A                 Asus4
Broken people get recycled
A                      A
and I hope that I will sometimes

be thrown off the pathways
A                         Dmmaj7  Dm6
what I thought was my way home

wasn't the place I (know)

when the earth begins to crumble?
A                         Dmmaj7    Dm6
why'd you feel you have to hold on?

imagine if you let    go
