Bm
Back of the head, and we're all dead now
