Key: Ab

♫ Intro:

C  Em  G  C
Em  G  C



♫ Verse 1:
            Em  G      C
You were an idealistic man
         Em        G          C
I wasn't trying to ruin all your plans
            Em                G          C
God gave me hope just like He gave me conviction
                Em               G            C
Red herrings in early years that led to contradictions

♫ Verse 2:
                  Em            G                  C
They say that the body's just a thing to house the mind
                 Em         G           C
But mine keeps betraying me night after night
                 Em             G                C
Pain through the center of what feeds my self-perception
                   Em               G               C
It'll fill you for forty years then starve you for attention
C
No more, please


♫ Chorus:
             Em
I'm a vacant shell of what you'd allow
              G                  C
If you wanted me once, well, you don't want me now
                               Em
I'll call you back when you're settled with kids
        G                         C
You can lean back, relax, tell me all about it


♫ Interlude:
Em  G  C    Em  G  C


♫ Verse 3:
                  Em            G                C
They say that the body's just a thing to house a life
                    Em                G                C
But mine heaves and protests with the pressure of just mine
         Em              G           C
Wasted potential feels a lot like protection
                          Em                 G                  C
From yellow walls, missed birthday calls and passed down self-rejection
C
No more, please


♫ Chorus:
             Em
I'm a vacant shell of what you'd allow
              G                  C
If you wanted me once, well, you don't want me now
                               Em
I'll call you back when you're settled with kids
        G                         C
You can lean back, relax, tell me all about it
             Em
I'm a vacant shell of what you'd allow
              G                  C
If you wanted me once, well, you don't want me now
                               Em
I'll call you back when you're settled with kids
        G                         C             Em
You can lean back, relax, tell me all about it


♫ Bridge:
G                         C             Em

Lean back, relax
