Tom: E

E

[Verse 1]
              E
you write the letters to yourself
                               G#m       B
because your mind has become a new dead language
              E
it's not that no one understands
                                        G#m     B
you've just been striving for some more comprehension

[Chorus 1]
    E             G#m             E            G#m
but when did your heart break and take you the wrong way?
E             G#m          F#m   E
when did your bones get so hollow?
    E           G#m          E               G#m
and when did distractions replace persuit of passion?
       E            G#m            F#m   E                E
you're cheating the light you once followed

[Verse 2]
                  E
while you've been choking back the words
                 G#m    B
for some fear of misconstruction
    E
you hid your heart and thoughts
                             G#m   B    F#m
so far down that no one can touch them

[Chorus 2]
  B                      E     B
I found you in a shallow hole, dear
  B         C#m       B      E    B
I think you lost your lovely soul there
  B                     E    B
I found myself a home so hollow
    B                      E     B
I'm chewing more than I can swallow

[Bridge]
E    E    F    E
E    E    G#m    F#m   B

[Chorus 3]
   B             B      B
I found myself a home so hollow
    B                       E     B
I'm chewing more than I can swallow

[Outro]
B  C#m  B
C#m B F#m E
