Intro C majorC A minorAm E minorEm

C majorC                  A minorAm
It slip between your fingers, out of grasp
    E minorEm
You are vain
C majorC                   A minorAm
To hold yourself so high - you'd never match

     E minorEm
Far from sane
    A minorAm   E minorEm
I would like to know

    A minorAm   G+G         A minorAm
I would like to know where you've been

E minorEm         C majorC
To know where I'll go
     G+G      A minorAm
And I'll lay down my arms
    E minorEm   C majorC   (Em9Em9 G5/E)
If you open up yours

C majorC               A minorAm
Even when you write an honest song
    E minorEm
You are vain
  C majorC               A minorAm
You try and pick only the greatest words
       E minorEm
It brings you pain

    A minorAm   E minorEm
I would like to know

    A minorAm   G+G         A minorAm
I would like to know where you've been
  E minorEm       C majorC
To know where I'll go
     G+G      A minorAm
And I'll lay down my arms
    E minorEm   C majorC
If you open up yours

     G+G       A minorAm
When you like what you see
     E minorEm     C majorC
You don't countenance me
     G+G      A minorAm
If you're all in your head
     E minorEm    C majorC
Then I'll never be near

 D MajorD
A augmentedA crow rests in the tree, swinging by the balcony

It's staring right at me, I can't believe
        G+G   E minorEm
I'm starting to break down

D MajorD
Just another sip, anormally, it offers me

Some liquid, bitter, dark

A augmentedA starry night surrounding thee
C majorC
No, it cannot be, my enemy, what I've become

Voices in my head, I'm seeing red, it's made me numb
D MajorD                         B5B5
The fall I am about to face is now the only thing that has any
    D5D5
beauty left
            G+G   E minorEm
In awe with all of this break down

C majorC               A minorAm
It takes so much to see within ourselves
    E minorEm
We are vain
C majorC                 A minorAm
Vain for living life far from our self
      E minorEm
We have no names

    A minorAm   E minorEm
I would like to know

    F7M   C majorC         DmDm
I would like to know where you've been
  A minorAm       FF
To know where I'll go
     C majorC      DmDm
And I'll lay down my arms
    A minorAm   FF
If you open up yours

     C majorC       DmDm
When you like what you see
     A minorAm     FF
You don't countenance me
     C majorC      DmDm
If you're all in your head
     A minorAm    FF
Then I'll never be near
