Captives


Tom: Em

Em
Listen to me

I'm not saying it's impossible
                           Cmaj7
Maybe I just need a little sympathy
           C
Though I'm guessing it would help
     Cmaj7                 Em
If I opened up my heart to somebody

I may feel a little better
                       Cmaj7
If I could just get my conscience clear
       C       Cmaj7 (ring)
I want to disappear

Em       C       D
Em       C       D

[Verse 1]
Em                                      C
And I've seen the life dragged out of me
                       Cmaj7
But I'm wasting breath (I'm wasting breath)
   C            Em
On every broken dream

I'll wait for an answer
        C
So this spark inside of me
         G                Bm              Em
Can burn bright enough to keep me company

I see that


[Chorus]
C                         Cmaj7
 We're all waiting for an answer
                     Em
But we don't see the signs
                  G
I'm hiding in the background while
Bm                   C
They all live their lives
                     Cmaj7
There's so much time left
                       Em
But time scares me the most
                  G
Counting down the days until
Bm         Em
I am not alone


[Verse 2]
Em
Look at me

Look at the state of my fate

I'm fading away
   C                Cmaj7
My anxiety, I'm at war with myself
      C
Maybe someone can help?
       Em
But I'm positive

That with a little bit of strength

I can turn this around
    C
And separate
   G
The darkest of days
Bm                  Em
Step into the light again

I see that


[Chorus]
C                         Cmaj7
 We're all waiting for an answer
                     Em
But we don't see the signs
                  G
I'm hiding in the background while
Bm                   C
They all live their lives
                     Cmaj7
There's so much time left
                       Em
But time scares me the most
                  G
Counting down the days until
Bm         Em
I am not alone


[Bridge]

C    (Cmaj7) Am    C    D

Em
I might find myself
     C                    Cmaj7
Once I put myself through hell
             Am
Well maybe I need it
            Am7
Or maybe to realise
     C         G        Bm
That my life's falling away

C
Listen to me

I'm not saying it's impossible
                           Em
Maybe I just need a little sympathy
       G
Though I'm guessing it would help
     Bm
If I opened up my heart


[Chorus]
C                         Cmaj7
 We're all waiting for an answer
                     Em
But we don't see the signs
                  G
I'm hiding in the background while
Bm                   C
They all live their lives
                     Cmaj7
There's so much time left
                       Em
But time scares me the most
                  G
Counting down the days until
Bm         Em
I am not alone
