[Verse 1]
CMy world is stirring sickly
BmSpits out our voiEmces singing
C"Sha la Dla la, oh, no no,"
BmTo kingdom come sEmo slightly
CHere in the void in your place
BmI twitch and tweaEmk an illusion
CTo sit and stDare so blankly
BmUntil our hope isEm used up
[Pre-chorus]
CWhy do I alwBmays seem to nDeed you when you're fleeing?
CWhere do youBm go when I'm Daround?
CWhat have I Bmdone? What haDve I lost that's so defeating?
CAnd have theBm nerve to weaDr a crown?
[Chorus x4]
C C Bm Em
C D Bm Em
Oh
Na na na na na na, hey! hey! hey!
[Verse 2]
Some unguarded room
A smoky figure fills me full
Makes my head swell and ruin
My family kneels at the pew
They nod - 'We believe in what you're doing'
I feel you rise above me
The western landscape's towering
And from my shell of a body
The flowers blossom for picking
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus x4]
[Bridge]
**no chords**
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction
[Bridge/Chorus]
CI've painted your patterns but found them attractive
BmNow I've been leaning towaEmrds a life far more candid
CThough lead through the daDrk with your eyes as my candles
BmWhere your life and my lifEme's directions can wrangle
CAnd all of a sudden you've left me to handle
BmThe reasons that never forEmbid me to stand tall
CAnd somehow, oh somehow, ID'll find out the secret
BmTo staying alive without aEmctually breathing
