[Verse 1]
                     G     Cadd9
You can run for the hills
                     A           D
You can run for the high, high trees
         G          Cadd9                A         D              G
You can run for the toy stores that you loved so dearly in your youth
    Cadd9   A                     D
But if you really wanna know the truth
             G                     Cadd9
Under these ruthless grey endless skies
                  A                     D
Greater men have lost their heads than you
                          G  Cadd9
It's all about baby steps


[Verse 2]
                A                   D
It’s all about working towards the goal
                G                   Cadd9           A            D
It's all about lying to yourself an awful lot, you really wanna know
             G          Cadd9
It's like a dream in a dream
                      A                  D
It’s like the end of next with nicholas cage
           G                     Cadd9                    A               D
It's like seeing the future and realizing everything will be exactly the same


[Verse 3]
             G     Cadd9
When you're dead
                        A         D
And who could hope for more than that?
        G                   Cadd9
These streets will be lit by sun one day
           A                          D
Down here i'll still be knee-deep in rats
        G             Cadd9
In the sewer seeking shelter
        A                  D
In the dark and stinking abyss
              G            Cadd9
I hate these awful sweaty summers
                       A                               D
But i keep on heading southward thru these tunnels of piss


[Verse 3]
       G    Cadd9
And i know
          A                 D
I know i waste every night wishing
     G          Cadd9
For something
                 A    D
That will never come
       G    Cadd9
And i know
            A               D
I swear to god i know true evil
        G      Cadd9           A   D
When i see it standing in the sun

And

[Verse 4]
G   Cadd9     A        D
I dream of a big house
            G    Cadd9  A   D
I dream of a clear open sky
            G     Cadd9       A                D
I dream of a tall figure standing between the trees
               G    Cadd9    A   D
I dream of an open, staring eye
N.C.

G     Cadd9    A          D    G
Thank you for letting me live
          Cadd9      A     D   G
In such a fucked up world
      Cadd9           A    D
Thank you for letting me exist
           G      Cadd9   A    D   G
As such a broken, ruined girl
      Cadd9          A      D
Thank you for making me so sick
          G            Cadd9        A     D   G
And never owning up to what you've done
      Cadd9           A      D
Thank you for all the evil dreams
               G      Cadd9
Thank you for killing everyone
