Tune this a half step down
[INTRO]
C#m E A
Outline of a storyboard with no idea
C#m E
Head first in the shallow end

I apologize if I do not care
[INSTRUMENTAL]
C#m E A (x4)
E A G#m A
[VERSE 1]
C#m E
Busy hands keep swimming
A C#m E
They don't like swallowing to the abstract motor
A
"Gotta make that motor hum, gotta make it run."
C#m E A
Forward seems like forever when "ever" is hand over hand over hand
C#m E
The busy hands keep swimming
A
Gotta make that motor "hum"
Get it over and done
[CHORUS]
E A
So much for the autographs
G#m A B
So much for apologies
E A G#m A B
So much for the promises I never intended to keep
E A
How does it all add up?
G#m A B
How does the story end?
E A
I can't let go
G#m A B
I can't pretend
[INSTRUMENTAL]
C#m E A
[VERSE 2]
C#m E
Very I'm so friendly
A
Very I'm so halloween
C#m E
So this is what I wanted
A
Gotta keep those channels clean and other sobering themes
C#m E
I'm drowning by numbers
A
my halo is bent
it's a fat fucking lie
C#m E
and so the abstract motor gives in
A
it says "At least I tried."
At least I tried.
[CHORUS]
E A
So much for the autographs
G#m A B
So much for apologies
E A G#m A B
So much for the promises I never intended to keep
E A
How does it all add up?
G#m A B
How does the story end?
E A
I can't let go (I can't let go)
G#m A B
I can't pretend
E A
I can't let go (I can't let go)
G#m A B
I can't pretend
