The Staves

[Intro] G7M  C  G7M  C 

G7M
Oh, my God
             C
It's been so long
         G7M
I'm a passenger, satellite
              C
Still hanging on

D         Em          C
Man, am I terrified?
D            Em          C
'Least I can say that I tried
D         Em          C      F
Man, am I burning alive?
Em             D
What have I become?
D                          G7M
Sadness don't own me for long

( G7M  C  G7M  C )

G7M                     C
All that time, over too soon
            G7M  
And there's panic rising up, spilling out
              C
Eclipsing the moon
G7M
Deep, deep, down
             C
Getting back up
G7M
Check your jacket pocket

Check your jeans
               C
But it's not enough

D         Em        C
Man, am I terrified?
(Take it all away)
D            Em         C
'Least I can say that I tried
(When I'm still the same)
D              Em   C    F
Man, am I burning alive?
Em            D
What have I become?
D                            G7M
Oh, sadness don't own me for long
(Own me for long)

( G7M  C  G7M  C )
( D  Em  C )
( D  Em  C )
( F )

Em            D
What have I become?
D                            G7M
Oh, sadness don't own me for long
(Own me for long)
