Intro C  Am  Em 

C                                    Am 
It slip between your fingers, out of grasp 
        Em 
You are vain 
C                                      Am 
To hold yourself so high - you'd never match

Far from sane

If you open up yours 



C                             Am 
Even when you write an honest song 
        Em 
You are vain 
    C                              Am 
You try and pick only the greatest words

It brings you pain 

        Am      Em 
I would like to know

          Em          C 
You don't countenance me 
          G           Am 
If you're all in your head 
          Em       C 
Then I'll never be near 

  D 
A crow rests in the tree, swinging by the balcony 

It's staring right at me, I can't believe 
                G     Em         
I'm starting to break down 

D 
Just another sip, anormally, it offers me 

Some liquid, bitter, dark 

A starry night surrounding thee 
C 
No, it cannot be, my enemy, what I've become 

Voices in my head, I'm seeing red, it's made me numb 
D                                                 B5 
The fall I am about to face is now the only thing that has any  
       D5 
beauty left 
                        G     Em           
In awe with all of this break down 

C                              Am 
It takes so much to see within ourselves 
       Em 
We are vain 
C                                 Am 
Vain for living life far from our self 
           Em 
We have no names 

        Am      Em   
I would like to know

   Am              F 
To know where I'll go 
         C           Dm 
And I'll lay down my arms 
       Am      F 
If you open up yours 

         C             Dm 
When you like what you see 
          Am          F 
You don't countenance me 
          C           Dm 
If you're all in your head 
          Am       F        
Then I'll never be near
