Tom: G
C D
Last time that I saw you
E
Both hands in the dirt
C D
Asking for a photograph
E
A picture you did not deserve
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, but I was just a placeholder
G C
A lesson to be learned
C D
Oh, I was just a placeholder
G C
A place you will return
[Verse]
C D
Last time that I heard your voice
E
Words I couldn't comprehend
C D
As a thousand years of feedback
E
Screaming in my head
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, but I was just a placeholder
G C
Exchange for what you had
C D
Oh, I was just a placeholder
G C
A tension you retract
[Verse]
C D
Curious, I came to you
E
You wordlessly ignored
C D E
As I stumbled psychically upon a truth I could not afford
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, but I was just a placeholder
G C
A place and nothing more
C D
Oh, I was just a placeholder
G C
With nothing to stand for
[Verse]
C D
And this is where I doubted you
E
And endless compromise
C D
To say that you told me to the truth is to tell each other lies
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, but now you are a placeholder
G C
Blinded by desire
C D
Oh, now you're just a placeholder
G C
For someone wasting time
