Verse: Cmaj7 My world astir and sickly Bm7Em7 Spits out our voices singing Cmaj7D Tra la la on high now Bm7Em7 To kingdom come so slightly Cmaj7 Herein the void in your place Bm7Em7 I twitch and tweak in allusion Cmaj7D To sit and stare so blankly Bm7Em7 Until all hope is used up
Chorus: Cmaj7Bm7D Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting Cmaj7Bm7D Where do you go when I'm around Cmaj7Bm7D What have I done What have I lost that's so defeating Cmaj7Bm7D And have the nerve to wear the crown
Refrain: Oh Cmaj7 Na na na na na na hey hey Bm7Em7 Na na na na na na hey hey Cmaj7D Na na na na na na hey hey Bm7Em7 Na na na na na na hey hey
Verse Em7Cmaj7 In Some dark room Cmaj7Bm7 A smoky figure fills me full Bm7Em7Cmaj7 Makes my head swell in ruin DBm7 My family kneels at their pew Bm7Em7Cmaj7 They nod We believe in what you're doing Cmaj7Bm7 I feel it rise above me Em7 The western landscapes towering Cmaj7D And from my shell of a body Bm7Em7 The flowers blossom for picking
Chorus: Cmaj7Bm7D Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting Cmaj7Bm7D Where do you go when I'm around Cmaj7Bm7D What have I done What have I lost that's so defeating Cmaj7Bm7D And have the nerve to wear the crown

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 Cmaj7 I've painted your patterns but found them attractive Bm7Em7 Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid Bm7Cmaj7D Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles Bm7Em7 Where your life and my life directions can wrangle Cmaj7 And all of a sudden you've left me to handle Bm7Em7 The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall Em7Cmaj7D And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret Bm7Em7 To sting alive without actually breathing
