[Verse]
                 D                                 G
We used to get high together, instead of getting high alone.

           Bm
I can't remember the last time I saw you.

           G
I can't remember the last time we talked.

          D
You left home for a fresh start,

                              G
working as a waitress down in Bradenton.

         Bm       A              G
With my name tattoo'd into your skin.
[Chorus]
                D        G
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability

     Bm                  Bm/A
I am numbing myself completely.

          G
Can you hear me right now?

               D                           G                G/A
I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes.

         Bm                      A                     G
well, It wasn't her words that shook me, it was the resemblance you shared.

 D   A          G(A)
Whoa oh  oh oh whoa X2
[Verse]
           D                                    G
Don't it seem so detached and unreal? Don't it seem so far away?

         Bm                             G
Like the past never happened, or like nothing's ever changed.

            D
With your casket open in front of me,

            G
your eyes closed and your lips silent.

         Bm      A               G
With my name tattoo'd into your skin.
[Chorus]
                D        G
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability

     Bm                  Bm/A
I am numbing myself completely.

          G

D   A          G
Whoa oh  oh oh whoa x2
[Verse]
           D
I didn't listen to the preacher.

                      G
I couldn't look your husband in the eyes.

        Bm
I'm not sure what I meant to you then,

            G
so I'm not sure what I owe you now.

         D
But if something I said hurt you

               G
I swear it was not my intention.

          Bm      A             G
With your name tattoo'd into my skin.

          Bm      A             G
With your name tattoo'd into my skin.
[Chorus]
