Tom: A
D A
There's electrical tape around my shoes
D A
To prevent them from breaking in two
And there's a crown on the end of my tooth
D
Some royal filler and some superglue
A Bm D
And there are broken things all over my room
A Bm D
Old and borrowed, stolen and used
A Bm D
Instruments that can't hold a tune
A Bm D
I recline on my mattress and become one too
[Chorus]
Bm A
I've never had satisfaction
F#m E
In the chemical reactions
Bm A F#m E
That happen in my head
Bm A
There are faults in these cracks
F#m E
They send volts then relax
Bm A F#m E
Then realize the wrong message was sent
Bm A F#m E
It's disillusion, and confusion
Bm A E
This illusion of me
Bm A
Through solemn seclusion
F#m E
(And my neurons' delusion)
Bm A
I've come to this conclusion
F#m E A
That I'll never fully be
Bm D A Bm D
[Verse 2]
A Bm D
In my mind, I can't find an inclination
A Bm D
Or a basic impulse for self preservation
A Bm D
So I'll sit here, teetering and waiting
A Bm D
For a big gust of wind or some stabilisation
A Bm D
I'm treading water, I'm juggling knives
A Bm D
I'm doing both at the same time
A Bm D
Dude! Put down the blades and swim to the shore line
A Bm D
Well, oh God, I've tried
[Chorus]
Bm A
I've never had satisfaction
F#m E
In the chemical reactions
Bm A F#m E
That happen in my head
Bm A
There are faults in these cracks
F#m E
They send volts then relax
Bm A F#m E
Then realize the wrong message was sent
Bm A F#m E
It's disillusion, and confusion
Bm A E
This illusion of me
Bm A
Through solemn seclusion
F#m E
(And my neurons' delusion)
Bm A
I've come to this conclusion
F#m E A
That I'll never fully be
No not fully
[Bridge]
A
I first saw you from my plastic cage
E A
From the wedding band at the back of the stage
E Bm A
In slow motion, you caught the bouquet
E A
In slow motion, I smiled and walked away
Isn't this the same story? We've heard it before
The same melody and the same score
F#m Am C#m
Well, these hairs won't stand up in my pores
A#m A
These shouts of calamity are becoming a bore
[Chorus]
Bm A
I've never had satisfaction
F#m E
In the chemical reactions
Bm A F#m E
That happen in my head
Bm A
There are faults in these cracks
F#m E
They send volts then relax
Bm A F#m E
Then realize the wrong message was sent
Bm A F#m E
It's disillusion, and confusion
Bm A E
This illusion of me
Bm A
Through solemn seclusion
F#m E
(And my neurons' delusion)
Bm A
I've come to this conclusion
F#m E A
That I'll never fully be
