CAPO 5
F#m D
The problem I have with the soul contraption
A E Bm
Swallowed up slowly like a bad reaction
F#m D
All around what you do and say
A E Bm
Well the symptom falls further away
F#m D
You live in silence but you can't describe it
A E Bm
So what's the point of talking at all?
F#m D
The store bought injury.. the family cane
A E Bm
Just another boy bad at the game
F#m D A E Bm
This is when you need a friend to keep you moving around
F#m D
'Cause all your thinking has made you slow
A E Bm
You might be stopping out.. you know
AFrustrated fireworks F#minside your head
F#m D
There's a lit fuse smoking.. you caught instead
AWhat you're dealing..F#m but it's just a start
F#m D
Was a time since your problem was a poison dart
AAnd you act like a coF#mwboy.. whatever's in my hat
F#m D
I'm a hardboiled hero and I'm not so bad
ABut I didn't know wheF#mn to run from this
F#m D
A proud fan is gonna see you shatter
A E Bm
I know that there really isn't anything the matter
F#m D
Nothing is gonna be crying words..
A E Bm
They only want their voice to be heard
F#m D
They use it sometimes to show that they're around
A E Bm
Or they build you up a theory like the walls of a town
F#m D
A tired and ancient ruler right now..
A E Bm
The neighborhood slaves are hardly skilled
AOpen your parachute aF#mnd drop your weight
F#m D
Float on down to the center and investigate
AI did my self requireF#mment
F#m D
Better cop out hard or I'll leave right now
A'Cause this feeling oF#mf loving I felt it in my chest
F#m D
Like the nighttime footsteps of an unknown guest
AI know it wasn't me..F#m I wasn't moving..
F#m D
I felt thunder.. the rain was pouring
A E Bm
I know it must be something wrong all this is restoring
F#m D
You don't have to live in a life's mistake
A E A
Stay in the center and wait
A E A
Stay in the center and wait
A E Bm
Stay in the center and wait.
