[Verse]
Cmaj7My world astir and sickly
Bm7Spits out our Em7voices singing
Cmaj7Tra la la onD high now
Bm7To kingdom Em7come so slightly
Cmaj7Herein the void in your place
Bm7I twitch and Em7tweak in allusion
Cmaj7To sit and Dstare so blankly
Bm7Until all hope is used Em7up
[Chorus]
Cmaj7Why do I Bm7always need to Dneed you when you're fleeting
Cmaj7Where do you Bm7go when I'm Daround
Cmaj7What have I Bm7done What have I lDost that's so defeating
Cmaj7And have the Bm7nerve to wear the Dcrown
[Refrain]
Oh

[Verse]
Em7In Some dark Cmaj7room
Cmaj7A smoky figure Bm7fills me full
Bm7Makes Em7my head swell in Cmaj7ruin
My Dfamily kneels at their Bm7pew
Bm7They nod We beliEm7eve in what you're doCmaj7ing
Cmaj7I feel it Bm7rise above me
Em7The western landscapes towering
Cmaj7And from my Dshell of a body
Bm7The flowers Em7blossom for picking
[Chorus]
Cmaj7Why do I Bm7always need to Dneed you when you're fleeting
Cmaj7Where do you Bm7go when I'm Daround
Cmaj7What have I Bm7done What have I lDost that's so defeating
Cmaj7And have the Bm7nerve to wear the Dcrown
[Refrain]
Oh

[Bridge]
NC
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
NC
Don't fight it don't bother an inch for another
NC
Don't listen don't hear them they're in this together
NC
I 've learned well now hear me there's much to be fearing
NC
I'm used to your absence your faceless distraction
I've Cmaj7painted your patterns but found them attractive
Now Bm7I have been leaning towards a Em7life far more candid
Bm7Though Cmaj7led through the dark with your Deyes as my candles
Where Bm7your life and my life direEm7ctions can wrangle
And Cmaj7all of a sudden you've left me to handle
The Bm7reasons that never forEm7bid me to stand tall
Em7And Cmaj7somehow or somewhere I Dfound out the secret
To Bm7sting alive without Em7actually breathing
