Key: F#

Intro:
 
F#
 
Verse:
 
               F#m
I'm afraid to die
                    E
So afraid that I'll find myself
B                    F#
Searching for a double
               F#m
Flipping every stone
                E
Reading chicken bones
B                   F#
Anything for meaning
              F#m
So delayed am I
                  E
To repair my mind all this mess
    B                      F#
And nothing left to prove it
              F#m
Feeling sorry for
                E
All the moments that I
B                  F#
Only went and blew it

Chorus:
 
                        G#m
Maybe this could be the moment
       B                    F#   E F#
When I open, let in all the light
                      G#m
Maybe I could start a movement
     B                     F#
To reduce the tragedies of life
 
 
Verse 2:
 
             F#m
A brigade of eyes
                    E
All the ways that I find myself
B                 F#
Looking not seeing
               F#m
Down to skin unsewn
             E
No disarming tones
B                    F#
Freak but I'm grinnin'
 
 
Chorus 2:
 
                        G#m
Maybe this could be the moment
       B                    F#   E F#
When I open, let in all the light
                      G#m
Maybe I could start a movement
     B                     F#
To reduce the tragedies of life
 
 
Bridge:
 
           E                  B
Or maybe I should settle down
                     F#
And give the world a break
              F#m
I'm afraid to die
                    E
So afraid that I'll find myself
B               F#
Searching for a double
