Don't wanna talk about it
A                          F#m    Esus      E        
The ceiling moves before my aching eyes
F#m           E5        Dsus2   D    Dsus#4    A/D              
I'll watch the phone sit still

          
Chorus 1:

B5              Dmaj7          
Move away, I am over you

I've opened my eyes
                               Dmaj7        
And the best of my mind fell on through
                B5       
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
                  B5       
Now the system is failing

For bad news

I'll brace myself
D  E6     F#m   Aadd2             
To be in hell
