Abm
I looked, I looked up to the sky
Your face was drawn in black and white
Tonight, were stuck inside a lie
And the fear is we wont get out alive
B Bbm Abm
The stink, its in the air
B Bbm Abm
And the air, its getting thin

As fast as you can run?

And where you going

Do you hide it behind the sun?

Stay down low
E
And stay down where you are

And where you going

The truth, oh, weve turned into a joke
And its true, Id give anything to hold you
Tonight, tonight I stay
But you, oh, you slip away

And where you going
E
Do you hide it behind the sun?

Is it better than here?

I trip, trip, trip in vain
And lie, lie, lie to me
I trip, trip, trip in vain
Id like to get away
You like it like you do
Id like to be with you
Id like to live up there
But I wake up oh, I wake up
E
And I wake up, and I wake up
And I am here
B Bbm Abm
Tonight, I'm stuck here
B Bbm Abm
And tomorrow I, I disappear
And where you going
As fast as you can run?

Do you hide it behind the sun?
