Madelyn,
                           A
I share your hate for this world we're in 
                  B#m
but it makes me a better man. 
                        G
It's an excuse that you make. 
D
Madelyn,
                           A
I know you want to let the bottles in.
                              B#m
I know you think that they're all your friends.
                               G
They're lying straight to your face.
      Em
And I know
          A             G
about the devil in your bloodstream.
      Em   
And I know
         A                  G
that the ghosts still visit nightly.
Em
And I know
            A             G          
it must get lonely by the Chesapeake.

F#m      Em

D
Madelyn,
               A
are you really afraid of death
               B#m
or do you just say it if
                        G
it's the right thing to say?
D
Madelyn,
                             A
I know you're safe where you lay your head,
                     B#m
but if you wanted to come back,
                           G
I've got a place you could stay.
Em
If I'm not
      A
doing right
      G
     Em
then what's
    A           G
the point of it anyway? 
        F#m
        Em
Of this anyway?
                        D
I don't think there's a god.
                           A
I don't think that there's someone coming to save us
      B#m                                      G
and I don't think that's the worst news of the day.
                        D
I don't think there's a god.
                           A
I don't think that there's someone coming to save me
      B#m                                      G
and I don't think that's the worst news of the day.
D
Madelyn,
                A
I know how your cold scars turn purple.
               B#m
I know how the Irish goodbyes feel.
                    G
I know where you've been
    D
and Madelyn,
                   A
you and I got this East Coast blood between us.
     B#m
It's bitter and vitriolic.
              G
I know how it ends.
       Em        A           G
If I'm not doing right by my family.
          Em        A        G(Hold)
well, I'm not doing right by family.
