Tom: C
C Am F C
C Am F C
[Verse 1]
C
Oh, this is what I've become
Am
I am the bricklayer's son
F C
Born at the wrong time
C
Oh, the weight, it leads me astray
Am
But I will not stand in your way
F C
If you don't stand in mine
C
My mind, it moved like mercury
Am
Through the thin plasticine
F C
Of your heart's circuitry
C
Oh well, at least it did until
Am
A whole damn mountain of pills
F C
Buried me
[Chorus]
G C F
But I won't come back you see
G C F
Don't take it so personally
G C F C
It's just when you look at me
C G/B C F
I see it bright as the sun, oh
C G C
My failures all at once
[Verse 2]
C
So now, now I live with a girl
Am
At the edge of the world
F C
She's a bricklayer too
C
Oh, I loved her right from the start
Am
When she ripped out my heart
F C
She reminds me of you
[Chorus]
G C F
But I won't come back you see
G C F
Don't take it so personally
G C F C
It's just when you look at me
C G/B C F
I see it bright as the sun, oh
C G C
My failures all at once
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C
Oh, this is what I've become
Am
I am the bricklayer's son
F C
But I'm not wasting my time
C
Oh, the weight, it leads me astray
Am
But I will not stand in your way
F C
If you don't stand in mine
