[Verse 1]
           D
It was how Dave said "us" like the last three years had never happened
           D             Em             A             Bm              
It was how George walked down and threw dirt onto the casket
           D      Em              A           Bm
It was how I know you would want this to be a fast one
    A            B   D
And not some cliché ballad

[Bridge]
             A B         C#       B
I'm slowing down in the August air
        A                 B      C#            B
A heavy heart and shaking hands carried you up here
         A  B      C#          B
I buried half of a decade there
            A
It was the better part
       B
You'd catch the reference
    C#
If only you could hear

[Verse 2]       
        D            Em     A       B               D          Em        A         B
Because I can still hear you in the bass drum beat after "I'll Catch You" I'm left wondering if 
D         Em            A         B
You meant anything when you typed out
     A             B       D
"You never got me down, Ray. I never went down"

(You know the fucked up part is)I kind of always knew we'd have to write a song about this
              A               B           C#                       B
(You know the fucked up part is) I had my fingers crossed that it wouldn't be for you, kid
               A                           B                         C#
(You know the fucked up part is) It's been months, and I still have nightmares 
                                      B
(You know the fucked up part is) I'm never going back there
                A                      B
(You know the fucked up part is) The fucked up part is
               C#                      B
(You know the fucked up part is) The fucked up part is
  A
(Fuck)
