[D]Madelyn,
I share your hate for this [F#m]world we're in
[ch]B#m[/ch]
but it makes me a better man.
It's an excuse that you [G]make.
[D]Madelyn,
I know you want to let the [F#m]bottles in.
[ch]B#m[/ch]
I know you think that they're all your friends.
They're lying straight to your [G]face.
and I [Em]know
about the [A]devil in your [G]bloodstream.
and I [Em]know
that the [A]ghosts still visit [G]nightly.
[Em]and I know
it must get [A]lonely by the [G]Chesapeake.
[F#] [Em]
[D]Madelyn,
are you really [F#m]afraid of death
[ch]B#m[/ch]
or do you just say it if
it's the right thing to [G]say?
[D]Madelyn,
I know you're safe where you [F#m]lay your head,
[ch]B#m[/ch]
but if you wanted to come back,
I've got a place you could [G]stay.
[Em]If I'm not
doing [A]right
by my [G]family,
then [Em]what's
the [A]point of it [G]anyway?
[F#]Of this [Em]anyway?
I don't think there's a [D]god.
I don't think that there's [F#]someone coming
to save us
and I don[B]'t think that's the [A]worst news of
the [G]day.
I don't think there's a [D]god.
I don't think that there's [F#]someone coming to save me
and I don[B]'t think that's the [A]worst news of
the [G]day.
[D]Madelyn,
I know how your [F#m]cold scars turn purple.
[ch]B#m[/ch]
I know how the Irish goodbyes feel.
I know where you've [G]been
and [D]Madelyn,
you and I got this [F#m]East Coast blood between us.
[ch]B#m[/ch]
It's bitter and vitriolic.
I know how it [G]ends.
If I'm [Em]not doing [A]right by my [G]family.
well, I'm [Em]not doing [A]right by [G]family
