Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Intro:
G Em C Em x2
Verse 1:
G Em
I’m setting pen to paper again,
C
Lost my sense of home,
Em
From the words that I’ve said,
G Em
But the thoughts have begun to ferment
in my head,
C
And content manifests,
Em
Don’t feel good enough for them,
G Em
so I try and transcend my ego,
But don’t we know?
C Am7
It will never work,
G Em
Maybe I’ll just descend to dirt,
C Am7
Flirt with becoming food for worms.
Chorus: One Strum For This Chorus
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
C
My mind is playing an awful trick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
I’m running from my emptiness,
C
My brain is tired, my stomachs sick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic.
Verse 2:
G Em
Why has constructing sentences become
like pulling teeth?
C
wiping dental records clean,
Em
Is this carcass even me?
G Em
Is this catharsis therapeutic plunge to
darkness?
C Em
Or elaborating, upon my mediocrity,
G Em
Maybe this is the result of me finally
accepting,
C
That I’ll be alone forever,
Em
That I deserve forgetting.
G
It’s a pointless endeavour, and maybe It’s
Em
upsetting,
C
But I’ve never felt more comfortable with
Em
the concept of things ending.
Chorus:
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
C
My mind does play an awful trick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
I’m running from my emptiness,
C
My brain is tired, my stomachs sick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic.
Interlude:
G Em C Em x2
Bridge:
G Em
Maybe this writers block that I’ve been
C
perceiving is to stop me diving deeply
Em
into my internal being,
G Em
Falling into darkness below my surface
tension,
C
Emotional suppression,
Em
My coping mechanism.
G
Cause all my friends are dying,
Em
Some faster than the others,
C
Lungs filling up with fluid,
Em
Face placed under the covers.
G
Cause all my friends are dying,
Em
Some faster than the others,
C Em
I’m trying To distract myself from the fears
that I’ve discovered.
Chorus:
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
C
My mind is playing an awful trick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
I’m running from my emptiness,
C
My brain is tired, my stomachs sick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
C
My mind is playing an awful trick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic,
G
Would anyone listen to this?
Em
I’m running from my emptiness,
C
My brain is tired, my stomachs sick,
Em
The ramblings of a lunatic.
