Verse
E|E|E|E|---------||---||

Dm                            G
the clouds are holding up the dawn

Am                                            F
they're stilts or crutches I can't tell which one

Dm                             G
to keep the short days looking longer

Am                                             F
or to keep the sunlight from falling on broken legs

        E (let ring)
but the night's disguise is wearing thin

Chorus
E|E|---------||

Am                             C
caught me looking through your eyes

Dm               G
no I'm not doing alright

            F                       E
I'm just as stupid and desperate as I've always been

Am                  C
all the uselessness I write

Dm                     G
just come at me with a knife

              F                E
come cut this sickness from my mind

        F                        Am
help me forget about a shattered lie

          F                     Dm
bleed my failure into something right
