When [Bb] you're out three sheets to the [E] wind, [Ab] specimen slowly,
[B]
[Bb] giving yourself your [E] sins, part of the process,
the [Ab] boy with the [E] bloodshot eyes, [Abm] 11 in your [B] mother's time,
[Gb] [B] [Gb] [B]
the [Bb] words you scrawl on the [E] wall, [Abm] revealing the [B] silence,
a [Bb] totem pole in your [E] home, rewarding our bodies,
[Abm] ignoring the hours [E] stretched on as [Abm] the body you push [B] to the car,
[Gb] [Bb] [Gb] [Ab]
don't [G] you know the cracks can be seen,
a space you know [E] to mean what has been or will never [Abm] be,
[E]
tearing [Ab] the arches [E] down, the nail in [Abm] the old door shut,
tearing the arches [B] down, [Gb]
[G] [B] [G] [B]
[Gb] [B]
these streets [Bb] they used to look [E] big,
these houses [Ab] were holy, [B]
a [Bb] low fidelity sting,
[E] a blemish by progress, a [Abm] memory stained,
both [E] steps will bury [Abm] the day we [B] left, [Gb]
don't you [G] know the cracks can be [B] seen,
a [G] space you know to [E] mean what has been or will [Abm] never be,
we [E] don't care if we do the [B] other half, [E] but the more you [Gb] see the [B] more you want,
the [E] whole tragedy is it [Ab] has to [E] stop,
[Abm] tearing the arches [E]
down, the nail in the old door shut,
tearing the [B] arches down.
