Cmaj7
I had a brother once

   G6
He drowned in a bathtub

Fmaj7b5
Before he'd ever learned

Gsus2
How

   Cmaj7
To talk

            G6
And I don't know what his name was

Fmaj7b5
But my mother does

E
I heard her say it once

Cmaj7
Padraic my prince, I have all but died

          G6
From the sheer weight of my shame

    Fmaj7b5
You cried but no one came

        E
And the water filled your tiny lungs

Cmaj7
Appear, my dear, and cry for me

    G6
Six years ago today

       Fmaj7b5
That I laid you in your grave

     E
Your sweet young skin was shining then too
[Chorus]
Am                        F
So tonight to celebrate I will...

       G
I will poison myself

Am
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom

F       G
That is spinning

      C         G
And I close the door

      Am                  F
And I rest my head on the tile floor

C            G                Am
Sickness and sleep turning me cold

C             G
I'm still not sure

              Am                      F
Is there some better place I could be heading towards?

C                   G             Am
Where the selfishly sick and self-absorbed...
[Verse 2]
    Cmaj7   G6   Fmaj7b5   E
Are welcome

Cmaj7
I saw the future once

      G6
I was drunk in a phone booth

Fmaj7b5
My eyes were wet and red

            Gsus2
But I could not tell what

    Cmaj7
Was said

                G6
And through the screams of the traffic

Fmaj7b5
Voices carried

E
Saying I'm sorry

Cmaj7
On a day so gray it's black inside

         G6
Watching churches on TV

     Fmaj7b5
In a coma you don't dream

         E
You just hope that someone sits with you

Cmaj7
Babies turn blue when they're ignored

         G6
Like the sky on summer days

           Fmaj7b5
Before you turn and walk away

E
It has changed you
[Chorus]
Am                         F
So tonight to compensate I will...

       G
I will poison myself

Am                                     F
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom

        G
That is spinning
Am E Am E Am E
