[Verse 1]

   G                              C/G   G
sittin here thinking over this whiskey,
                       C/G              G
countin off the labels, across from me.
  B7                       C
wondering how people like you and me come to meet,
              G          B7           C
between the path of chaos and harmony.


[Chorus]

            G                                       C/G
They say, this is the house that broken hearts build,
        
        G                   C/G
lonely die on the corner of vanderbilt,
       G              B7            C
and I dont know it quite as well as someother souls
around here.
        Em                         C
and I've seen this show, I know the outtakes and the credit
roll,
           G                       B7
I've tried on these clothes, and im drink from that water, lord
      Em                               C
and I know the scene well, where the thing comes up
         G                   B7
from the depths of hell, the depths of hell.

G                    C/G             G
Walking the streets behind the city, watching familys
C/G
live in between.
      G         B7               C                Em
the fences they mend it out of love or redemption,
      G          B7            C
and I know that feeling, too well.


[Chorus]

from the depths of hell to haunt me in my dreams
