C# D#m F# C# G#
Well, I've wasted so much time I've heard the birds fly south and back before my eyes could take a look...
C# D#m F# C# G#
And my head's stuck between the notes and not the numbers and slumber to the thought of reading books.
D#m
I just wanna sit beneath
F#
All her comfort and belief.
C#
Because the moon's got claws
G#
And I don't wanna go to sleep.
D#m
She'll always be my excuse
F#
For a neverending use
C#
Of helping me sit down
G#
To find my thoughts in the lost and found
D#m F#
Cuz the moon's got claws,
F#
And she's got me in her reach.
C# G# (4x)
C# D#m F# C# G#
Well, it was Friday.
And I planned out what to do
I was to get myself ahead
And not look back...
Now its Sunday, and I didn't do
Jack shit... I sat around and
Just felt sorry for myself.

I just wanna sit beneath
F#
All her comfort and belief.

All day and night when I can't sleep...
C# F#
Cuz I'm lost at seventeen,
C# F#
Already tired of being tired.
C# F#
There's a line for fools like me,
C# F#
But "their" brain-style is required

Cuz the moon keeps me from slipping out of reach.
