[Verse 1]
Dm G
Can you hear the birds cry
C F
At your own funeral?
Dm G
They won't smile, they won't grin,
C F
They will just follow you
Dm G
In your head, in your head
C F
No disturbance no more
Dm G
In your head, in your head
C F
The choir has run out of young boys
[Chorus]
Am F
16 hours ago, you said
C F
Follow my lead while I play dead
Am F
16 days ago, in bed
C F
Making up promises in your head
C F
Please
Am G
Follow your head and not your heart
C F
Please
Am G
It has been wrong right from the start
[Bridge]
F C
And it takes a while, to watch the ship go down
F C
Yes, it takes a while to burn right to the ground
[Verse 2]
Dm G
Can you hear yourself lie
C F
Or are you oblivious?
Dm G
We are right here, right now
C F
But they have all flown away
Dm G
In your head, in your head
C F
It's always someone, but not you
Dm G
In your head, in your head
C F
The shouting stopped, now it's just you
[Chorus]
Am F
16 hours ago, you said
C F
Follow my lead while I play dead
Am F
16 days ago, in bed
C F
Making up promises in your head
C F
Please
Am G
Follow your head and not your heart
C F
Please
Am G
It has been wrong right from the start
[Outro]
F C
And it takes a while, to watch the ship go down
F C
Yes, it takes a while to burn right to the ground
F C
Just try your best to keep from getting drowned
F C
Yes, it takes a while, but someday you'll be found
