INTRO
C majorC C majorC B minorBm E minorEm
C majorC D MajorD B minorBm E minorEm


[Verse 1]

C majorC
My world is stirring sickly

B minorBm        E minorEm
Spits out our voices singing

C majorC      D MajorD
"Sha la la la, oh, no no,"

B minorBm        E minorEm
To kingdom come so slightly

C majorC
Here in the void in your place

B minorBm        E minorEm
I twitch and tweak an illusion

C majorC      D MajorD
To sit and stare so blankly

B minorBm        E minorEm
Until our hope is used up

[Pre-chorus]

C majorC      B minorBm      D MajorD
Why do I always seem to need you when you're fleeing?
C majorC      B minorBm      D MajorD
Where do you go when I'm around?
C majorC      B minorBm      D MajorD
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
C majorC      B minorBm      D MajorD
And have the nerve to wear a crown?

[Chorus x4]

C majorC C majorC B minorBm E minorEm
C majorC D MajorD B minorBm E minorEm

Oh
Na na na na na na, hey! hey! hey!

[Verse 2]
Some unguarded room
A augmentedA smoky figure fills me full
Makes my head swell and ruin
My family kneels at the pew
They nod - 'We believe in what you're doing'
I feel you rise above me
The western landscape's towering
And from my shell of a body
The flowers blossom for picking

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus x4]

[Bridge]
**no chords**
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction

[Bridge/Chorus]

C majorC
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive
B minorBm            E minorEm
Now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid
C majorC             D MajorD
Though lead through the dark with your eyes as my candles
B minorBm            E minorEm
Where your life and my life's directions can wrangle
C majorC
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
B minorBm            E minorEm
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall
C majorC             D MajorD
And somehow, oh somehow, I'll find out the secret
B minorBm            E minorEm
