[Verse 1]
C G Madelyn, I share your hate for this world we're in Am F But it makes me a better man; It's an excuse that you make. C G And Madelyn, I know you want to let the bottles in. Am I know you think that they're all your friends. F They're lying straight to your face. Dm G F Dm G F I know about the devil in your bloodstream; I know that the ghosts still visit nightly. Dm G F Em Dm I know it must get lonely by the Chesapeake.
[Verse 2]
C G Am F Madelyn, are you really afraid of death or do you just say it if it's the right thing to say? C G Madelyn, I know you're safe where you lay your head Am F But if you wanted to come back, I've got a place you could stay. Dm G F Dm G F Dm Em If I'm not doing right by my family, then what's the point of it anyway. . .anyway.
[Verse 3]
C G I don't think there's a god; I don't think that there's someone coming to save us Am G F And I don't think that's the worst news of the day; C G I don't think there's a god. I don't think that there's someone coming to save me Am G F And I don't think that's the worst news of the day.
[Verse 4]
C G Madelyn, I know how your cold scars turn purple. Am F I know how the Irish goodbyes feel. I know where you've been C G And Madelyn, you and I got this East Coast blood between us. Am F It's bitter and vitriolic; I know how it ends. Dm G F Dm G F End on F If I'm not doing right by my family... oh, I'm not doing right by family.
