Tom: E
E
“Pull out your clothes
Esus4 E
You’re made for something special.”
A
If that’s what it takes to get you out of bed
Db5 E A
You think you’re meant for California
E
But that’s just in your head
[Instrumental]
E Esus4 E
E Esus4 E
I saw you howling at the street lights
A
Pressed against the skin you want to shed
Db5 E A
You tore down all the walls for answers
And found this shit instead
[Instrumental]
E Esus4 E
[Chorus]
Db5 A E
You and I remember in distinctly different ways
Db5 A E
How we realized that we simply don’t belong
Db5 A E
Like a cast of shallow characters performing on a stage
Gbm A
Our final bow before the curtain comes
E Esus4 E
Throw up your hands like everyone’s offensive
A
Give up to God if that’s your cup of tea
Db5 E A
Once everybody else around you
E Esus4 E
Is bitter just like me
E Esus4 E
Don’t let the poison that surrounds you
A
Stifle out the life you want to live
Db5 E A
Please know it truly doesn’t matter
And truly never did
[Instrumental]
E Esus4 E
[Chorus]
Db5 A
You and I have woken up
E
With hollow copies of our names
Db5 A E
With your scripted and directed set of lines
Db5 A E
Like a cast of shallow characters performing on a stage
Gbm A
You know we’ll soon be fading from their minds
Db5 A E
You and I, we both remember in distinctly different ways
Db5 A E
How we realized that we simply don’t belong
Db5 A E
Like a cast of shallow characters performing on a stage
Gbm A
Our final bow before the curtain comes
Gbm A
Our final bow before the curtain comes
E
Before the curtain comes…
