Car Seat Headrest – Equals (Guitar)

      E
Well, he was not a close friend, he was hardly a friend at all -

                                       A
I was as surprised as you'd be when he asked if we could call

                    F#m                                        B
He said: "I've been scrolling through my contacts, but there's no one left to text

       F#m                           D
I just needed to talk to someone who doesn't hate me yet"

       E                            A
I'd engaged in some debating of his guilt with folks I knew

          E                                    A
There was something in his voice that said the worst of it was true

             F#m                           B
"Oh, they've really done it to me, I can't bеar to hear my name

  F#m                       A        D
I used to know my rеal one, now it's covered up with shame"

E                        F#m
Without a defense I stand

                   A
And ask if there's something left to save

E                                       F#m
'Cause what was the point of these hands

              A
If they could give nothing but pain?

E                                 F#m
If I'm not what I'm supposed to be

       A
If the front can't hold anymore

E                            F#m
Could you retain any hope in me?

               A                         B                      D
Or leave me to drown in the feedback, cords 'round my feet, jackdaw at my breast

    A                B
The devil's familiar comes every night

     D
He's listening to every breath

E                    F#m A
And am I guilty again?

E                        F#m A
And is that all that I am?

       E                              A
I have laughed it off as crazy in the company of peers

    E                           A
But as you are my equal I'll be honest with you here -

          F#m                                B
That it's way too raw to talk about with the distance that I'd like

  F#m                                D
I don't feel good about it now and I won't when I look back

E                        F#m
Without a defense I stand

                   A
And ask you to take me back again

E                                       F#m
'Cause what was the point of these hands

              A
If they could give nothing but pain?

E                        F#m
Oh, that hero you thought

      A
Could show you the light from the distance

E                                 F#m
And now that you know that I'm not

              A
Could you get by with the difference?
