Guitar 1 + Guitar 3 in background

F#6sus4
Called 

   
to see

        F#6sus4
if your back

    			   F#6sus4
was still aligned and your sheets

     			                         
were growing grass all on the corners of your bed

    F#6sus4 
But you've

                           F#6sus4
got too much to wear on your sleeves

                         F#6sus4
it has too much to do with me

                                     
and secretly I want to bury in the yard

    /                    F#6sus4
the gray remains of a friendship scarred

You told us of your new life there

           F#6sus4                      
you've got someone coming 'round

       F#6sus4              
gluing tinsel to your crown

                                
he's got you talkin' pretty loud

      F#6sus4 
You berate remember

     F#6sus4               
your ailing heart and your criminal eyes

    F#6sus4                  
You say you're still in love

                              
if it's true, what can be done?

     /                  
It's hard to leave all these moments behind

    F#6sus4     
You tested your metal

the lipless

    
who bleed all

    
the sweetness
