I'm shutting off the news
C G
I stretch myself so thin in my own world
C G
Communication blues
C G
Communication blues
C G
And when you call, when you call
C G
I don't think that I'm safe at all
C G
Because you know how to get me
C G
Running back to places I've gotten past
Am G C
Where the shock value cynic's talking way too deep
Am G C
Now able body around, they're all getting sleep
Am G C
And I'm over
Am G C (Intro riff)
Yeah, it took me over
Same chords throughout the rest of the song
In paradise I lost
Can't really where I'd rather be
I take it one means two
Communication blues
And when you call, when you call
I don't think that I'm safe at all
Because you know how to get me
Running back to places I've gotten past
Where the shock value cynic's talking way too deep
No able body around, they're all getting sleep
And I'm over
Yeah, it took me over
When you call, when you call
I don't think that I'm safe at all
Because you know how to get me
Running back to places I've gotten past
Where the shock value cynic's talking way too deep
No able body around, they're all getting sleep
And I'm over
Yeah, it took me over
Yeah, it took me over
And it took me over
