Em
Such a wonderful life when it's weighing you down
C
Are you in control?
Em
The suburban reign always stays the same
C Am D
Like the hollow smile cracking up your face
G D Em
Take your battered soul, wear it as a crown
C
All that numbs you
G D Em
Run a thousand miles, 'till you hit the ground
C
All that numbs you now
G D Em
And days roll into one and the same on you
C G D E
The world revolving around your spinning head
Em
Make the fences high
C
Make the blinds go down on the world outside
Em
Maybe the day will come
C
When you wake up not feeling anything
Am D
No more tears and no more pain
G D Em
Take your bleeding heart, wear it on your sleeve
C
All that numbs you
G D Em
Stare into the sun, the blind relief
C
All that numbs you now
G D Em
As the years roll into one, only numbers change
C G D E
The world revolving around your spinning head
G D E
The world revolving around your spinning head
G D E
The world revolving around your spinning head
G D Em
Take your battered soul, wear it as a crown
C
All that numbs you
G D Em
Stare into the sun, the blind relief
C
All that numbs you now
G D Em
As the years roll into one, only numbers change
