Chords for Manchester Orchestra - "The Alien" (Live at WFUV)

_ The lights were low enough, [C#] you guessed
You swapped [F#] your conscience with your father's [B] medication
Lent _ [G#m] _ from Rome to [C#] Lawrenceville _
And [F#] on the way wrote out a self-made [B] declaration _
_ _ [G#m] When you got to Pleasant Hill
[C#] You forced the traffic to erase your family [B] demons _
_ _ [G#m] Made a pact with you and [C#] God
If you don't [F#] move, I swear to you I'm gonna [B] make you _
Do you need _ [D#m] me? _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] When _
_ _ [G#m] the first officer [C#] arrived
It happened [F#] to be the high school bully of [B] your brother _
_ _ [G#m] When you finally recognized
[C#]
You felt [F#] some guilt that you would even [B] let him touch you
_ _ [G#m] _ Can you hear me?
[C#] What's your name?
He could [F#] not speak, just laid amazed at [B] all the damage
And _ [G#m] _ as the high school's letting him [C#] out
_ [F#] All the kids are saying the same thing [B] that they used to
_ It's an _ _ [D#m] alien _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _
The _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ lights were low enough, [C#] you guessed
The [F#] hospital filled never enough [B] medication
The _ [G#m] _ doctor asked about your [C#] ears
He [F#] said your mom said you were made from [B] revelation
_ _ [G#m] _ Revelation [C#] never scares
Your fear [F#] came from your drunken dad and a [B] pair of scissors
Were [G#m] _ you just finally letting [C#] go?
_ [F#] Did you mean to take out all those [B] people with you?
Did mean _ [D#m] to _
_ [F#] Did mean _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ to
_ [B] _ _
Oh, I did mean to
_ _ [D#m] _
Never [F#] letting go
Never [B] letting go _
Oh, I did mean to
Never letting [D#m] go
_ [F#] Never letting _ _ [B] go _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] Time has come to take your last amendment and believe it [F#] on your own _ _ _
_ [G#m] Time is here to take you by the hand and leave you [F#] there alone _ _ _
And you won't [G#m] ever, time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it [F#] in your stone _ _ _ _
You won't [G#m] ever, time is here to take you by the hand and leave you [F#] there alone _ _ _ _
