C Gsus Am Am7
[Verse 1]
C Gsus Am Am7
It seems that when I'm busy I always find myself trying to stop
C Gsus Am Am7
And it seems that when there's nothing nothing else left in the sweat shop
C Gsus Am Am7
I wonder what's the purpose of my beating heart, while I check my phone
C Gsus Am Am7
Is there really nothing to it? I can progress from the comfort of my home?
[Verse 2]
C Gsus Am Am7
It seems that when I'm online, all the world is telling me to knock it off
C Gsus Am Am7
And it seems that when I'm outside everyone is judging every cough
C Gsus Am Am7
Can I be alone for once? I scream into this house that's filled with ghosts
C Gsus Am Am7
Well I never feel alone, the specters of my peers dead eyes are cold
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Shining bright rectangle make my heart beat fast tonight

The fire is done spreading, are we okay with living in the flames?

Well, I never thought id hate a world where everything is turned into a game
[Verse 4]
C Gsus Am Am7
Now I'm always losing money, I'm always losing to the temptation
C Gsus Am Am7
Of seeing what your doing everyone is always having so much fun
C Gsus Am Am7
Why do we decide to lie to these tiny glowing pocket stars

With so much information I have come to the conclusion that being sad is hard

...two, three, four
C Gsus Am Am7
Coded compact calculators currently coerce and fill my hands
C Gsus Am Am7
Dark digital dictionary what's the definition of success
C Gsus Am Am7
Please provide examples, or maybe just a quick tutorial
C Gsus F G
You taught me how to play guitar, maybe you can teach me to how to make life less dull
