C      Am                 F G
Skeleton frames of buildings
    C               Am           F G
Rotting out at the edge of town
C               Am                                   F              G
  An old man walking away from the bus door with his arm stretched out,
                     C            Am                F  G
acting like an old friend, or something like that

[Pre-Chorus]

  C                  Am               F G
Trash piles getting sucked up by fire
   C                Am                 F    G
Sympathy getting shoved through the phone
          C                Am                       F           G
Saying, “I might not have known the man, but listen man, I know what it's like
         C           Am            F   G
to be alone, to be alone, to be alone”

[Chorus]
  C                      Am              F           G
If you say it like you mean it, you probably don't mean it
       C              Am           F           G
If you act like you care, you probably don't give a fuck
       C            Am                F               G
My brother isn't dying, he's just locked up in an institute

[Verse 2]

     C            Am           F          G
A ride from the house, down 7-mile boulevard
         C              Am              F              G
Gets terrible like pictures, from television magazines
   C             Am               F             G          C         Am        G
Bits from the table, eating the bits from the table over again and again and again



[Pre-Chorus]

  C                  Am               F G
Trash piles getting sucked up by fire
   C                Am                 F    G
Sympathy getting shoved through the phone
          C                Am                       F           G
Saying, “I might not have known the man, but listen man, I know what it's like
         C           Am            F   G
to be alone, to be alone, to be alone”

[Chorus]

  C                      Am              F           G
If you say it like you mean it, you probably don't mean it
       C              Am           F           G
If you act like you care, you probably don't give a fuck
       C            Am                F               G
My brother isn't dying, he's just locked up in an institute

C Am F G


        F               D
Front door open of the house
            F               D
Leave the front door wide open
         F D F D
We can bring it out
          F D F D
We can bring it out
           F D F D
We can bring it back out, again

        G               Em         C D
If you say it like you mean it...
        G             Em         C D
If you act like you care...
         G               Em         C D
If you say it like you mean it...
        G               Em         C D
If you act like you care...
