The Airborne Toxic Event – Glory (Guitar)

G
When I think about the truth sometimes

G
While sitting up alone late

G
Listening for my heart at night, just to hear it beat

G               C
And it's got a hole

C                                          G
There's something wrong, there's something more

G
'Cause I gave up on believing it

G
I was just a little, lone bottle babe

G
Howling in an empty room, just sitting inside for days

G                 C                                G
We got to perform it, we got to put our best faces on

Em                             Am
So people come and go and then disappear for days

Em                                              C                 D
So you spend your whole life watching lovе like staring through a haze

G
For glory is not my friend

G                         C
I nеver win when I try to win

C                  G
I just lose it all again

G                                                              C
And the story I tell myself: it's not your fault, it's not yourself

C                               G
You were just never born not to win

Em                               Am
But I'm sick of lonely mornings, I'm sick of thinking about it

          Em 
I keep thinking it might change someday

                    C
But goddamn I truly doubt it

G 
But it hurts too much to think, and it hurts too much to know it

G
And it hurts too much to hold too tight, then it hurts when you let go of it

                C                                              G
It just fucking hurts all the time, that's why we never notice it

Em                          Am
So forget about this paper, forget about the baby

Em                                 C
Forget about the times I said if I lost you I'd go crazy

Em                            Am
Forget these gilded ceilings, forget my wedding vows

Em                                                C
 Forget you were the one thing I could never live without

       G 
'Cause glory is not my friend

                          C
I never win when I try to win

C                   G
I just lose it all again

G                                                           C
And the story that I tell myself, you're better off by all alone

                   G
Then I hate being alone

Em                                        Am
But you cried when I walked away and you said I looked sedated

Em                                             C
And just because I hold it in so much doesn't mean I don't fucking hate it

                            G
And I just want you to come home

G
Oh babe, please come home

Em                                   Am
You say you never left me, but those words you say about me

Em                                   C
You never had to hide from all those endless ghouls around me

                     G
I love you more than that

                             C
I've never loved anything so much

C                         G
Can't you feel it when we touch?

Em                                      Am
But I never dared to lose someone and I can't be cool about it

Em                                  C
I lay awake and think of you and it hurts so much to doubt it

G
'Cause glory is not my friend

G                           C
I always lose when I try to win

C                     G
Now I've lost it all again

G 
And our story, does it really have to end?

G                    C
Maybe we could start again

G
I truly hope we do, my friend

G
I truly hope we do, my friend

G
I just can't lose you again
