♫ Verse 1:
F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m  Dmaj7Dmaj7
I’ve got a bloodshot eye upon the night
F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m      Dmaj7Dmaj7
Sunlight and fog and all the certainties of time
B minorBm       F# minorF#m      A augmentedA    E MajorE
This ship of Theseus with structural integrity
B minorBm       F# minorF#m   A augmentedA           E MajorE
My pieces fall apart
I don’t know what will become of me

♫ Verse 2:
F# minorF#m          C# minorC#m       Dmaj7Dmaj7
Digging through old journals just to find out how I feel
F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m     Dmaj7Dmaj7
Like I can’t remember what determines if I’m real
B minorBm       F# minorF#m       A augmentedA        E MajorE
A augmentedA veteran multitool, the stories that I left behind
B minorBm       F# minorF#m       A augmentedA       E MajorE
Each breath I’ve lost is just exhaust for the beating heart inside

Dmaj7Dmaj7        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
I don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Dmaj7Dmaj7        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
I don’t wanna waste my time pretending that I’m fine
D MajorD                    B minorBm
When there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie

♫ Verse 3:
F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m          Dmaj7Dmaj7
Damp cold, the road pulls winter’s coat on sleeve by sleeve
F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m        Dmaj7Dmaj7
Pain carves the tracks of all the evil in my dreams
B minorBm       F# minorF#m       A augmentedA           E MajorE
When I park at stations, all I see are stranger’s eyes on me
B minorBm      F# minorF#m      A augmentedA        E MajorE
I wonder when my racing thoughts will ever let me sleep

Dmaj7Dmaj7        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
I don’t wanna waste my time pretending that I’m fine
D MajorD                    B minorBm
When there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie

♫ Bridge:
D MajorD   F# minorF#m       A augmentedA        E MajorE
And I admit, the couch I sit in does accommodate
D MajorD       F# minorF#m       A augmentedA       E MajorE
The feeling grates
I hate the way it hefts my weight
D MajorD           F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
And you, on the other side, your eyes like knives
E MajorE      D MajorD
You carve the complex of my mind into simple terms
B minorBm
As if that’s what I’m worth

Dmaj7Dmaj7        F# minorF#m   E MajorE
I don’t wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
Dmaj7Dmaj7        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
I don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Dmaj7Dmaj7        F# minorF#m   E MajorE
I don’t wanna waste my time letting the dust pile up
Dmaj7Dmaj7        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
I don’t wanna waste my time pretending that I’m fine
D MajorD                    B minorBm
