Tom: G
Em Bm D G Em Bm D G
Woah, woah
[Verse 1]
Em Bm
How do I explain
D G
Or even articulate
Em Bm
That every day that I'm awake
D G
Is a day I fade away
Em Bm
Place chicken scratch to paper
D G
As I scratch inside my temples
Em Bm
For any hatch that resembles
D G
My simple solipsistic question
[Chorus]
Em Bm D G
So here I stand
Em Bm D G
A hollow man
Em Bm D G
A broken piece
Em Bm D G
Of god’s great plan
Em Bm D G Em Bm D G
Woah, woah
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
So I get out of my head
D G
And meet up with my friends
Em Bm
They say, 'Hey dude we missed you
D G
Where have you been?'
Em Bm
But I’ve been bleeding, I've been bleeding
D G
From all these senseless self beatings
Em Bm
And they scream please believe it
D G
You are needed, you are needed
[Verse 3]
Em Bm
But when will I know it?
D G
That I am not that piece of shit!
Em Bm
That people look at and they wince and
D G
Throw up a little bit
Em Bm
I am so cold
D G
But they hold me in a way
Em Bm
That makes the pain go away
[Chorus]
Em Bm D G
But I've been slowly building up
Em Bm D G
My sense of self from dust
Em Bm D G
I once was just a husk
Em Bm D G
Rust covered in rust covered in rust covered in rust
[Bridge]
Em Bm D G
In reality, my sanity is hanging by a thread
Em Bm D G
But if I became balanced would my street cred be in shreds
Em Bm D G
When my identity is entirely the maniac you see
Em Bm D G
If I became healthy would I stop being me?
Em Bm D G
In reality, my sanity is hanging by a thread (Slowly building up)
Em Bm D G
But if I became balanced would my street cred be in shreds (my sense of self from dust)
Em Bm D G
When my identity is entirely the maniac you see (I once was just a husk)
Em Bm D G
If I became healthy would I stop being me? (Rust covered in rust covered in rust covered in rust)
[Chorus]
Em Bm D G
Slowly building up
Em Bm D G
My sense of self from dust
Em Bm D G
I once was just a husk
Em Bm D G
Rust covered in rust covered in rust covered in rust
Em Bm D G
Well here I stand (here I)
Em Bm D G
A mouth full of sand (why do I keep eating sand?)
Em Bm D G
Please could you hold my hand
Em** Bm* D** G~
Stop me eating the sand, stop me feeling so goddamn bad
