Tom: Am
Am E F
And I, I can feel the pull begin
C Am
I feel my conscience wearing thin
E F
And my skin, it will start
C Am
To break up and fall apart
F Dm
Can you save, can you save
Am G
Can you save my heavy dirty soul
Dm Am
They say stay in your lane boy, lane boy
G
But we go where we want to
Dm Am
They think this thing is a highway, highway
G
But will they be alive tomorrow
C Dm Am
Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
F G C
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying, on the ground
Dm Am
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
E C Am E
Please don't make any sudden moves
C Am E
You don't know the half of the abused
G D
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
Em C
I know I haven't been the best
G D
Of sons, hello, I've been travelling in the desert of my mind
Em C
And I haven't found a drop
Em C G
I know where you stand
D Em
Silent in the trees
C G
And that's where I am
D
Silent
Em C
I won't fall in love with falling
G B
I will try to avoid those eyes
C G D
And everyone gather around for a show
Em C
Watch as this man disappears as we know
G Em
Look in the mirror
G Em
And ask yourself if you're alright
G D
Won't you stay alive
Em
I'll take you on a ride
C D G
I will make you believe that you are lovely
Am G
Wish we could turn back time
C E
To the good old days
Am G C E
When our mamas sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
A E
That you all have guns
B
But you never put the safety on
A E
And you all have plans
B
To take it, to take it, don't take it, take it, take it
C#m B E
I'm the son of all I've done, I'm the son of all I've done
G#
Imposter, been fostered
C#m
Then my new father drained my dirty blood
E C#m A
And I'll fall down, and I'll break down
B E
And I'll fake you out, all I wanna
F#m A
Even when I doubt you
C#m B
I'm no good without you
E A
You'll have to watch me struggle
C#m
From several rooms away
E B E
But tonight, I need you to stay
F#m E A
F#m E A
We don't believe what's on TV
F#m E A
Because it's what we want to see
A D
I'm semi-automatic
F#m
My prayers schizophrenic
E
But I'll live on yeah I'll live on
A
And about this time of every year
D
The line will go to the ocean pier
F#m E A
And march right off into the sea
D F#m E
Though I'm weak, and beaten down
D F#m E
I'll slip away, into the sound
A
At my kitchen sink
D
You don't know what that means
F#m
Because a kitchen sink to you
E
Is not a kitchen sink to me, ok friend
F#m D
I'm fairly local, I've been around
A E
I've seen the streets, you're walking down
F#m D
I'm fairly local, good people now
A E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A E
Friend, please remove your hands
F#m D
From over your eyes for me
A F#m
You are tired, you are worn
E D
A moth ate through your favourite shirt
A
Where'd you go, huh?
E
They all think I know you
D
It's so hard to motivate
Me to devote a
A
Single inch of me to
E
Something I can't see
D A E
Am I the only one I know
D A E
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat
A D A
I wanna strip myself of breath
E A D A
A breathless beast of death I've made for you
D A
Heard you say, "Not today"
F#m E
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
D
Help me polarize, help me polarize
F#m
Help me down
Bm A E
Those stairs is where I'll be hiding all my problems
A G A
G
She's the tear in my heart
A
I'm alive
Bm
She's the tear in my heart
A
I'm on fire
C#m
Release me from the present
C#m
I'm obsessing, all these questions
C#m
Why I'm in denial
C F Am
C F Am F
Oh, miss believer, my pretty weeper
C Am F G
Your twisted thoughts are like snow on the rooftops
F C
You're the judge, oh no
G Am
Set me free
C
I'm standing in front of you
G
I'm standing in front of you
Am
I'm trying to be so cool
F
Everything together trying to be so cool
F Am
You are surrounding all my surroundings
C
Sounding down the mountain range
G
Of my left-side brain
C F Am
C F
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Am G
Will you buy me a house of gold?
F
I ponder of something great
F G
My lungs will fill and then deflate
Am
They fill with fire, exhale desire
G
I know it's dire my time today
C G D
C G D
Stay alive, stay alive for me
C G D
You will die, but now your life is free
G Am Em
G Am Em
I put my socks on my feet,
G Am Em
Just so that my soul won't fall through my toes
G Am
You will never know, what's behind my skull
Em D
So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye
C Am Em
C Am Em
Ruby I hope I see you, I've waited all this week
C Am Em
For you to walk my way, and your soul will capture me
Em Am
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that nobody cares about
G B
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
G Em
I'll stay awake
Am D G
'Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight
D Am C Em
D Am C Em
Where we're from, there's no sun, our hometown's in the dark
G Em
Oh, oh
Am C
I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
G
Hey, oh
D G
I'm holding on to what I know
Bm
And what I know, I must let go
A G
But I would rather play a song for the eyes to sing along
A# F Dm C
A# F
The air begins to feel a little thin
Dm C
As I start the car, and then I begin
F C Dm
I scream, you scream, we all scream
A# C
'Cause we're all terrified of what's around the corner
E Am
Us to sleep but now we're stressed out
G C E
Am G C E
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
Am G C E
When our mamas sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
