[Verse 1]
F#m                  A               E
Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun

F#m               A      E
To understand my, my intimate is no one

F#m                        A         E
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?

F#m                           E       F#m
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights
[Chorus]
A          E             F#m
This is my line, this is eternal (How did I ever end up here?)

A     E           F#m
Discarnate, preternatural (My prayers to disappear)

A         E                  F#m
Absent of grace, marked as infernal (Ungranted in dead time, left me disowned)

A       E/Ab       F#m
To this nature, so unnatural (I remain alone)
(Intro Riff x 2) [Verse 2]
F#m                   A              E
Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues

F#m               A          E
Such revelations, while understood by no one

F#m                          A         E
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?

F#m                            E        F#m
Please clear this house of ill-acquired taste
[Chorus]
A          E             F#m
This is my line, this is eternal (How did I ever end up here?)

A     E           F#m
Discarnate, preternatural (My prayers to disappear)

A         E                  F#m
Absent of grace, marked as infernal (Ungranted in dead time, left me disowned)

A       E/Ab       F#m
To this nature, so unnatural (I remain alone)

F#m     E          Aadd4/D Bm
Give me something, give me something

F#m     E          Aadd4/D Bm
Give me something, give me something

F#m     E          Aadd4/D Bm        F#m
Give me something, give me something real
[Bridge 2]
  F#m        B                 Db/F        F#m
I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle

F#m       B                   Db/F     F#m
Everyday, another small piece can't be found

  F#m        B                 Db/F      F#m
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow

    F#m                    B
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit

Db/F            F#m
Pieced together incomplete and empty
[Chorus]
A          E             F#m
This is my line, this is eternal (How did I ever end up here?)

A     E           F#m
Discarnate, preternatural (My prayers to disappear)

A         E                  F#m
Absent of grace, marked as infernal (Ungranted in dead time, left me disowned)

A       E/Ab       F#m
To this nature, so unnatural (I remain alone)
