Tom: C
C Am F G
Skeleton frames of buildings
C Am F G
Rotting out at the edge of town
C Am F G
An old man walking away from the bus door with his arm stretched out,
C Am F G
acting like an old friend, or something like that
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am F G
Trash piles getting sucked up by fire
C Am F G
Sympathy getting shoved through the phone
C Am F G
Saying, “I might not have known the man, but listen man, I know what it's like
C Am F G
to be alone, to be alone, to be alone”
[Chorus]
C Am F G
If you say it like you mean it, you probably don't mean it
C Am F G
If you act like you care, you probably don't give a fuck
C Am F G
My brother isn't dying, he's just locked up in an institute
[Verse 2]
C Am F G
A ride from the house, down 7-mile boulevard
C Am F G
Gets terrible like pictures, from television magazines
C Am F G C Am G
Bits from the table, eating the bits from the table over again and again and again
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am F G
Trash piles getting sucked up by fire
C Am F G
Sympathy getting shoved through the phone
C Am F G
Saying, “I might not have known the man, but listen man, I know what it's like
C Am F G
to be alone, to be alone, to be alone”
[Chorus]
C Am F G
If you say it like you mean it, you probably don't mean it
C Am F G
If you act like you care, you probably don't give a fuck
C Am F G
My brother isn't dying, he's just locked up in an institute
C Am F G

Front door open of the house
F D
Leave the front door wide open
F D F D
We can bring it out
F D F D
We can bring it out
F D F D
We can bring it back out, again
