_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] Scream hallelujah until you [Bb] cough up [Dm] blood, cause the devil [Bb] came for our minds but he
[Eb] left with our love.
So I looked into myself for something [D] I knew nothing about and found no solutions but found
a lot of doubt [Dm] and slowly found out my heart [Eb] was a trap door waiting for the right [Bb] one
to fall in the center so she would take a [Dm] final bow and [G] become mine forever. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[Gm] I found a pocket of comfort and [Cm] acceptance and called it love but it was just another
season that would end with [Gm] leaves falling into mud so we found ourselves [Dm] in a new world
where we would have [F] to live out of fear and [Bb] call it living by faith.
A [Dm] journey of forgetting who we are so we could remember [Gm] our place and we tried to read maps
[Cm] backwards to lead us back to the beginning of the journey, [D] the only [A] place we could walk
hand in hand and not feel so lonely.
_ _ [Cm] _
[F] Then those maps of [C] tangled [Eb] lines became our [D] footprints in sinking sand.
[Gm] _
We're being washed away by waves of trusting each other to feel complete [F] but then came
up short until we both felt alone and empty with no [Eb] breadcrumbs laid down to lead us back to safety.
We thought this was built to last until we die but [Gm] even that doesn't mean forever, _ _ [Cm] _
_ at
least not in my [C] mind.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [G] _ Trust in my ability to love more than I [Gbm] trust in love.
_ And I [Gb] trusted your smiles, your [Eb] emotions, not a mask to cover up your hand.
[G] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
Scooping up [G] buckets of blood. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ We would travel far and see many new things and we [Ab] believed we could be anything as long
as we had each other but [Eb] the father came when another stayed long enough to give you the
feeling [A] I did when this [D] journey began.
And now our hands are completely [Bb] stained red as we journey seeing new country roads connecting
to the broken dreams [Dm] of simple families, the roads lined with animals waiting for their
turn at the slaughter, a [Bb]
reality on the roads we see and a metaphor for our sons and [Am] daughters.
[Dm] Because the blood on our hands was the only way to keep the roots of our love watered
and we had nothing to believe in but we still wanted [F] to die like martyrs. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
And when someone came to carry me on this journey, the blood [Bb] of our past flooding our
beliefs, I watched someone come along and part the Red Sea.
But even [Eb] on dry land I couldn't breathe because [Bb] my body built an immunity to your apathy and
that's all I needed to believe.
Love was still the reason that I could stand on my own two feet.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] Scream all night _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] long until you [Bb] cough up blood.
_ _ _ [C] _
_ [Bb] I inhaled this world [Dm] for so long.
[Eb] _ _
_ [Gm] It tore out [Bb] my lungs.
_ _ [Dm] _ _
_ It tore out my lungs.
_ _ [Eb] _ _
_ It tore out my lungs.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
