[Intro] Bm F# D E Bm F# D E Bm F# D E Bm F# D E [Verse]
Bm                                F#      D            E
There's a bottomless pit that we've been climbing from

        Bm                 F# D E
Just to get on level ground

Bm                 F#    D          E
Shake your seasick legs around

D                   E
Dead of winter in a logo town

Bm                 F#            D E
Signs of life are soft and flickering

       Bm            F#
Need a bed to lay my body down

D              E
Dead weight to carry down

     Bm                       F#  D E
Some static is lulling me to sleep
[Verse 2]
Bm                                 F#
Hang your clothes on a chain link fence

D              E
In a junkyard say amen

Bm                                 F#
Your mouth is full of wordless hymns

Bm        F#  D E
And run-on sentences

Bm                                F#      D
And they're helpless and forgetting in the background

   E
Holding nothing

      Bm                 F#        D
And they're youthless and pretending with their bare hands

E
Holding nothing
[Verse 3]
Bm                F#      D            E
There's a million horses dragging down a monolith

Bm                F#
With these trademarks so bereaved

D          E
Tied my leg to a barricade

Bm         F#
With a plastic hand grenade

D                E
They tried to turn emotion into noise

Bm                   F#
Need a teleprompter for my life

D            E
Need a pipeline to the night

Bm                   F#
My body can't get no relief

D                        E
And this life it goes by fast
[Verse 4]
Bm       F#      D            E
You're treading water in the past

Bm            F#            D                   E
Trying to re-animate something that you can't understand

Bm           F#            D                             E
And they're helpless and forgetting in the background saying nothing

Bm         F#                        D                    E
And he's youthless and forgetting with his bare hands touching nothing

Bm                F#           D               E
And he's helpless and forgetting in the background saying nothing

Bm                F#                D                   E
And he's youthless and pretending with his bare hands holding nothing
