Intro
C# Dm Am
C#
I spent years becoming cool
Dm Am
And in one single second you can make a decade of my efforts disappear
C# Dm
I'm just waiting at the bar and you rip open all my scars
Am
By saying something like, "Didn't know you were here"
C# Dm
I always knew I was a martyr and that Jesus was one too
Am
But I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew
C# Dm
And I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you
Am
Or anybody that decides that I'm of use
C#
Lonely is the muse
Dm
Ah-ah
Am
Lonely is the muse
C# Dm
So, wh?re do I go in the process wh n I'm just an apparatus?
Am
I've inspired platinum records, I've earned platinum airline status
C# Dm
And I've mined a couple diamonds from the stories in my head
Am
But I'm reduced to just a body here in someone else's bed
C# Dm
Always knew I was a martyr, that Jesus was one too
Am
But I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew
C# Dm
And I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you
Am
Or anybody that decides that I'm of use
C#
Lonely is the muse
Dm
Ah-ah
Am
Lonely is the muse
Ah-ah
C# Dm
And I will always be a martyr, I will fill your life with songs
Am
I'll be a wind chime in the window catching light to throw around
C# Dm
And I will tear apart your bedroom, I'll call you in the night
Am
I will exist in every second just to decorate your life
C# Dm
And when you're done you can't discard me like the others always do
Am
And I will nurse my wounds until another artist stains me new
C# Dm
And I will always reassemble to fit perfectly in view
Am
For anybody that decides that I'm of use
C#
Lonely is the muse
Dm
Ah-ah
Am
Lonely is the muse
Ah-ah
