[Verse 1]
G Fmaj7 C G
In the summer of '07 I was sure I'd go to heaven
Fmaj7 C G
But I was hedging my bets at VBS
Fmaj7 C G
The preacher in a t-shirt told me I could be a leader
Fmaj7 C Am C
Taught me how to build a fire and to spread the word
G Fmaj7 C G
In the evening everybody went to worship and weep
Fmaj7 C G
Hands above our heads, reaching for God
Fmaj7 C G
Back in the cabin, snorting nutmeg in your bunk bed
Fmaj7 C Am C
You were waiting for a revelation of your own
G Fmaj7 C G
Sedentary secrets like peach pits in your gut
Fmaj7 C G
Locked away like jam jars in the cellar of your heart
Fmaj7 C G
Waiting to be tasted and ultimately wasted
Fmaj7 C Am C
You were gonna win me over from the start
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
The poetry was so bad
C G
It took a lot to not laugh
G Fmaj7 C
You said that I showed you the light
Am C
But all it did in the end
G Fmaj7 C
Was make the dark feel darker than before
G Fmaj7 Am C
[Verse 2]
G Fmaj7 C G
Your dad keeps his sleeves down through the summer for a reason
Fmaj7 C G
Your mother wears her makeup extra thick for a reason
Fmaj7 C G
When I tell you you were born and you are here for a reason
Fmaj7 Am C
You are not convinced the reason is a good one
G Fmaj7 C G
While you're going to sleep your mind keeps you awake
Fmaj7 G
And it makes your heart beat fast and loud
Fmaj7 C G
There's nothing you can do but the only thing you found
Fmaj7 C Am C
Playing Slayer at full volume helps to drown it out
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
The poetry was so bad
C G
It took a lot to not laugh
G Fmaj7 C
You said that I showed you the light
Am C
But all it did in the end
G Fmaj7 C
Was make the dark feel darker than before
G Fmaj7 C
Dark feel darker than before
G Fmaj7 Am
Dark feel darker than before
