[Verse 1]
 
E
 Rain on the roof of your parked car
G#m
 Sam, I was fucking afraid
           C#m
I bit the ulcer on my tongue
B                               A       Am
 And spilled my guts in your driveway
E
  I've been hollow for so long
G#m
 I figured that's how I'd stay
         C#m                  B                     A       Am
No one's seen me without my clothes on in almost a decade
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           E
You said, "Hold on, the wound is gonna mend
              G#m
And when it's all gone, I'll write in wet cement
           A
In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off
    B
I'm with you till the bitter end"

[Verse 2]
 
E
 I called a club in the village
G#m
 Booked us a three night stick
            C#m           B                   A      Am
But if you told me to go fuck myself then I get it
E
  Eric said that he'd fly out
G#m
 If I could clean up my shit
         C#m              B
I can't lose you guys again
                        A       Am
I swear that I'm gonna fix it
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           E
You said, "Hold on, the wound is gonna mend
              G#m
And when it's all gone, I'll write in wet cement
           A
In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off
    B
I'm with you till the bitter end
E
Hold on, the wound is gonna mend
              G#m
And when it's all gone, I'll write in wet cement
           A
In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off
    B
I'm with you till the bitter end"
 
 
[Bridge]
 
E*
  Box fan sings in your window
G#m*
 You keep averting your gaze
              C#m*             B*
Bought you a notebook and a hoodie
                           A*        Am*
I know that I missed your birthday
E*
 And this time sorry don't cut it
G#m*
 All I can give you is space
          C#m*           B*                                     A*
But this next year's a leap year so there's time when you're ready
            Am*
Are you ready?

[Chorus]
 
           E
You said, "Hold on, the wound is gonna mend
              G#m
And when it's all gone, I'll write in wet cement
           A
In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off
    B
I'm with you till the bitter end
E
Hold on, the wound is gonna mend
              G#m
And when it's all gone, I'll write in wet cement
           A
In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off
    B
I'm with you till the bitter end
E
Hold on, the wound is gonna mend
              G#m
And when it's all gone, I'll write in wet cement
           A
In lieu of flowers, shake the dirt off
    B
I'm with you till the bitter end"
