[Intro]
G Em
 
then
G Em G Em D A
 
[Verse 1]
Bm
I’ve been lost in fear and
G
loathing on a bathroom tile
D
floor Holding fistfuls of
A G
my blood barely together
Bm
And for a moment it had
G
seemed like to die was
just to dream And to
D A
live after tonight
G
would be a nightmare
 
[Verse 2]
Bm
And in the mirror
I could see an older
G
man stare back at me
D
With drinks and crushed
A
up pills like some failed
G Bm
science He seemed to say
without a voice that his
G
future was a choice And
D
the truth will all at
A G
once become apparent
 
[Chorus 1] Instrumental
D Bm A F#m
 
[Verse 3]
Bm
Won’t you be the liberator
G
to this overactive brain?
D
Because I’ve been struggling
A
to feel out what these
G Bm
thoughts mean I’m a stumbling
G
narcoleptic fingers grasped
 
to hearts of glass And in
D A
a bed of shards I’ll fall
G
right into good dreams
 
[Chorus 2]
Bm A/C#
Where life would stand so
D Em
still And for a moment
we are free Restless
G
souls flown from the sea
Bm A/C# D
One day I will Steal the
Em
traction from the ether
G A
Walk right into everything
D D
I want to be
 
[Chorus 3]
D
And when my bones
are laid into the
Bm
ground some day I hope
A
to hell I had the guts
G
to tell you everything
D
And when my bones are laid
Bm
into the ground some day
A
I hope to hell that you
G
and I'd seen everything
 
[Verse 4]
Bm
Because I’ve been lovesick lost
G
and lonely on the wrong side of
D
the world In a decade strong
A G
of suffering in silence
Bm
And when this town paints me a
G
cynic, I guess that’s just what
D
I’ll be Because there’s no better
A G
hope left in this idle city
 
[Outro]
G Em G Em D A Bm
