We [D] used to get high together, [G] still to get high alone
[Bm] Can't remember the last time I saw you, [G] can't remember the last time we talked
You [D] left home for a fresh start, working as a [G] waitress down in Bradenton
With [Bm] my name [A] tattooed into [G] your skin
[A] Because of the [D] shame, I [G] associate with vulnerability
I [Bm] am numbing myself completely, can [G] you hear me right now?
[D] I watched your mother bury you today, [G] with tears in her eyes
[Bm] Oh, it wasn't her [A] words that shook me, [G] but those emblems you shared
[D] [A]
[G] [A]
[G]
[D] Don't it seem so detached and unreal, don't [G] it seem so far away?
[Bm] Like the past never happened, [G] like nothing's ever changed
[D] With your casket open in front of me, [G] your eyes closed and your lips silent
[Bm] My name [A] tattooed into [G] your skin
Because [D] of the shame, [G] I associate with vulnerability
I [Bm] am numbing myself completely, can [G] you hear me right now?

[D] Didn't listen to the preacher, [G] couldn't look your husband in the eye
[Bm] Not sure what I meant to you [G] then, so I'm not sure what I owe you now
[D] But it's something I said hurt you, I [G] swear it was not my intention
With [Bm] your name [A] tattooed into [G] my skin
With [Bm] your name [A] tattooed into [G] my skin
Because of the [D] shame, I [G] associate with vulnerability
[Bm] I am numbing myself completely, can [G] you hear me right now?

Oh, [Bm] it wasn't her [A] words that shook me, [G] but those emblems you shared
