Verse 1:
C         G       C            G
I wasn't higher than I was supposed to be
         Em                   C         G
But the walls froze through then they shatter
     C           G      C             G         C
I'm partially peaceful sitting in an empty room
           Em             C      G
While the lights outside never matter

D           G                  C
 There's a bitter pill on the other side
D         G                C
 Smoky shaded space in a double-wide
           Em   D       G
 We could come to the middle
  Am     D          C
 Let it all pass through

G C G C Em C G

Verse 2:
C         G
I'm a pretender
      C               G         C
It's like bein' the morning sun
         Em          C       G
All the lies I live make me wonder
C        G
I had a bottle
 C                 G        C
Filled it with the only one
            Em             C     G
That could turn my nights into thunder

D        G                C
 How I wish it could be another way
D        G                   C
 And I wouldn't stumble and go away
                    Em  D      G
Yeah, it makes you cry just a little
        Am     D   C
If it does us any good

I cannot see it

G C G C Em C G
D G C D G C

Verse 3:
           C        G
And I am shaping a madness
C      G         C
?: were planned
           Em             C        G
While the world spins faster than ever
      C             G
And they say it's burning
C                    G         C
All the things you need to say
            Em           C           G
You better get out now while you're limber

D         G                  C
 Morning never cuts like I want it to
D           G                 C
 There's a canyon in between me and you
              Em   D       G
And I would bleed just a little
     Am    D      C
And never be the same

G C G C Em C G

Verse 4:
       C     G      C         G
Why am I so tired when all I do is sleep?
           Em             C        G
Is it the same dream that I keep having?
 C              G       C           G
You were there with me lying in a naked seat
               Em        C       G
But there was ample shelter and padding


D         G                  C
 But the wind whispers in a darkened street
D         G                  C
 Selling simple warnings to you and me
                  Em  C       G
Yeah it makes me die just a little
   Am     D      C
A little every day

G C G C Em C G
