Intro:
E MajorE B/Eb E MajorE B/Eb E MajorE B/Eb G# minorG#m F#F#


verse 1:
     C# minorC#m BB  C# minorC#m
From the top down  you're
    BB
in the center of an
 C# minorC#m    BB
accumulating pressure
       G# minorG#m
You did your best to
    F#F#
just forget that you
   C# minorC#m  BB
got snuffed out
C# minorC#m
drowned out by the
 BB       C# minorC#m
static in an attempt
        BB
to catch the essence
       G# minorG#m
of something you
       F#F#  G# minorG#m F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
though you deserved

   E MajorE  BB
All I want is no more
  E MajorE    BB
commercials and with
A augmentedA       BB
all they represent
    A augmentedA
what we need
      F# minorF#m
is a better sense

verse 2:
      C# minorC#m BB C# minorC#m
And I think we
        BB
should quit the circus
C# minorC#m BB      G# minorG#m
   and never speak of
   F#F#
this again When I got
C# minorC#m BB     C# minorC#m
home I couldn't
      BB
construct a sentence
  C# minorC#m
forgot to print out
 BB
directions telling
   G# minorG#m
me me I don't
     F#F#
know the struggle

verse 3:
       C# minorC#m BB
But that was fun
what's there to
     C# minorC#m BB
pick you up  one
    C# minorC#m
of your famous
   BB
misdirections
      G# minorG#m
showing me how
to adjust the
F#F#
tension


Refrain:
      G# minorG#m BB G# minorG#m
what have I done?
   C# minorC#m
I was only
trying to pick
  G# minorG#m BB G# minorG#m
you up
   F#F#
I Was only
only trying to

      E MajorE  BB
spend some time in
    E MajorE  BB
empty spaces Take
     A augmentedA
back the things
       BB
that we never meant
      A augmentedA
and do whatever we
    F# minorF#m
haven't yet But you
       E MajorE  BB
were blue and gray
      E MajorE   BB
hands were shaking
      A augmentedA
telling me why you
     BB
were so upset not
     A augmentedA
trying to patiently
     F# minorF#m
wait for death


Bridge:
      E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
You are a star

C# minorC#m BB G# minorG#m F#F#
E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
C# minorC#m BB G# minorG#m F#F#
E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
C# minorC#m BB G# minorG#m F#F#
E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
C# minorC#m BB G# minorG#m F#F#
E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#
C# minorC#m BB G# minorG#m F#F#

      E MajorE BB
You are a star
      E MajorE  BB

       A augmentedA
Take back the things
       BB
that we never meant
      A augmentedA
and do whatever we
    F# minorF#m
haven't yet But you
       E MajorE  BB
were blue and gray
      E MajorE   BB
