[Verse 1]
F# G#m B A#m G#m
Time is just killin' me, modulated tempo

And all through the greenery, wavering sunbeams

Watch yourself, skeleton, the museum will soon find you
F# G#m B A#m G#m
Fall down the staircase, the first place you fell in love

Please don't leave me just outside the garden

Beneath all my best friends, I'll fall the hardest
[Chorus 1]

Can you see it?

The crowd just beneath us?
D#m Fm
Or is this what we wanted?
F# D#m
Somethin' more private?
Fm
[Verse 2]
F# G#m B Bm
Walking slowly past the graves of the ghosts
G#m F# G#m B A#m G#m
And it hurts most when I didn't mean to

Bleached bones, your complicated grin, do you know the trouble we're in?

Just lie down inside the drawer, don't tell me what I cannot do

Did you bring the compass? It's still my fault when we leave

I'm tired of sayin'

What's so important to me

We've fucked up the message

What's wrong with just livin' to be?
[Outro]

F# G#m B A#m G#m
Some eyes look strange to me and the people who own them
