Citizens!


Tom: C

Dm Am C G

[Verse 1]
 Am
In an empty room
           G               Dm     G
Inside a haunted house I waste, away
   Am
Nothing getting in
           G                  Dm
There’s nothing coming out I fade to
  G
grey


[Chorus]
 Am                           G
All the memories I’ve been pushing out of my head
            Am               C    G
I need to face the pain, I never did
 Am                        G
But if I open this door I won't really know what’s ahead
             Am              C
I don’t know how to feel, afraid to
 G
live


[Verse 2]
Am
I wanna shut my eyes
         G               Dm      G
I wanna live inside the dream, awake
Am
But when I close my eyes
               G            Dm     G
It's just a twisted mess I can't escape


[Chorus]
 Am                        G
All the memories I keep pushing out of my head
           Am                C    G
I want to face the pain, I never did
 Am                        G
But if I open this door I won't really know what’s ahead
              Am             C
I don’t know how to feel, afraid to
 G
live


[Bridge]
   C                        Am
Running from the heartbreak of the
  G
night
           Dm          Am
It's an illusion of a life
     F
I tremble with desire
     C                   Am        G
Strangling the grief out of the light
           Dm          Am
It's an illusion of a life
   F
I long to feel the fire

Dm Am C G

[Outro]
 Dm                        Am
All the memories I keep pushing out of
    G
my head
           Dm       C     Am     G
I need to face the pain woaaah-ohhhh
