[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G][Bm][D]
[G]
[Bm]Grandpa's house [D]lay a bit

[Verse 1]
[C]
[G]embattered
The family [D]split up [F#]since his buri[Bm]al[D]
Bitter [G]fights over the family business
[D]I tell ya, if he were here today
[C]He'd [G]say life compared to death
[D]Is so surreal
[G][Bm][G]

[Verse 2]
My dream [Bm]house burns to [G]ashes
Every [C]night before [G]the dawn
As I rummage [D]through the
ashes and [Bm]find a familiar
Bone to [D]carry [G]on
[Bm]All those memories[D]
I thought [C]were long gone
I gotta [G]let it alone, let it [D]alone
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
And all that you have is easily [G]taken[C]
All that you give is usually mis[G]taken
Take off your [D]dresses
Lay naked on the [C]bed
The Trickle- Down [G]system[Eb][G][F]
Comes a [G]flowing [D]into [G]your head
[F#][D][C][D][C][D][G][Bm][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
When we were younger,
[D]we were more like [G]purveyors[C][G]
Perverse and pur[D]poseful
and full of neglect
[Bm]Thes[D]e da[G]ys we have been[D]
reduced to survey[C]ors
[G]More severe, more soulful, [D]and
Actually capable of some respect
[G]

[Verse 5]
[C]All that you have is easily tak[G]en[C]
All that you give is usually mis[G]taken
[D]Take off your uniforms
Lay naked on the [C]bed
The Trickle- Down [G]system[Eb][G][F]
Comes [G]a p[D]ouring into your head

[Verse 6]
Past the point [G](the point
of) of no [C]return
Ashes [G]to ashes, return [D]to cinder
Maybe I'm [C]a ponderer
Sleep drunk on a pond of her
[G]tears[Eb]
[G][F][G][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]
All that you have is easily [G]taken[D][C]
All that you give is usually mis[G]taken
Take off of [D]everything
Lay naked on the [C]bed
The Trickle- [G]Down [Eb]system
[G][Fm][F][G][Eb]
Comes a [G]pouring [D]in your hea[G]d

[Outro 1]
[Em][C]
