[VERSE]

    Em             Bm          C             D                   A
His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie
   Em                   Bm                   C                 D              A
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way
Em               Bm          C            D
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
Em                 Bm                  C               D
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son

    Am         Bm     C           D
One person can make a difference, sometimes
     Am                     Bm               C     D
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck

N.C.
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."

Em        Bm                  C          D             A
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
Em             Bm            C          D         A
Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day


[CHORUS]

Gm             Eb           Gm                 Eb                Bb
Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
       Cm           D
At the end of every tunnel's a little light
            Gm              Eb              Gm             Eb
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
Bb                 Cm               D
He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not


[KEY CHANGE]

Eb   F           G          D
   I hate it and fear can't face it
       Eb            F              G        D
   The child is not right, he's my greatest shame
      Eb           F            G           D
   Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
        F         G               A
   That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those

Bbm         Gb        Ab               Db            Bbm
Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
Gb       Ab            Db       Db/C
Somehow, lost one more way back home


[VERSE]

    Em              Bm             C                         D                  A
Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago
    Em                Bm           C                   D           A
The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life


[CHORUS]

Gm           Eb                 Gm        Eb
Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade
Bb       Cm            D                              Gm
He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever
          Eb              Gm              Eb
She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
Bb        Cm             D
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together

Over the hills, under the sea, fighting the will, whole Universe

For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell
