CAPO 1
=============
==VERSE==
F C I really need to talk with you Dm I keep stepping on the vein Bb That keeps my lifeline flowing through. F C I wanna be your perfect stick of glue Dm But I don't feel perfect at all,
A Sad and insecure flaw
F C I find it hard to hold conversations Dm Bb I get sweaty, sick, and I wanna walk away F C No, it's not you, this is strictly me in this situation Dm I'm wondering will it ever go away? Just go away, still...
==PRE-CHORUS==
Gm Sometimes I feel like weeping F Awake and when I'm sleeping C Dm Perfecting how to put a game face on Gm This puzzle I've been keeping F Has been in hiding creeping C A Out the closet door, spilling out onto the floor;
==CHORUS==
F Am Dm F Am Dm How long will I be picking up pieces? F Am Dm Bb C How long will I be picking up my heart?
==VERSE==
F C Listen, I'll be as honest as I feel Dm I'm getting more paranoid, and I'm hearing things Bb F And they never turn out real. C It feels like my heart is made of pure steel, Dm It's just so heavy all the time.
==VERSE==
F C I'm scared of death, I'm scared of living Dm Bb I gave up on the past 'cause it's unforgiving F I misplaced my trust, C I Watched my word begin to rust, Dm I'm that balloon about to bust Bb I need a place for reliving still -
==PRE-CHORUS==
Gm Sometimes I feel like weeping F Awake and when I'm sleeping C Dm Perfecting how to put a game face on Gm And This puzzle I've been keeping F Has been in hiding creeping C A Out the closet door, spilling out onto the floor;
==CHORUS==
F Am Dm F Am Dm How long will I be picking up pieces? F Am Dm C Dm How long will I be picking up my heart?
==BRIDGE==
C Dm Be Picking up my heart? C Dm Be Picking up my heart? C Dm Be Picking up my heart? Bb Dm Picking up my heart?
Bb F C (x4)
==CHORUS/OUTRO==
F Am Dm How long (in another space in time) will I be F Am Dm Picking up pieces (in the corner of my mind?) F Am Dm How long (it's getting oh so hard to find) will I be F Am Dm Picking up pieces (in the corner of my mind?) C'mon... F Am Dm Whoah... But I still walk on...
