F G C F
F G C F
Interesting up there, all seems so safe

Tell me, tell me what to understand

Find a job, find a plan, find a home, find a dog
Dm G
Settle down, out of town
C F
Find a dream, shut it down!

F G
Please, please don't point it that way
C F
It's just a trigger and you're the worst and you'll be unafraid
F G C F

F G C F
The silence that you brought is gone, gone, gone

Show me, show me, show me

Settle down, out of town

Find a dream, shut it down!

I don't wanna be in bed without your lovely rose

I waited for your loss
