Difficulty: Novice

Intro:

D MajorD G+G (x2)

Verse:

D MajorD
The orderlies shuffle
    G+G
across black and white marble
     D MajorD
They're bustling reminders that
             G+G
no one can slow down the days
   D MajorD
The white coats and black boards
     G+G
they conspire behind locked doors
   D MajorD
They don't want to tell you how long
         G+G
until it eats me away
  D MajorD
I wish you would wake me
     G+G
when I'm violently shaking
D MajorD
Tossing and turning through dreams
          G+G
where I die giving up
  D MajorD
I wish it had been you
     G+G
that I'd given my heart to
  D MajorD
Instead of just wasting these moments
       G+G
by biting my tongue

Chorus:

   B minorBm        A augmentedA
And I've been having dreams
  G+G         D MajorD
of black and white infirmaries
     B minorBm
With the palest walls
   A augmentedA        G+G
that always stand in silence
    B minorBm          A augmentedA
If I thought that you could hear
   G+G        D MajorD
I'd whisper in your ear
     B minorBm
All the things I couldn't
A augmentedA        G+G
come around to writing

Interlude:

D MajorD G+G (x2)

Verse:

      D MajorD
I've been constantly stepping
      G+G
with these unwanted weapons
      D MajorD
Like the things that I think
               G+G
and I feel will destroy everything
  D MajorD
So I'll hold a flame to
   G+G
the things I won't tell you
   D MajorD
And sift through the ashes
              G+G
for some kind of reason to sing

Chorus:

   B minorBm        A augmentedA
And I've been having dreams
  G+G         D MajorD
of black and white infirmaries
     B minorBm
With the palest walls
   A augmentedA        G+G
that always stand in silence
    B minorBm          A augmentedA
If I thought that you could hear
   G+G        D MajorD
I'd whisper in your ear
     B minorBm
All the things I couldn't
A augmentedA        G+G
come around to writing

Interlude:

D MajorD A augmentedA G+G (x2)

Outro:

     D MajorD
And I'll bleed right out
     A augmentedA          G+G
of these wounds that I gave myself
     D MajorD
And I'll live out
        A augmentedA         G+G
live out this life with nobody's help
     D MajorD
And I'll bleed right out
     A augmentedA          G+G
of these wounds that I gave myself
     D MajorD
And I'll live out
        A augmentedA         G+G
live out this life with nobody's help
