Don't wanna talk about it
A                          F#m    Esus      E
The ceiling moves before my aching eyes

I'll watch the phone sit still

I am always the captive
                     Dmaj7
When will I play the good cop?
                      B5
Lord knows I need the practice
                   Dmaj7
Sick of swallowing full stops

What use is sleep anyway?

I'll brace myself

To be in hell
D     E6      F#m  F#madd2
