Holt's above my hideout

I dug this hole beneath the floorboards

Buzzing bad and locked in

Counting numbered days

Looking for some inspired land

Lining dirty parking lots in Ottawa

Daytime
When every second of sun's the same

What's the point of staying awake?

F Am G F
F Am Gm* D5/F#
[Verse 2]
F (palm mute)
Your hands are out and I see
Am (palm mute) Gm* (palm mute)
You're asking me for a vowel but I am weak and I am stubborn
G7m (palm mute)
So I'll say "This is all I have right now"
E5/G# (palm mute)
But I want to make something good
Am* (palm mute)
I want to make something better
F (palm mute)
Something that cannot leave the ground
F (let ring)
Unless we lift it up together
[Chorus]
C G
Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away
Am F
But pretending we feel safe right here gets harder every day
C
It's a note to self mislaid
G Am
You ate the words you always used to say
G F
There will be no more fucking around today
[Breakdown]
*let each chord ring except the E. I quickly transition from E to Gm when I play this*
Am F E Gm* Gm* F E Gm*
[Verse 3]
Am F G F
Drunk and worthless, spewing bullshit all across the stage
Am F
Wake up and we find new hiding places
G F
Trying desperately to escape
G Am* B*
The glare from our stupid, spineless
(I don't believe you, you're all the same)
C* G* C* G
Words just whining, every fucking day
F
What do I really want to say?
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away
Am F
But pretending we feel safe right here gets harder every day
C
It's a note to self mislaid
G Am
You ate the words you always used to say
G F
There will be no more fucking around today
