Tom: Bm
Bm D
It’s not until now that I realise
Bm D
The injuries left hidden inside
G
And how scared I was that you’d be repulsed by this body of mine
Bm D
That you’d cower away and you’d freak out
Bm D
When all the worst parts of me leaked out
G D
Of my nose and my mouth, every pore of my skin and my ears and my eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D Bm G
And I told you my weak breathing was just anxiety breath
Bm A D G
Scared of the forbidden, being left alone with the worst thoughts running wild inside my head
[Chorus]
D
Cast my memory back
G
Slowly draw in the net
D Bm G
Throw myself right into the current, will I float?
D
What a time we did have
G
When we weren’t thinking so hard
D Bm G
Well I guess it’s a comfort we’ve emptied our pockets of stones
[Verse 2]
Bm D
With the flesh inside me crawling
Bm D
And the lungs in my chest still heaving
G
I’ll try to untangle this mess that I’ve mangled and order it into a line
Bm D
But sometimes plain-speaking can’t do justice
Bm D
To the rawness and the roughness
G
Of the pieces of past that have cut me apart and made me a wreck by design
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D G
And I told you my quick breathing was just anxiety breath
Bm A D G
Scared of the silence, being left alone and everything leading to death
Em D G
And now I’m alone, I’m riding home and my mind it twists and it cries
Bm A D G
Why is it only easy, is it always easy, easier to talk in the night?
[Chorus]
D
Cast my memory back
G
Slowly draw in the net
D Bm G
Throw myself right into the current, will I float?
D
What a time we did have
G
When we weren’t thinking so hard
D Bm G
Well I guess it’s a comfort we’ve emptied our pockets of stones
[Bridge]
Bm
I am constantly pushing aside the debris
D
I am constantly losing sight of my feet
A
I am trying to see where I should go
Em G
But the words in my head are stuck in my throat
Bm
I am constantly pushing aside the debris
D
I am constantly losing sight of my feet
A
I am trying to see where I should go
Em G
But the words in my head are stuck in my throat
Em G
But the words in my head are stuck in my throat
Are stuck in my throat, are stuck in my throat
[Chorus]
D
Cast my memory back
G
Slowly draw in the net
D Bm G
Throw myself right into the current, will I float?
D
What a time we did have
G
When we weren’t thinking so hard
D Bm G
Well I guess it’s a comfort we’ve emptied our pockets of stones
D Bm G
Well I guess it’s a comfort we’ve emptied our pockets of stones
