G5 G 


 
Gm                          Am 
Hour five of driving and my head is held askew 
      Em                                   D 
Every time I cross the roadside, it always feels a bit too soon 
      G              Gm                   Am 
Not a single thought inside me that isn't burned with self-abuse 
         Em                           D 
And if I couldn't even help myself, I wonder what's the use? 
Gm                        F 
Windows echo phonemes out towards our point of view 
           D#             C               D# 
Watch them falling on the outer roads all beaten black and blue 
        Gm                                F 
I could talk you deaf for hours, god, I'd give my world to you 
     D# 
So remember, all I wanna do 
              D 
Is to see you riding off the other way and drifting out of view 



            G                           Am 
Sometimes I beat myself to death over a pastime 
         Em                            D 
I keep a bullet with my name against my  head 
               G                                  C 
From fourth to fifth I feel the seatbelt crush my insides 
           Em                         D 
And wonder how it's gonna feel when I am 
 

 
Cm         F                      A# 
Baby, do I know what it's like to fear 
                    Gm              Cm 
Just living for the day you can disappear 
                Cm                F        A# 
'Cause damn it, anywhere's better off than here 

G 

Cm                                     F       A# 
  But I don't think you know what it's like to die 
                   G                     D# 
To see the sparkle fade from inside your eye 
                                     D 
So if it's up to me, you won't learn this time 
 

 
G                               Am 
Wheels slide on pavement down a road I've never known 
            Em                           D 
I dragged a knife upon my everything and carved the meat to bone 
        G                            Am 
I wanna cut myself to pieces, rend myself with sticks and stone 
         Em 
But if I kill myself tomorrow 
           D 
I wouldn't ha                   ave the chance to know 


N.C. 
Let the bass go! 

(break for a few measures) 
 

 
N.C. 
Sitting down in silence, I approach the speed of sound 
       G5                      A#         C 
All my ignorance made manifest   like raindrops falling down 
A#              D#maj7     D#              G 
Peel my body off   the pavement, set in concrete, solid ground 
                  C                 A#   C                    A# 
"What's the point in loving anything  if you won't be around?" 
  D#                                   D         G 
Awful thoughts might break me, so I simply stare in awe 
           C                    A#               C 
All the tensions hit a fever pitch, and then the chord resolves 
A#     D#maj7             D#       D                 G 
On the outside of myself, a eulogy and constant pall 
        C                          A#          C 
My companion staring down the edge and wishing she could fall 
                                                           (And wishing I could fall) 
A#        D#maj7                          F 
"What the hell  is wrong with me?" I spit towards the light 
             Cm                    C 
I can't hear the words I wanna hear  if I let go of life 
A#       D#maj7                              D 
So I sit and  watch in silence with my heart and appetite 
            Gm 
Knowing all that I could ever want 
     D          G                   N.C. 
(All I wanna do is to do you right) 

G Dm Gm 

D5 

(Dream together, we can) 
 

 
Gmaj7              G                   Am 
      Baby, do you know what you wanna hear? 
                                                Em 
'Cause you can say the word, make it all so clear 
                                         Em 
Or you can sit around, watch it disappear 
Gmaj7                                        Am 
      So darling, do you know what you wanna say? 
                 Em 
It only takes an instant to slip away 
                                           Em 
But if you grab ahold, let the message play 
 

 
G Gmaj7                              Am 
   I'm not scared of dying, I'm just scared of running dry 
        Em                                D 
I wanna save myself from sorrow, thinking pain is justified 
         G     Gmaj7                  Am 
And if I leave this  mortal coil, I deserve to feel some pride 
        Dm   Em                       D 
I don't want to die tomorrow, I wanna live my fucking life 
          G   Gmaj7 
I want to fly 

{Solo} 

Am    Em   D 

              Gmaj7 
I don't wanna die 

Am   Dm Em     D 
 

 
D#maj7                             F 
Drop  on out the atmosphere, we'll dance the night away 
           Cm 
You've got far too many colors for some hopeless shade of grey 
          D#maj7                               F 
Where the clouds that block  the sun out never seem to overstay 
         Cm 
Find the northern star and navigate 
D 
Grab that wheel and break away!

Outro 
Bm              Em           Fmaj7 
Hour nine of driving and I'm hopelessly askew 
      Cmaj7                               Bm 
Every time I greet the cliffside, I never seem to follow through 
Am7                           D7         D 
So when I turn myself around, I hope I'm facing you
