Intro: Verse Riff x2

(C5)      G       Gm G
    I was feeling nostalgic
        Gm   G        Gm       G
for the days when my thoughts dripped
      Gm     F         Fm  F
on to my head from the ceiling
Fm   C5
I remember the feeling                                                   ~ Verse 1 ~
       G         Gm G
of the muse-less existence
       Gm     G          Gm   G
of the drunk, bored, and listless
Gm      F           Fm   F
Endless waiting for something
    Fm  C5
that I knew wasn't coming

       F
And it seems these days I'm
C5             Csus2  C5  G    Gsus4  G
captive in this borrowed time
F
seems these days I'm
C5             Csus2  C5  G    Gsus4  G
captive in this borrowed time                       ~ Chorus ~
F
seems these days I'm
C5             Csus2  C5  G    Gsus4  G
captive in this borrowed time
F                    C5
seems these days I'm captive in this

(Verse Riff x2)

(C5)      G     Gm G
    I was up to my neck in
    Gm  G       Gm   G
motivation, neglect when
   Gm   F            Fm  F
I felt soft waves of purpose
     Fm  C5
crashing on to the surface                                              ~ Verse 2 ~
      G       Gm G
I was feeling nostalgic
        Gm   G        Gm       G
for the days when my thoughts dripped
      Gm     F         Fm  F
on to my head from the ceiling
Fm   C5
I remember the feeling
