Funeral Post

Dm    Bb    C (2x)


[Verse 1]

C            Dm
It's never enough

You know
                          Bb
The space you crowd feels bigger
                                C
Apart from the things you won't show
                  Dm
Stayed stuck in a pose

You're posing, you baby
               Bb                          C
Metabolize the poison if you choke it down slow


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Bb
Dug a hole to place a post
     C
Your picture's on my wall
      Am                   Bb
But I cannot remember your face
                     C
Though I, I wish you well
              Am        Bb
I need you to leave me alone


[Chorus 1]

F                                  Am
Better to bide my time and take it slow
       Dm                                 Bb
Vetted sick has a face that is calling my name
F                                 Am
Better to bite my lip and say no more
           Dm                                 Bb
Because I promise I'll never believe what you promised
                        Dm
I need you to leave me alone


[Pre-Verse]

Dm    Bb    C


[Verse 2]

C                Dm
Take more than enough

You go
                         Bb
Unpack your shit, you're making a mess
                                     C
It's the coils in the stacks, with a wrack and the knots in the chords
                    Dm
Stayed stuck with a rash

You itch till it's bleeding
                Bb
Internalize the noise

Until it's all that you know
                 C
It's more than a map

It's a gift from the past


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Bb
Dig the grave

The post remains
  C
I missed the funeral
      Am                        Bb
But I hope that you had a great show
                     C
Though I, I wish you well
               Am                    Bb
I need you to, need you to leave me alone


[Chorus 2]

F                                  Am
Better to bide my time and take it slow
       Dm                                 Bb
Vetted sick has a face that is calling my name
F                                 Am
Better to bite my lip and say no more
           Dm                                 Bb
Because I promise I'll never believe what you promised
                        Dm
I need you to leave me alone


[Bridge]

Dm
Do this:

Take a breath and hold me
                          Bb
I can finally recognize myself
                   Am
Even if I am invisible
Dm
You don't get to ever hold me back

Accept the roses
        Bb
Take it slow
                          Am
This is our final curtain call


[Pre-Chorus 3]

F                                  Am
Better to bide my time and take it slow
       Dm                                  Bb     C
Vetted sick has a face and it's calling my name


[Chorus 3]

F#                                 A#m
Better to bide my time and take it slow
       D#m                                B Bm
Vetted sick has a face that is calling my n-ame
F#                                A#m
Better to bite my lip and say no more
          D#m                                 B
Because I promise I'll never believe what you promised
