Two Tab por The Antlers

A                                                 Asus2
In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up,
 A                                                Asus2
when a doctor came to tell me, "Enough is enough."
 Bm                                                         D
He brought me out into the hall (I could have sworn it was haunted),
 Bm                                                     D
and told me something that I didn't know that I wanted to hear:
 A                                                Asus2
That there was nothing that I could do to save you,
 A                                                Asus2
the choir's gonna sing, and this thing is gonna kill you.
 Bm                                          D
Something in my throat made my next words shake,
 Bm                                           D
and something in the wires made the lightbulbs break.
 A                                                           Asus2
There was glass inside my feet and raining down from the ceiling,
 A                                                 Asus2
it opened up the scars that had just finished healing.
 Bm                                                         D
It tore apart the canyon running down your femur,
 Bm                                                         D
(I thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer.)
 A                                                 Asus2
And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room,
 A                                                 Asus2
but I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew.
 Bm                                                         D
When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain,
 Bm                                                         D
you came to hating me again and just sang your refreain:
 A                                                 Asus2
You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare.
 A                                                 Asus2
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair,
 Bm                                                         D
then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying.
 Bm                                                         D
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying.
 A                                                 Asus2
Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up, 
 A                                                 Asus2
built the gears in your head, now he greases them up. 
 Bm                                                         D
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating. 
 Bm                                                         D
"Eighty-seven pounds!" and this all bears repeating.
 A                                                 Asus2
Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy,
 A                                                 Asus2
wearing silver rings with nobody clapping.
 Bm                                                         D
When we moved here together we were so disappointed,
 Bm                                                         D
sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed.
 A                                                 Asus2
It killed me to see you getting always rejected,
 A                                                 Asus2
but I didn't mind the things you threw, the phones I deflected.
 Bm                                                         D
I didn't mind you blaming me for your mistakes,
 Bm                                                         D
I just held you in the doorframe through all of the earthquakes.
 A                                                 Asus2
But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night,
 A                                                 Asus2
and I would try to grab your ankles (what a pitiful sight.)
 Bm                                                         D
But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you from 
 Bm                                                         D
stomping out that door, coming back like you always do.
  A                                                 Asus2
Well no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can.
 A                                                 Asus2
You say that, 'No one's gonna listen, and no one understands.'
 Bm                                                         D
So there's no open doors and there's no way to get through,
 Bm                                                         D
there's no other witnesses, just us two.
 A                                                 Asus2
There's two people living in one small room,
 A                                                 Asus2
from your two half-families tearing at you,
 Bm                                                         D
two ways to tell the story (no one worries),
 Bm                                                         D
two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry,
 A                                                 Asus2
two people talking inside your brain,
 A                                                 Asus2
two people believing that I'm the one to blame
, Bm                                                         D
two different voices coming out of your mouth,
 Bm                                                         D
while I'm too cold to care and too sick to shout.
 A                                                 Asus2
You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare.
 A                                                 Asus2
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair,
 Bm                                                         D
then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying.
 Bm                                                         D
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying.
 A                                                 Asus2
Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up, 
 A                                                 Asus2
built the gears in your head, now he greases them up.
 Bm                                                         D
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating. 
 Bm                                                         D
"Eighty-seven pounds!" and this all bears repeating.
