Part A

        Fmaj7sus2      Em
If your father swallows glass,
                 Fmaj7sus2    Em
The cracked foundation of his faith,
        F#maj7b9no3    Em
He will choke upon his words
            Gm6           Em
And he will struggle to relate
      Fmaj7sus2          Em
As he sputters shards of vitriol,
  Fmaj7sus2  Em
Dehumanizing hate,
         F#maj7b9no3  Em
He won't realize he's stabbed you deaf
    Gm6                 Em
And carved up both your fates

Part B

          Amaj7
You might like to sit and just enjoy each other's company
        E                Eb6               E6            E7
But the chairs are razor sharp and it's an uncomfortable seat
          Amaj7
You might like to take in all the best things in life that are free
            E               Eb6             E6               E7
But they're broken down and need repair and now it's too costly

Part C

            C5             B5  Em
And there's never any hope for change
        C5                 B5  Em
All the pieces have shapes too strange
         D5          C5             B5               A5
And with no aligning faces, you can see there's only basis
       G5            F#5       Em
For an instrument of death and pain

Outro
