Intro: F#m, E, F#m, D, A, Fm, A, F#m, E
                         F#m
They tried to keep their arms 'round us
                    A
They told us it was free
                       F#m
Their coffee and their crucifixions burned
                      E    D
Put scars on both our knees
                      F#m
That wishful drinking summer
                            A
So sweet and sinful you and me
                    F#m
Rolling 'round your parents hardwood floor
                        E            D
Getting high out in the heat you and me
         E                  Fm
You were lonely and I had a song
     D               A
They told you we did wrong
       D                  A                 E
And we hung there on that cross in your old room
F#m
   I lost faith you were trying to believe (x2)
E
   I lost faith you were trying to believe
           F#m                       D      A  F#m A F#m E
I play the memory in my head like a symphony
                   F#m
I tried to keep my arms 'round you
                     A
In the end it wasn't me
             F#m
The pharmacy receipt with shaky hands
                     E    D
Was all you'd really need
                  F#m
To scare you into praying
                     A
To put your heart in retreat
                   F#m
All that faith and fear came racing back
                    E     D
Brought you to your knees
       E                F#m
It was lonely but I got along
D                    A
Singing these ragged songs
     D               A             E
But lately I've been at a loss for words
F#m
  Lost faith but I'm trying to believe (x2)
E
   I lost faith but I'm trying to believe
           F#m                       D        A
I play the memory in my head like a symphony
A          E   Fm D
  Hey-heyeiee
          E               F#m
When it's lonely I'll get along
D                    A
Singing these ragged songs
  D              A          E      E
I pray you don't confuse my words - my words
A
  I lost faith but I'm trying to believe (x2)
E
   I lost faith but I'm trying to believe
           F#m                       D
I play the memory in my head like a symphony
A
  I lost faith but I'm trying to believe (x2)
E
   I lost faith but I'm trying to believe
           F#m                       D
I play the memory in my head like a
      A                  F#m
They tried to keep their arms 'round us
                     A
In the end it wasn't me
