Most of this song is the same chord progression.

Intro:
C#   B   F#
C#


Verse 1:
C#                            B
I've learned how not to miss the age of tenderness
     F#                     C#
That I am so lucky to have seen once
C#                              B
And now that I've become older I've learned how to brush over
F#                      C#
My history and how it's sequenced

C#                    B
When I think about you I see a person who
F#                   C#
Hasn't existed for a long time
C#                        B
Before you started using, before I starting choosing
F#                          C#
To do the same thing for the same reasons

C#                          B
The first name I called you is not a name at all
F#                    C#
More of a duty than a function
C#                    B
Often an execution, often with deep confusion of
F#                    C#
"??Who was I when that name was just mine?"


Instrumental Break:
C#   B   F#
C#


Verse 2:
C#                         B
Like a serpent charmer negotiating harm
F#                           C#
I live with a basket of your silence
C#                     B
And as the years record I can feel it growing bored
F#                           C#
But I keep the top on in the meantime

C#                        B
When I pass my reflection there isn't any question of
F#                     C#
Where the person in it came from
C#                              B
When I catch myself thinking and hear the voice that speaks inside
F#                    C#
I know where I got my brain from


Bridge:
A               C#               G#
Every step I've strayed from and followed

F#            C#      G#
Led me to the same location

A               C#            G#
Every act I've forsake and borrowed

F#           C#
A delivery to now

F#                      C#     A  B  F#
And I've never wondered how I came to


Ending:
C#          B            F#          C#
Be, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C#          B            F#          C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C#          B            F#          C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C#          B            F#          C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be

A    B  F#
