Intro:

Cadd9  (x4)

Em  D/F#  (x4)


Verse:
Em            D/F#
Vacate is the word
Em               D/F#
Vengeance has no place so near to her
Em              D/F#            Em     D/F#
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Em         D/F#
Artificial tear
Em              D/F#
Vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers
Em          D/F#           Em     D/F#
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere


Chorus:

  C            Em        
A truant finds home and a 
C            Em
Wish to hold on but there's a 
C           Em  A
Trapdoor in the sun        immortality


Interlude:

Em   D/F#   (x4)


Verse:

   Em              D/F#
As privileged as a whore
Em           D/F#
Victims in demand for public show
Em                    D/F#               Em      D/F#
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Em          D/F#
Holier than thou, how 
Em              D/F#
Surrendered, executed, anyhow
Em                D/F#             Em     D/F#
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor


  C            Em
A truant finds home and I 
C            Em
Wish to hold on, too, but saw the 
C           Em  A
Trapdoor in the sun

A
       Immortality


Em  D/F#   Em   D/F#



Verse:

  Em              D/F#
I cannot stop the thought of 
Em             D/F#
Running in the dark
Em          D/F#
Coming up a which way sign
Em                D/F#
All good truants must decide


Chorus:

   C                 Em
Oh stripped and sold mom
C             Em
Auctioned forearm and 
C           Em  A
Whiskers in the sink
C            Em
Truants move on
C           Em
Cannot stay long
C             Em A
Some die just to live


Outro:

A
