C
 Didn’t hallucinate, it wasn’t strange
Em
 Inside the lines I drew, been staying in my lane
C
 Wasn’t assigned to me, I’m not to blame
Em
Brown bottles of Jameson, grey ashes in a tray I put out

[Chorus]
C
 Got cancer sick, got on a plane
Em
Visited the Vatican to watch the pontiff wave
           Ab                                   Fm
And he say, “Benedicente, benedicente, benedicente"
                 C
On a long hot Sunday

[Part II: Agotante]

[Verse 2]
C
 Got to get out of here, I can’t remain
Em
Limbs, they hang like chandeliers from alcohol and age
C
 Down in the weeds again, tough to explain
Em
Mattress soaked in gasoline makes iridescent flames, I lay down

[Chorus]
C
 I’ll ask my love, what will she say?
Em
What’s it like to live with me here every fucking day?
              Ab                           Fm
But she stays; “Agotante, agotante, agotante”
                    C
In her most gentle way

[Bridge]
Fm                              C
 Still think of New York every time
Fm                             C                  G
 I see your face now, it just feels like another life
    C   Gm           Ab        Fm
I’m up late with an imaginary pain
  C                 Gm
Always did come in waves
           Ab                           Fm             C
All that’s constant is, constant is, constant is that change

[Solo]
C Em Am Ab

[Part III: Éphémère]

[Verse 3]
C
 Just grab the kids real quick, can’t start the car
Em
Fading like a photograph, your taillights in the dark
C
 There’s nothing left no more to tear apart
Em
Agonies are infinite and sympathies just aren’t, they run out

[Chorus]
C
 I’ve seen that void, tried not to stare
        Em
There’s bodies in the Bataclan, there’s music in the air
              Ab                                  Fm
And they sing, “Éphémère, éphémère, éphémère, éphémère”
                     C
And “Wish You Were Here”

[Bridge]
Fm                                  C
 Enough blood to fill up this fish bowl
Fm                                      C                      G
 Keep swimming around, the exit’s blocked, there’s nowhere to go
           C    Gm   Ab          Fm
All these same fears year after year
        C              Gm
All the old ones reappear
     Ab                              Fm                       C
Only difference is, difference is, difference is, you’re not here
