[Verse 1]
Em
We share the same frustration,
Am
Nobody's forcing us to stay,
Em
This world is over rated,
Am
I just can't look the other way.
[Verse 2]
Em
Now I could be mistaken,
Am Em
Too quick to catch the sleight of hand,
Am
Can't catch the sleight of hand,
Em
Can't catch the sleight of hand,
Am D B7
Can't catch the sleight of ha-a-a-a-a-a-and.
[Chorus 1]
Em
Gotta let it go before I blow,
Am
Before blow,
Em
Gotta let it go before I blow,
Am Am6
Ay ay ay ay ay aay.
[Verse 3]
Em
I sense my hesitation,
Am
Sit back and ponder what to do,
Em
I think that I'm mistaken,
Am
Can't win if you're too afraid to lose.
[Verse 4]
Em
It's all still stimulating,
Am Em
Can't shake these circulating blues,
Am
These circulating blues,
Em
You know the ones so hard to lose,
Am D B7
These circulating blu-u-u-u-u-u-ues.
[Chorus 1]
Em
Gotta let it go before I blow,
Am
Before blow,
Em
Gotta let it go before I blow,
Am Am6
Ay ay ay ay ay aay.
[Interlude]
Em
Ay ay ay ay ay aay,
Am
He he he he he hee,
Em
Eh eh eh eh eh eeh,
Am Am6
Eh eh eh eh eh eeh.

[Verse 5]
Em Am
I'm gonna push the sky with all my might,
Em
Fall flat on my face and feel delight,
Am
I'll suck you dry of all your pain,
Am
Spit out the good parts and swallow shame.
[Verse 6]
Em
I'm gonna end up somewhere I never intended,
Am
Scribbling a letter to no one and never send it,
Em
Keep a diary and share all my secrets,
Am Em
Scold my friends politely to whisper when they scream it.
[Chorus 2]
Am
Build a wall into the ground,
D
Put it back together upside down,
B7
Circle the square for the rest of my life,
Em Am
Stab me with a gun man I'll shoot you with a knife, yeah.
Em
I’ll paint a song absent of words,
Am Am
Ask you what you thought about a part you never heard.
[Outro]
Em
Be born a machine, steal someone’s soul,
Am
Die and go to heaven, come back a ghoul,
Em
Empty my pockets and fill them with air,
Am
Get incredibly frustrated and still never care,
Em Am
Can't catch the sleight of hand.
Em
Can't catch the sleight of hand,
Am
Can't catch the sleight of ha-and.
