"The Alien"
[Intro]
Em A The lights were low enough, you guessed D G You swapped your conscience with your fathers medication Em A Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville D G And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration Em A And when you got to Pleasant Hill D G You forced the traffic to erase your family demons Em A And made a pact with you and God D G If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya
[Chorus]
G Bm Do you need me? D G Do you need me? G Bm Do you need me? D G Do you need me?
[Verse 2]
Em A When the first officer arrived D G It happened to be the high school bully of your brother Em A When you finally recognized D G You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you Em A Can you hear me? What's your name? D G You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage Em A And as the high school's letting out D G All the kids saying the same thing that they used to
[Chorus]
G Bm It's an a-lien D G It's an a-lien G Bm It's an a-lien D G It's an a-lien
[Verse 3]
Em A The lights are low enough, you guessed D G Hospital food, there's never enough medication Em A The doctor asked about your ears D G You said your mom said you were made from a revelation Em A The revelation never scares D G If you came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors Em A You just finally letting go? D G Did you mean to take out all those people with you?
[Chorus]
G Bm Didn't mean to D G Didn't mean to G Bm Didn't mean to D G Didn't mean to
[Chorus]
G Bm Oh I didn't mean to (Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go) D G Oh I didn't mean to (Never letting go) G Bm No I didn't mean to (Oh I didn't take the time to learn to let you go) D G Oh I didn't mean to (Never letting go)

[Outro]
Em D Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own Em D Time is here to take you by the hand and leave you there alone Em D Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it into stone Em D Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone
"The Sunshine"
[Verse 1]
D Em I already know that I don't already know D You are the sunlight Em I don't really care if you don't understand D You are the moonlight Em D And that's alright, alright with me Em Oh, that's alright
[Verse 2]
D Em I don't really mind if you don't really mind D You are the sunshine Em You don't have to know if you don't wanna know D You are the moonlight Em D Oh and that's alright, alright with me Em D Oh that's alright, alright with me Em D Oh and that's alright, alright with me Em D Oh that's alright, alright with me Em D Oh and that's alright, alright with me Em Oh that's alright
"The Grocery"
[Intro]
| Em | Em | D | D | (2x)
[Verse 1]
D G A "I don't know where I'm going but I'm going anyways" D G A So you leave the apartment, grab the gun under the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Em I want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see D Want to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet Em I want to feel the way my father felt, is it easier for me? D I want to know if there's a higher love oblivious to me
[Interlude]
| Em | Em | D | D |
[Verse 2]
D G A So you walk in the grocery and you unload several rounds D G A "Don't you dare move a muscle", cardboard cutout ads
[Pre-Chorus]
Em I want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see D Want to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet Em I want to feel the way your father felt, was it easy for belief? D I want to know if there's a higher love he saw that I can't see
[Chorus]
A Looking back, it's obvious now Em You believe him or you don't
[Interlude]
| Em | Em | D | D | (2x)
[Verse 3]
D G A So you load up your pistol and you press it to your lips D G A And you squeeze on the trigger, all it does is clicks
[Pre-Chorus]
Em I want to reach above the para-blind where nobody could see D Want to hold a light to paradise and see if I could sleep Em I want to feel the way our fathers felt when it swept them off their feet D I want to know about that higher love you saw that can't be seen
[Chorus]
A The only obvious equation Em You believe it or you don't
[Bridge]
D Em I've been trying to find the right way to get out of here D Em I've been trying to find the right way to get out of here G D A Em O-o-oh, this is the only way to go G D A A O-o-oh, this is the only way-ay
[Outro]
