F#
In a chalk dotted line*
C#
Draw a kid, left behind 
F
Severed limbs in harmony 
Bb                G#
Strumming from a few good deeds
F#
Carry it to survive 
C#
To a bed half alive 
F
Held before a dozen times 
Bb             G#             F#
Deep inside a funeral for a friend: 
        C#             F
Runs in portions like film clips
Bb    G#
Run, run
F# 
Rundown the list 
F#
The memoirist 
      F
Like kindling 
Bb          G#             C#
Burn, burn, burn, burn it down 
             F
I will stay inside 
     F#
The saved 
            Bb    G#    C#    
It's a good mourning

They will ignite you 
       F#
The doomed
    Bb      G#             
And I will write for you 

F#
Of a boy, damaged goods 
C#
Of a bench, understood 
F
For a spell, the soul resides 
Bb           G#
In a yellow chalk outline 

F#
Carry on the camel's back 
F#
Have another heart attack 
C#          F
To the cure I would drive 
Bb                   G#               F#
Played that scene a hundred times to date 

F#         C#           F
Today's ambition, to relate 
     Bb         G#         F#
In a sustaining saccharine state 
             C#            F
Impart the burden and get well 
            Bb        G#        Bb     
It's what everyone's trying to sell

Anything you want it to be
           C#            F
Weigh the screenplay and revise 
Bb    G#    F#             C#
Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist 
   F          Bb        G#     C#
So hopelessly ill-fated everyday 

             F
He will stay inside 
      F#
The doomed 
            Bb    G#     C#
It's a good mourning to loom 
             F
They will inspire him

The saved Innocently filling graves
