The Final Hallelujah

Plucking my guitar, all I hear is weeping
Bullet through your head, bullet through my heart
Started out so sweet, life can make you sour
The hallway in our home, that stretched out for forever

Sat behind you while in class
Stolen sentences and [Bm]laughs
I once knew you [A7more than that
Set the table, serve your lunch
Have a seat, the only one
In the cafeteria

You talk to [C7]the world, you [A7hold up a boulder
Keep on [C7]looking at the demon [C7]on [C7]your shoulder
I sent up a prayer under neon [C7]lights
Dragging through the stɾeets, the final hallelujah

You and [Bm]I got [Fm7]in the car
Hit the gas and [Bm]drove so far
To the middle of nowhere
Searching for [Dm7]answers in the wind
Blowing on [C7]my [A]naked skin
In the juniper forest

Clutch the handle of a locked cathedral door
Survey the Sistine, vandalize the ceiling
Stories can be [Am]cruel, omit what isn't needed
Will we die of thirst, seeking the idyllic?
