  Bbm
I try to stay on top of you

                  F
To hold your body down

     Bbm                                            F
Your shaking seems to hinder every grasp that I had found

       Bbm
Moving every inch around me

                       F
To defuse your private bomb

  Bbm                                                F
I stretch myself surrounding and protecting you from harm

        Bbm                                                 F
I use a wallet for your mouth so when you bite you will not bleed

            Bbm                                              F
I drilled a wire through my cheek and let it down and out my sleeve

               Bbm                                               F
And now you're pulling out the best of me yeah, which never ever comes

     Bbm                                                    F
This wire's all that's left of me and it's hooked within my gums within my gums
[Chorus]
Bbm                          Db      C       Bbm
So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

    Eb    F Bbm                            Db      C       Bbm
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

               Eb    F
(You've got to drain it)
[Verse 2]
   Bbm                                                F
As proof to show I'd bleed for this I'd cut myself to shame

   Bbm                                              F
To get to know this masochist who's stolen my first name

   Bbm                                             F
Pretending he's a teacher holding all my weight at ease

        Bbm                                               F
But the teacher seems to split in two destroying both his knees

   Bbm                                           F
Now crawling I position myself below your broken wings

  Bbm                                                         F
I lift your feathered left arm where you hide your heart from me

        Bbm                                             F
I never noticed it was swollen with the touch of brutal pain

        Bbm                                                   F
I never knew a heart could live inside the rust from all your rain all your rain
[Chorus 2]
Bbm                          Db      C       Bbm
So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

    Eb    F Bbm                            Db      C       Bbm
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

               Eb    F
(You've got to drain it)
[Verse 3]
         Bbm
I didn't think to bring a wash cloth or to rub away the dirt

  Bbm
Myself and I, we share this barely-beating heart of hurt

             Bbm
And when the hurt comes there's an argument

                  F
A fight to save a smile

  Bbm                                           F
A small attack on human tears to dry them for a while

  Bbm                                              F
A dream we all should count on, yeah, a vision I believe

         Bbm                                          F
In where confidence is found attached to wires on our sleeve

         Bbm
In where loneliness is history

                          F
Told to pack his shit and leave

          Bbm                                           F
And where guidance is a fortune told to help in time of need

          Bbm                                         F
And where crying isn't secret, it's the art of how we grieve

    Bbm                                        F
And lessons are the key to every goal I will achieve, I will achieve
[Chorus 3]
Bbm                          Db      C       Bbm
So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

    Eb    F Bbm                            Db      C       Bbm
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

               Eb    F
(You've got to drain it)

Bbm                          Db      C       Bbm
So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

    Eb    F Bbm                            Db      C       Bbm
(So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it

               Eb    F
(You've got to drain it)
