The Suffering

i don’t want to ruin this gorgeous wonderful wonderful song , but the beauty
of it’s mostly in the arrangement . those backing vocals , man . still , i’m
pretty sure these are the chords , so make it sound nice .

B D#m
is there a word or right to say
G#m
even in this old fashioned way?
F#
go make your move , girl
E
i’m not coming home

B D#m
would things have changed if i could’ve stayed?
G#m
would you have loved me either way?
F#
dressed to the blues
E
day to day with my collar up

B D#m
decision sits , so make it quick
G#m
a breath inhaled from an air so sick
F#
i cursed the day that i learned
E C#m
of the web you span ( you had your hold till bleeding . . . )

E
hey , hey , if it was up to me
G#m
i would’ve figured you out
F# B
way before the year clocked out
E C#m
oh , i hope you’re waiting

E
hey , hey , if it was up to me
G#m
i would’ve never walked out
F# B
so until the sun burns out
E C#m
oh , i hope you’re waiting

D#m
we have lived as a child would care
G#m
with this vial to drink i dare
F# E
only to cry all alone with your taste on tongue
B
oh , where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving? oh . . .

D#m
should we try this again with hope?
G#m
or is it lost , give up the ghost
F# E
and should i die all alone as i knew i would
C#m
then burn in hell , young sinner

E
hey , hey , if it was up to me
G#m
i would’ve figured you out
F# B
way before the year clocked out
E
oh , i hope you’re waiting

B F#
listen well , will you marry me?
G#m
are you well in the suffering?
E
you’ve been the most gracious of hosts , you may be invited , girl
F# B
but you’re not coming in

F#
listen well , will you marry me?
G#m
are you well in the suffering?
E
you’ve been the most gracious of hosts , i may be invited , girl
