PART I
[Intro]
F#m7 E Bm7
On my first day out, my familiar town
D C#m7
Felt the same as in my dreams
F#m7 E Bm7
Crying in my sleep, when the sun came down
D C#m7
Thinking “I am cured, it seems,” but
Bm7 F#m7
I don't know my name at all
Bm7 F#m7(F#sus4)
But what else is new
Bm7 D F#m7
Should I show my pain at all?
Bm7 D F#m7
If you only knew
Bm7
You could try to help
D C#m7 F#m7
Care is imprecise
Bm7
All that I have left
D C#m7 F#m7
Pills and good advice
[instrumental]
D F#m Bm E
D F#m Bm E
[Bridge 1]
D
(I need to steal something)
F#m
(I need to feel something)
Bm
(I need to dream something)
E
(I need to be something)
D
(I need to get better)
F#m
(I got to get better)
Bm
(I used to be better)
E
(But I could never be them again)
[Verse 1]
D F#m7 Bm7
Cure me if you can
E D
Say I’ll be okay
F#m7 Bm7 E
I don't mind if it's a lie
D F#m7 Bm7
I can burn this bridge
E D
It could be today
F#m7 Bm7 E
But you’d know the reason why
(Where are you right now?)
[Chorus 1]
Bm7 F#m7
Please hold me down
Bm7 F#m7 E E
Please let me drown
Bm7 F#m7
Please hold me down
Bm7 F#m7 E E
Please let me drown
[Verse 2]
Bm7
I know that something's missing
F#m7 E
Or rather, something else is there
Bm7
I spend the day existing
F#m7 E
You spend it being unaware
Bm7
The times I wake up smiling
F#m7 E
Feel like I'm making fun of you
Bm7
I left the ER crying
F#m7 E
So what's the use in trying now?
[Chorus 1]
Bm7 F#m7
Please let me down
Bm7 F#m7 E E
Don't let me drown
Bm7 F#m7
Please let me down
Bm7 F#m7 E E
Don't let me drown
[Bridge 1]
Bm7
I need to steal something
Bm7
I need to feel something
F#m7
I need to dream something
F#m7
I need to be something
Bm7
I need to get better
Bm7
I got to get better
F#m7
I used to be better
E Bm7
But I could never be them again
[Verse 3]
I need a sign and I'll be fine
F#m7 E
The straighter the line, the more it's manmade
Bm7
Circles confine us by design
F#m7 E
But at least the 3D printer’s handmade
Bm7
I need a sine and I’ll be fine
F#m7 E
The straighter the line, the more it's manmade
Bm7
Circles confine us by design
F#m7 E
But at least the 3D printer’s handmade
[Chorus 2]
Bm7
I've been building off of you
F#m7 E
I've been texting on the freeway just to talk to you
Bm7
And I know you wouldn't want me to
F#m7 E
But I know if any later, you won’t follow through
Yeah
[Bridge 2]
D E
And I have noticed you've had it hard
F#m7 A E
Even since the attack
D E
And I would take you up to the stars
F#m7 A E
If I knew you'd be back
D E
And I have noticed you've had it hard
F#m7 A E
Even since the attack
D E
And I would take you up to the stars
F#m7 A E
If I knew you'd be back
D
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
F#m
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
D
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
F#m
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
D
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
F#m
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
D
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
F#m
(Middle-ay, middle-ay o)
E
(Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o)
D E
And even though I know it's been hard
F#m7
I could never go back
PART II
[Instrumental]
F#m D D C#m
[Verse 4]
F#m7 D
If everything were better
E
Then I'm sure I'd be
C#m7
A little less emotional
F#m7 D
I never really understood
E
What's wrong with me
C#m7
Or why I'm unapproachable
F#m7 D E
But every time I close my eyes
C#m7 C#m
You're lookin' quite like my mirror
F#m7 D
I'm plagiarizing everything
E
Stuttering soliloquies
C#m7 C#m
Who am I again? (Who are you again?)
F#m7 D E C#m7
Is this the storm before the calm?
F#m7 D E C#m7
Is it the clock, or just the ticking of the bomb?
F#m7 D E C#m7
We sacrifice what we both need
F#m7 D E C#m7
But if I fight for you then how do we proceed?
F#m7 D E C#m7
And if you fight for me then how do we proceed?
F#m7
And if we fight again then how do we proceed?
[Instrumental]
F#m7 D E C#m7
F#m7 D E C#m7
F#m7 D E C#m7
F#m7 D E C#m7
[Chorus 2]
F#m7 D
I've been building off of you
E C#m7
I've been texting on the freeway just to talk to you
F#m7 D
And I know you wouldn't want me to
E C#m7
But I know if any later, you won't follow through
Yeah
F#m7 D
I've been building off of you
E C#m7
I've been texting on the freeway just to talk to you
F#m7 D
And I know you wouldn't want me to
E C#m7
But I know if any later, you won't follow through
PART III
[Bridge 3]
N.C.
So now I'm telling ‘em
Bm7 C#m7 D E C#m7 C#m7 Cm7
Do you understand?
Bm7 C#m7 D E C#m7 C#m7 Cm7
Do you understand?
Bm7 C#m7 D E C#m7 C#m7 Cm7
Do you understand?
Bm7 C#m7 F#m7
'Cause right now, doesn't seem like you can
[Verse 5]
F#m G# A Bm F#m G# A Bm
Start to climb, and then I get a little higher
F#m G# A Bm F#m G# A Bm
I'm a coward, it don't matter what I do (Higher)
F#m G# A Bm F#m G# A Bm
From “I can't do it anymore” to “I can't do it, I can't do it,”
C#m7
Told myself I wanna die
D
So how am I supposed to prove it now?
F#m G# A Bm F#m G# A Bm
Spend too many of my minutes getting higher (Higher)
F#m G# A Bm F#m G# A Bm
I've attempted way too much to even count (Higher)
F#m G# A Bm F#m G# A Bm
I've been committed, but committed to the people that I love
C#m7 C#m7 A
And if I try to love myself, I guess that I could live forever crying
[Instrumental]
A C#m7 Bm7 E
Bm7 E Bm7 E
[Chorus 3]
A C#m7 Bm7 E
So don't cry for me
Bm7 E
For I've found peace in the madness
Bm7 E
Peace in the madness
A C#m7 F#m7 E
Don't cry for me
Bm7 E
For I've found peace in the madness
Bm7 E
Peace in the madness
Again
A C#m7 Bm7 E
(Don't cry for me)
Bm7 E
(For I've found peace in the madness)
Bm7 E
(Peace in the madness)
A C#m7 Bm7 E
(Don't cry for me)
Bm7 E
(For I've found peace in the madness)
Bm7 E
(Peace in the madness)
F#m7
For now
[Outro]
F#m7
But on my last day out
E Bm7
Let me scream to God
D E C#m7 Bm7
Family, friends, and enemies
D F#m7
So what happens next?
E Bm7
Is this what you want?
C#m7 Bm7 E
All I am is dead to me
So
F#m7 C#m7
I can't hear my voice at all
F#m7 C#m7
What was I to do?
F#m7 C#m7
Did I have a choice at all?
F#m7 C#m7 D
Seems I never do
D Bm7
You could try to help
D F#m7
Care is imprecise
Bm7
All that I'd have left
D C#m7 F#m7
Pills and good advice
F#m7 Bm7
I could try to heal
D E. F#m7
Care is imprecise
Bm7
All that you'd have left are
