Intro: F# C#/F F# C#/F F# C#/F Bbm G# x5 F# G# Bbm 

verse 1: 
       G#  C#/F F# 
Shovel the coal in 
     C#/F F#  G# 
this fire   ignite 
        Bbm G# C#/F F# 
and conspire   Still 
        C#/F F# 
doesn't mean that 
        G#      Bbm G# 
I'm not in your head 
F# 
  I'm falling in and 
out again Slipped up 
              G# 
and cared too much 
 Bbm    F# 
again I must wake up 
move on and mend 
Instead of wasting 
        G# 
so much time here 

verse 3: 
      F# 
Cause I've grown up 
only to hate my own 
      Bbm 
bed I figure I'll 
      C# 
just sleep when I'm 
Ebm     F# 
dead Despite what you 
heard I know what I 
       Bbm 
said I understand it 
    C# 
was harsh but guess 
Ebm  F# 
what? I'm falling 
                G# 
in and out again 

Interlude: 
C#/F F# C#/F F# G# Bbm G# x2 

F# 
  Put yourself in my 
C# 
place for just one 
   Bbm 
day   Watch all the 
colors in your 
 G# 
spectrum fade grey 
F#                C# 
  More aware than ever 
             Bbm 
that I might never 
   G#        F# 
be calm again  And it 
       C# 
shakes every fucking 
Bbm 
bone Trying to do the 
G#                F# 
right thing on my own 
             C# 
So I let the ink tell 
          Bbm 
you how I come to grips 
     G#         F# Bbm 
with all of this 
I'm getting too 
G#          F# Bbm G# 
old for this 



verse 3: 
F# 
  What do you know 
   Bbm 
my shoes are my own 
          F# 
Tread the granite 
till you find 
     Bbm 
some kind of place 
            F# C#/F F# C#/F F# C# (hold) 
to call home 

F# 
  Put yourself in my 
C# 
place for just one 
   Bbm 
day   Watch all the 
colors in your 
 G# 
spectrum fade grey 
F#                C# 
  More aware than ever 
             Bbm 
that I might never 
   G#        F# 
be calm again  And it 
       C# 
shakes every fucking 
Bbm 
bone Trying to do the 
G#                F# 
right thing on my own 
             C# 
So I let the ink tell 
          Bbm 
you how I come to grips 
     G#         F# 
with all of this

Outro: 
F# 
  We're never gonna 
C#/F   F#        C#/F 
be the same again 
F#     C#/F Bbm 
Bury me I'm not 
     G#    F# 
your friend  You 
have your sword 
C#/F F#        C#/F 
I've got my pen 
F#        C#/F 
Measuring might 
     Bbm 
is a means to an 
G# F# 
end  We're never 
      C#/F   F# 
gonna be the same 
     C#/F F# 
again     Bury me 
C#/F Bbm  G#    F# C#/F F# C#/F

         C#/F 
Not broke  
Bbm     G#  F# (hold)
