Standard (EADGBE)

there's a sunday school four blocks away from you,

 and it's all we ever do

skip rocks across the lawn to sidestep what we've become

 and the stupid things we've done.

but there's a stained-glass scene of the nativity

 looking down on everyone:

eyes wide and cauterized, smoke-screened and burglarized

 burning holes through you and me.

 if we're never gonna be this

innocent again, then why pretend?

i'm through digging through the words i caught by accident from you

 cuz if there's something left to lose

 then there's nothing left to prove

 to the church doors, the chapel steps

 and the sunday schools.

Solo

(same chords over it)

there's a part of you pinpricked and painted blue,

 bullet-holed and broken through,

sunburned by window glass,covered up by all that's passed,

beaten down and shuttered fast.

beaten down and shuttered fast.

i'm through digging through the words i caught by accident from you,

 cuz if there's something left to lose

 then there's nothing left to prove

 to the church doors, the chapel steps

 and the sunday schools.

 to anyone, to me, to you.

 to anyone, to me, to you.

there's a sunday school four blocks away from you,

 and it's all we ever do
