G                       Em
These baby secrets have grown into children
        C                     D
through dirty adolescence and now into manhood
Am                   C                                D        
I locked the basement door, broke off the skeleton key
G                         Em                          
but it made no difference still they travel with me 
C                          D
even though I killed them they'll haunt me and they'll help me
Am                       C                  D
remember the lies in the shadows, practiced charades
   Am           C                   D
my hands are an axe chopping at the roots
       Am          C                         D
of the only family tree that could ever bear fruit
   Am             C                  Em         D
to cripple you to make sure that you never reproduce
        Am               C                D
another heart of lies, a house of haunted rooms 
    C        D        Em      D                C           
the arrow is thrown into your back nothing has ever been
   Am    C     Bm  D
so distant and weak
C       D               Em        D            C              
dreaded words whispered under her breath "your just like your father"
         D     Em           D  Em      D     Em           D  Em   G
and your ocean is a drop of water your ocean is a drop of water 


G                       Em
tightly woven wire mesh beneath the broken 
 C                       D
salesman as he's rolling down the conveyer belt
    Am                C                           D  
the product is almost ready to be shipped out the door
G                  Em 
out into the world to make a living 
C                        D
selling plastic faces to everyone who needs em
Am                        C                      D
to forget the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades
    Am         C                     D  
the enemy will make sure the ties on straight
           Am             C                     D
cause it's always best to make an impression of wealth
   Am              C                  Em                  D
no matter how much hatred and debt is boiling beneath the surface
    Am                   C              D
"I love you" spills like vomit from her lips
    C        D        Em      D                C           
the arrow is thrown into your back nothing has ever been

so distant and weak
C       D               Em        D            C              
dreaded words whispered under her breath "your just like your father"
         D     Em           D  Em      D     Em           D  Em   G
and your ocean is a drop of water your ocean is a drop of water 
G    Em    C   D
water

Am                    C                            D        
I locked the basement door, broke off the skeleton key
G    Em    C   D
water
Am                     C                     D
forget the lies in the shadows, don't forget me
