Intro:

F#m  C#m Dmaj7
F#m  C#m Dmaj7Verse 1:
F#m             C#m    Dmaj7
I’ve got a bloodshot eye upon the night
F#m            C#m            Dmaj7
Sunlight and fog and all the certainties of time
Bm             F#m            A        E
This ship of Theseus with structural integrity
Bm              F#m     A                     E
My pieces fall apart
I don’t know what will become of me

Verse 2:
F#m                    C#m             Dmaj7
Digging through old journals just to find out how I feel
F#m             C#m          Dmaj7
Like I can’t remember what determines if I’m real
Bm             F#m              A                E
A veteran multitool, the stories that I left behind
Bm             F#m              A              E
Each breath I’ve lost is just exhaust for the beating heart inside

♫ Chorus:
Dmaj7                F#m     E
I don’t wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
Dmaj7                F#m                    E
I don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Dmaj7                F#m                    E
I don’t wanna waste my time pretending that I’m fine
D                                        Bm
When there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie

♫ Verse 3:
F#m           C#m                    Dmaj7
Damp cold, the road pulls winter’s coat on sleeve by sleeve
F#m           C#m               Dmaj7
Pain carves the tracks of all the evil in my dreams
Bm             F#m              A                     E
When I park at stations, all I see are stranger’s eyes on me
Bm            F#m           A               E
I wonder when my racing thoughts will ever let me sleep

♫ Chorus:
Dmaj7                F#m     E
I don’t wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
Dmaj7                F#m                    E
I don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Dmaj7                F#m                    E
I don’t wanna waste my time pretending that I’m fine
D                                        Bm
When there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie

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

♫ Chorus:
Dmaj7                F#m     E
I don’t wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
Dmaj7                F#m                    E
I don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
Dmaj7                F#m     E
I don’t wanna waste my time letting the dust pile up
Dmaj7                F#m                    E
I don’t wanna waste my time pretending that I’m fine
D                                        Bm
When there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie

♫ Outro:
F#m  C#m Dmaj7
F#m  C#m Dmaj7
