Standard Tuning, Capo 2, 4, 5 & 6 (where indicated)
CAPO 4
There is a man in this world, who has never smiled
You may know his tragedy, the later years, by heart
In the beginning, there was a mother, a father, and a child
A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy
Known to us from this day on by his father, Caleb..

Em.. Bm.. C.. Dadd11
Am.. Bsus4.. C... Dadd11
Am.. Bsus4.. C... Dadd11
His [Em]mother came up [Bsus4]with such a [C]clever way to [Dadd11]save the day with a [Asus2]little white lie
He [Em]thinks he missed the [Bsus4]point back then, but [C]now he's grown to [Dadd11]understand it, [Asus2]in a way
Em Bm C Dadd11
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
Em Bm C Dadd11
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son
One [Am]person can [Bsus4]make a [C]difference, [Dadd11]sometimes
Just [Am]turn his head when the [Bsus4]kid is still and [C]has a [Dadd11]weak neck
(NC)
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
[Em]All his so[Bsus4]lutions, it seemed,[C] were only [Dadd11]problems in dis[Asus2]guise
[Em]Glueing on his [Bsus4]drinkin' face,[C] got ready [Dadd11]to erase a[Asus2]nother day
CAPO 2
[Am]Mother was yet [F]confident, al[Am]though they had it [F]tight, taught her [C]son
At the [Dm]end of every [E]tunnel's a little light
It wasn't a [Am]lie, it was her [F]hope, that every[Am]thing would be f[F]ine one day
[C]He can fulfill his [Dm]every dream, I'm [E]happy as long as he's not
[F]..I [G]hate it and [A]fear can't [E]face it
The [F]child is not [G]right, he's my [A]greatest [E]shame
Go [F]out, create [G]thunder, and [A]stand right [E]under
F G A (CHANGE CAPO to 5 NOW)
That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those
[Am]Lost hopes, [F]all those [G]kind words could [C]hurt him [C/B]even [Am]more, now
[F]Somehow, [G]lost one more [C]way back [C/B]home
CAPO 4
Out [Em]on the lake, he [Bsus4]rows towards a [C]monster he should've been [Dadd11]running away from, [Asus2]years ago
The [Em]past had made him [Bsus4]blind to the [C]way he'd turned the [Dadd11]pain into a [Asus2]way of life
CAPO 2
[Am]Followed his [F]father, tucked him [Am]in, Caleb [F]knows the trade
[C]He's the [Dm]portrait of a [E]man his mother drew to hate for[Am]ever
She was a [F]beast, a deadly [Am]saint, wrong in [F]many ways
C Dm E (CHANGE CAPO to 4 NOW)
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
(TIME CHANGE 6/8)
[Em]Over the hills, under the sea, [C]fighting the will, whole Universe
[G]Why does a man [Am]driving a hearse [B]live in fear, Gift and a Curse
[F#m]Taking 'em out, taking 'em all, [D]shooting the wall, over and out
[A]When nothing moves, [Bm]all's well, a de[C#]cision he can find a way to [F#m]live with
...And dried up [D]flowers are so beautiful
And [A]it applies to [Bm]all things [C#]living, and dead
For that I serve [Em]my [Bm]time..[C]. in my [D]suite in [Em]Hell[Bm][C][D][A]
Em.. Bsus4.. C.. Dadd11

CAPO 6
Now [Em]I ring the [Bm]bell to [C]tell the [D]world
I'm [Em]ready when they [Bm]bring out the [C]soon to be [D]dead against the [Em]wall
[Bm]Oooh.[C]. This [G]nece[Am]ssary [B]evil has no [Em]hea[Bm]rt[C][G][Am][B]
[Em]Flowers and people he [C]will now enlace
A [G]price he must [Am]pay serving a [B]cold ..whateverGod
