G                          Cadd9
  On the train a passenger cursed his name

G          Dsus4               Cadd9
  Asked to leave, gripping the papers he received

         A                         A/B Cadd9
Still he almost felt that he would forgive them

G                               Cadd9
  Angels bled, blissful, blind citizens

G          Dsus4          Cadd9
  Crafting coats fit for abandonment and cold

         A                        A/B Cadd9
And they used to wish that they could forget it

D                                      G              Cadd9
  He was sentenced with no explanation and no jury or trial

D                                   G        D        Em       C
  He’s the scapegoat of imagination and your cruelest denial

D                            G                   Cadd9
  He would have laid down on tracks for you

G                              Cadd9
  The journey ends. He arrives home to them

G                   Dsus4               Cadd9
  Those tracks will always lead to his loved ones and actual friends

         A                        A/B Cadd9
Where he always feels the cleanse of amens

G                     Cadd9
  Blown apart so many times before

G           Dsus4            Cadd9
  Pieces of his heart strewn across the killing floor

           A                 A/B Cadd9
They’re no longer beautiful or adored

D
They would never intentionally hurt you

G                 Cadd9
That is truly a lie

D
The traveler that finds a room for forgiveness

G       D      Em
A courtesy you deny

          C
Imagine that

D                            G                   D#5
  He would have laid down on tracks for you

E5            D
   And on the masthead

G                      Cadd9
  Well you can go fuck yourself

Em              D
   I replay the scene in my head

G              Am
Over and over, though the cobwebs

C      D                   G      Cadd9
Enough of your conditional love

G5                                Cadd9
  New year’s day marking six months estranged

G             Dsus4                      Cadd9
  He let it slide, a false confession to unknown crimes

       A                       A/B Cadd9
But he dove on that grenade to be saved

D
He will always be there for them, loyal

G                   Cadd9
Through the toil of all these years

D
But you bury your past in the soil

G            D         Em
Like someone who never cared

          G   Em7   A7sus4   C
That´s no way     to       react

D                            G                 Cadd9
  He would have laid down on tracks for you

                           G             Dsus4
He would have laid down on tracks for you
