Chord progression arranged for the Ukulele
Am Am                              D D
The lights were low enough, you guessed
G G C C
You swapped your conscience with your fathers medication
Am Am D D
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
G G C C
And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration
Am Am D D
And when you got to Pleasant Hill
G G C C
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
Am Am D D
And made a pact with you and God
G G C C
If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya

C C Em Em
Do you need me?
G G C C
Do you need me?
C C Em Em
Do you need me?
G G C C
Do you need me?

Am Am D D
When the first officer arrived
G G C C
It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
Am Am D D
When you finally recognized
G G C C
You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
Am Am D D
Can you hear me? What's your name?
G G C C
You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage
Am Am D D
And as the high school's letting out
G G C C
All the kids saying the same thing that they used to

C C Em Em
It's an alien
G G C C
It's an alien
C C Em Em
It's an alien
G G C C
It's an alien

Am Am D D
The lights are low enough, you guessed
G G C C
Hospital food, there's never enough medication
Am Am D D
The doctor asked about your ears
G G C C
You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
Am Am D D
The revelation never scares
G G C C
If you came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
Am Am D D
You just finally letting go?
G G C C
Did you mean to take out all those people with you?

C C Em Em
Didn't mean to
G G C C
Didn't mean to
C C Em Em
Didn't mean to
G G C C
Didn't mean to

C C Em Em
Oh I didn't mean to (Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go)
G G C C
Oh I didn't mean to (Never letting go)
C C Em Em
No I didn't mean to (Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go)
G G C C
Oh I didn't mean to (Never letting go)

Am Am G G
Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own
Am Am G G
Time is here to take you by the hand and leave you there alone
Am Am G G
Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it into stone
Am Am G G
Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone
