Tom : G
B Am G G2
I was caught inside the wreck
D G
Never found my way out
F#m E
I was filled with indifference
B G#m G G2
The animals were getting tired
D G
So I sang them a song
F#m E
'cause they promised not to take too long
B Am G G2
I can't find my way back home
D G
I'll listen to you if you want me to
F#m G
But you have to share a smoke
B G#m G G2
Yeah I've been running against the wind
D G
And I can't hear the angels calling
F#m G
The madness has been pulling me right
Em
Back out of my stride
F#m
I feel the change in the rising tide and
Em
Blood is in the room
F#m D
I buried all my wrongs there with my youth
( D ) G F#m
(Don't give up on me now)
D
I'm on the outside
( D ) G F#m
(Don't give up on me now)
B Am G G2 D G F#m E
And I'm falling apart
B Am G G2
Well please to meet you, excuse my hands
D G
I've been bitten by an enemy
F#m G
That's pretended to be my friend
B G#m G
No I never wanted to be like them
G2 D
I thought I was just too clever
G F#m G
To be brought down to their level of misfortuned chagrin
B Am G
I don't care about what it's worth
G2 D G
But if you lift this burden off my back
F#m E
I'll follow you to the bloody end
B G#m G
I've lived my life the way I want
G2 D G
But no one can tell me they're not afraid
F#m G
Of the freedom of deliverance
Em
Well I take it all in stride
F#m
I feel the change in the rising tide
Em
And someone's in the room
F#m G
I buried all my guilt there with my youth
( D ) G F#m
(Don't give up on me now)
D
I'm on the outside
( D ) G F#m
(Don't give up on me now)
D
But it's warm on the outside
( D ) G F#m
(Don't give up on me now)
G
That's a lie
A B
I don't wanna fall apart
Interlude 2x: B Am G G2 D G F#m G
B Am
Yeah well me? I've been afraid
G G2
I clawed and I fought like hell
D G F#m
The darkest days upon you
G B Am
Yeah well me? I've gone astray
G G2
My blood was turning to sand
D G F#m
The darkest days upon you
G D Am
Yeah well me? I've been afraid
G G2
The numbness was getting closer
D G F#m
The feverish days upon you
Ending: B/E G B
