Intro: DBmGA
DABm Like a child I can sit in the corner GDA with these pills I can barely get by DABm so I wait for the hour of approval GAD ten minutes until it's five
DABm And it's Friday, so I don't feel so lonely GDA I know the wolves are out tonight DABm the sound of ice in a bottomless glass GAD tells me that all that is fine
[chorus] BmG Playing guitar and I'm forgetting words DA like a baby who just learned to speak BmG unfinished songs that I swear I'd get done DA but the premise was just kind of weak
DABm Like the moon you are cold, you are distant GDA like the sun I can burn through the day DABm in the valley the echo gets longer GAD they've all gone away
[chorus] BmG Playing guitar and I'm forgetting words DA like a baby who just learned to speak BmG unfinished songs that I swear I'd get done DA but the premise was just kind of weak
(softly) DABm There is time to reflect and ponder GDA as the chips fall where they may DABm I will live for the sake of others GAD so they can do the same

GC Pretty, perfect houses all lined up and stripped away GD Of any words that they had to say of anything that is true
GC She put a sign out on her lawn that said that she's speakin' up G But that god damn schedule just won't let up EmD And bills, they don't bend or even move
- Chorus:
CDGEm She says "I'm just burnin' time, let myself unwind till my life comes undone" CDG If you're looking for losses to win you've already won
CDGEm She says "I'm just burnin' time, let myself unwind till my life comes undone" CDG If you're looking for losses to win you've already won

Intro: GCGCGCGC
G Suffocating every breath you take Am Building up a tower just to break C Hold my breath till I turn blue G C-G-C Sincerity's the former strongest suit
G Ordinary circumstances that Am Could never be seen from where you are C In a room as small as this D I didn't think that you could seem so far
AmC So I make my rounds to the lower ground EmC With a message late to send AmC I don't think it's worth the time D G-C-G-C-G-C-G-C To make amends
G Winter comes and goes without a word Am Spring quiets the bad things that I heard C Summer is a happy time D Most certainly the fall will divide
AmC So you operate with an open heart EmC You forgot to stitch again AmC I don't think it's worth the time D G-C-G-C-G-C-G-C (End G) To make amends
