Intro: C Am C Am
C
Stuck in the prosthetic new wave
Am
Did I strike a single nerve'
Is your heart still beating'
C
Choke another second
Watch your mouth
Am
They're watching waiting for you
But you can't talk about it
C
Step back a second to fixate
Am
Upon a twisted observation
That brought you to your knees
C Am
Another fallacy, another waking moment of truth
F
No, you're not dead
G
No, not quite yet

This is your time

How far will you take it'
C
Well as we carry along

Daft and choking on words

Poking head in harm's way

Maybe some day I'll learn

And as we carry along
G
Broken records and promises
Am
That get in the way
F
Have me hoping some day
I'll get it right
Distracting lies that cry restraint
Hang tight another sec
Is your heart still beating'
Focused on retraction
Idle hands are washed up waiting for you
No second thought about it
Remembering all that you taught me
Provoked a numbing realization
That brought me to my feet
The only one who'll make you sorry
Is the one that's stuck in your shoes
And it's you
No, you're not dead
No, not quite yet
This is our time
How far will you take it'
Well as we carry along
Daft and choking on words
Poking head in harm's way
Maybe some day I'll learn
And as we carry along
Broken records and promises
That get in the way
Have me hoping some day
I'll get it right

Have me hoping some day
I'll get it right

Yeah, I'll get it right
