[Intro 1]
[G][C]
[G][Bm][Em]
[C][D][G][Em]
[C][G][Bm][Em]
[C][D]
[G][Bm][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
My world [C]astir and [Bm]sickly
Spits out [Em]our voices s[C]inging
"Tra la la la" [D]on high [Bm]now
To [Em]kingdom come so [C]slightly
Herein a void in your [Bm]place[G]
[Bm]I twitch and [Em]tweak in [C]allusion
To sit and stare [D]so [Bm]blankly
Until all [Em]hope is used up

[Verse 2]
[C]Why do I al [G]ways nee[Bm]d to [D]need
you when you're fleeting?
[C]Where do you go [G]when I'm aro[Bm]und?[D]
[C]What have I don[G]e,
what [D]have I lost that's so defeating?
[C]And have the nerve to [G]wear a cro[D]wn?
Oh [C]na na na [G]na na na
[D]Hey[C] hey hey[D] he[Bm]y[Em]

[Verse 3]
In some dark [C]room
A smoky figure fill[G]s me full
[Bm]Makes my h[Em]ead swell in ruin[C]
My fam[D]ily kneels at their pew
[Bm]They nod, "We beli[Em]eve in
What you're do[C]ing"
I feel it rise above [G]me[Bm]
The western land[Em]scapes [C]towering
And from my shell [D]of a [Bm]body[Em][C][G]
[D]The [C]flo[G]wer[Bm]s[D][C][G]
blos[D]som [C]for[G][D][C]
[G]pick[D][C][D]
[Bm]ing[Em][C][G][D][C][D]
[Bm]
[Em]I've waite[D]d and wait[C]ed
For someone to take [G]it[C]
[G]Don't fight [C]it, don't [G]bother
An inch for another
Don't listen
[C]Don't hear them
[G]They're in [C]this together[G]
I've learned well
Now hear me
There's much to be fearing
I'm used [D]to your [G]absence
Your faceless dis[D]tractions
I've [C]painted your patterns
But found them attractive
Now I've [G]been leaning towards
A life [D]far more candid
[C]Though lead through the dark
With your [D]eyes as my candles
Where [Bm]your life
And my life's dir[Em]ections
Can wrangle
And [C]all of a sudden
You've left me to handle
The [G]reasons that never
Forbid me to [D]stand [C]tall
And somehow or somewhere
I [D]found out the [Bm]secret
To staying alive
[G]Without [Em]actually breathing
