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

by my family,

     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.
