Verse 1

And all that I wanted for christmas is to be told that u loved me

part of me knows that u need it but cant say it and

I don’t know why but im lonely on all these long drives

cause were always fucking

but u never tell me why.

Bridge

[rhythm change for bridge.palm muted]

Chorus 1

So I plan to leave dry land and never set foot on it again

sail until I meet the worlds end

and I wont be frightened of all the creatures that threaten

my fragile hull from the deep

and all the dark corners and all the dark bedrooms in both of our eyes.

[play like bridge with palm mutes]

Verse 2

I will give my life for a moment of silence

I know my family hears me singin my sad and simple songs

and I hope they will carry me

like a ship over oceans of tired and blurried eyes boys

and girls who will listen

and understand I am sorry

that I cannot give them anything anything more.

[faster]

Chorus 2

I will leave the dark

follow this compass that you gave me

feel like Columbus out to discover our new land

you said that u wanted to plant a garden

it could be our eden you said

Chorus 3

and I will play captain

stare at the future through my looking glass as we fall

off of the corners of all the maps

and tattoos on my arm are proud like a sailors

and this lump in my throat is from the cold

and the artic not because

I miss you now.

Bridge 2[still fast like the last two choruses with electric over top doing the same chords]

End with verse 2
