'Cause I'm so scared of inauthentic
C#
I've just not been sayin' anything
And I'm sick of sanding down my edges
F# C#
To make this cross a crucifix
A#m7 G#sus4
For only God knows and my voice notes
C#
All the things I really think
[Refrain]
A#m7 C#
So hold on to your hats
F# C#
Hold on to your hearts
A#m7 G#sus4
We're gonna lie in the dirt
F# C#
But we'll stare at the stars
A#m7 C#
And you might read some regress
But I've none, or I quit
A#m7 G#sus4
So if faith is a fight
F#sus2
I'm gonna win
[Outro]
