Tom: G#m
G#m B E 2x
[Verse 1]
G#m B E
Speaking from the tongue
G#m B E
Of an experienced simpleton
G#m F# E G#m
Who obviously would rather be an emasculated
F# E
Infantile complainee
[Chorus]
G#m E B
Keep it all to yourself
E C#m G#m
As it eats away your health
E B
The attention, your ambition
E C#m G#m
It was the root of all your guilt
E B
Fight fire with fire
E C#m G#m
And speak truth with every word you say
E B
The attention, your ambition
E C#m G#m
It was the root of all your pain
[Instrumental]
G#m B E 2x
[Verse 2]
G#m
You gave us something that
B E
I know we are all searching to find
G#m B E
To put it into words you redefined
G#m B E
Something new, something to relate to
G#m
I never met you
F# E
But I feel just what you went through
[Chorus]
G#m E B
Keep it all to yourself
E C#m G#m
As it eats away your health
E B
The attention, your ambition
E C#m G#m
It was the root of all your guilt
E B
Fight fire with fire
E C#m G#m
And speak truth with every word you say
B E
You threw it all away.
[Bridge]
E F# G#m
Aurora avenue seemed to protect you
B
In your sleep
E
I hope you find the peace you seek
F# G#m B
You used to sing of youth I used to know
[Chorus]
G#m E B
Keep it all to yourself
E C#m G#m
As it eats away your health
E B
The attention, your ambition
E C#m G#m
It was the root of all your guilt
E B
Fight fire with fire
E C#m G#m
And speak truth with every word you say
B E
You threw it all away.
