C C                  Am Am         C C                  Am Am
Twice a week I pass by the church that held your funeral
Em Em F F C C
and the pastor's words come pouring down like rain.
C C Am Am C C Am Am
How he called you a sinner but said now you walk with Jesus,
Em Em F F C C G G
so the drugs that took your life aren't gonna cause you any pain.

G G F F C C
I don't think he even knew your name.
G G F F C C G G F F
I refused to kneel or pray. I won't remember you that way
C C G G F F
but I lit you a candle in every cathedral across Europe.
G G F F C C
I hope you know you're still my patron saint.

C C Am Am G G F F
I tried to forgive but I can't forget the cigar in his fist.
G G F F C C
I know that they were heartsick but I need someone to blame
G G F F C C
and I know how they blame me. I know what you'd say.
G G F F C C G G F F
You'd tell me it was your fault. I should put all my arrows away.

C C G G
I'm sure there ain't a heaven,
Am Am G G F F
but that don't mean I don't like to picture you there.
G G F F C C
I bet you're bumming cigarettes off saints.
C C G G
I'm sure you're still singing
Am Am G G F F
but I'll bet that you're still just a bit out of key.
G G F F C C
With that crooked smile pushing words across your teeth.

Am Am G G
You were heat lightning.
C C G G F F
You were a storm that never rolled in.
Am Am G G C C F F
You were the northern lights in a southern town, a caustic fleeting thing.
Am Am G G
I'll bury your memories in the garden;
C C G G F F
I'll watch them grow with the flowers in the spring.
C C
I'll keep you with me.

C C F F C C F F

C C
These wolves in their suits and ties
F F
saying “kid you can trust me.”
C C
Charming southern drawl, sunken eyes.
F F
Buying good will in hotel lobbies.
C C F F
They got fistfuls of pills to make sure you don't hurt no more.

You don't gotta feel anything.
C C
Got their fangs in our veins.
F F
Got their voice in our heads.

Got our arms in their grips.

No, we can't shake free.
C C F F
This god damn machine; hungry and heartless.
C C
My whole generation got lost in the margin.
F F
We put our faith in you. You turned a profit.
C C F F
Now we're drowning here under your waves.
C C F F
Drowning held under your waves.

Drowning here. Drowning here.
C C F F
You can't have my friends. You can't have my brothers.
C C
You can't have my friends. You can't have my brothers.
F F
You can't have my friends. You can't have my brothers.
C C
You can't have me. No, you can't have me.
