You must believe to hear me sing these
G7 G6
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
G6 G
Oh it's painful kneading

Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles

That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
G6 G
Why do they all look like me?

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh

If I had hands I'd hold up high

My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name

But I have no strength

So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
G G7
There's a ghost in your eye
G7 G6
There is someone that knows more than I
G
But I'm quick to deny
Chorus:
G Am C G
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh

Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
When I came down the dawn poured into me
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
I shook 'em up, the walls came crumbling
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
My thin skin trembling with these salty wounds
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face

I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace

Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
My face blew up at such a casual sight
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
The rush above me to oblivion
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
Outlining wet sidewalks with halogen
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
Oh have you ever felt so goddamned strong?
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
How come it takes some people so damn long
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
Bb C Gm9 Am7 Bb
The citrus drawing out the scene it stains
Pre-Chorus:
F Bb
Watch the basin drain
Bb Dm
As your life lines wane
Dm C
And you cant explain
C Bb
As your friends complain
F Bb
You've caused all this pain
Bb Dm
And you proudly shame

Your whole family's name

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Bridge:
Bb F
Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
F C
staring at the stars on your ceiling
C Dm
Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
Dm C
And now I've hit the mark
C Am
Stabbing at the dark
Am Dm C Bb
And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars
Chorus:
Bb F
Let this be our little secret
C Dm
No one needs to know we're feeling
Bb C
Higher and higher and higher
Am Dm
Higher and higher and higher
Dm Bb F
But I feel alive and I feel it in me

Verse:
Cmaj7
My world astir and sickly
Bm7 Em7
Spits out our voices singing,
Cmaj7 D
"Tra la la" on high now
Bm7 Em7
To kingdom come so slightly.
Cmaj7
Herein the void in your place,
Bm7 Em7
I twitch and tweak in allusion
Cmaj7 D
To sit and stare so blankly
Bm7 Em7
Until all hope is used up
Chorus:

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?

Verse
Em7 Cmaj7
In Some dark room:
Cmaj7 Bm7
A smoky figure fills me full,
Bm7 Em7 Cmaj7
Makes my head swell in ruin.
D Bm7
My family kneels at their pew,
Bm7 Em7 Cmaj7
They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"
Cmaj7 Bm7
I feel it rise above me,
Em7
The western landscapes towering,
Cmaj7 D
And from my shell of a body
Bm7 Em7
The flowers blossom for picking.
Chorus:
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
Where do you go when I'm around?

Bridge:
N.C.
I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
N.C.
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
N.C.
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
N.C.
I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
N.C.
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
Cmaj7
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive.
Bm7 Em7
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid,
Bm7 Cmaj7 D
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
Bm7 Em7
Where your life, and my life, directions can wrangle.
Cmaj7
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
Bm7 Em7
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall.
Em7 Cmaj7 D
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
Bm7 Em7
To sting alive without actually breathing.

There is someone that knows more than I

My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb

The citrus drawing out the scene it stains

They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"

The western landscapes towering,

The flowers blossom for picking.

N.C.
I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
N.C.
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
N.C.
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
N.C.
I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
N.C.
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
Cmaj7
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive.
Bm7 Em7
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid,
Bm7 Cmaj7 D
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
Bm7 Em7
Where your life, and my life, directions can wrangle.
Cmaj7
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
Bm7 Em7
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall.
Em7 Cmaj7 D
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
Bm7 Em7
To sting alive without actually breathing.
