A
The bricks get laid,

and they get torn up, and laid again,

                C#m
but the bricks always get torn up again.

A
Your friends won't wait,

so don't believe that shit, when they say they'll wait.

                C#m
Trust me; your friends will not wait for you.

C#m - B - A

                A             B7
Then you'll be stoned in some park,

                   C#m                     E
just nodding your head and pinching your arms,

                    A
when a girl walks along.

                    B7
She's humming your song,

                C#m
with your t-shirt on.

                    E
That's when you're done,

                          A
Oh, that's when you're done...

A-B2-A

A
There's a cotton crush

A
down in the southern states.

A
But back up here, man, we've got

         C#m
so much thread and space

to waste, waste, waste. C#m - B - A

A
There's a microphone

picking every word up and it shuts itself off

                           C#m
when it's sure that's its heard enough.....

               A
The quiet can scrape

                               B
all the calm from your bones,

               C#m
but maybe it should.

                     E
Maybe we need to be hollowed

                  A
to get up and grow,

                                 B
and stop fucking around,

                 C#m                            E
to kick off our braces and start straightening out.

                       A
Let's sift through the static

                   B
to find a simpler sound

                        C#m
Let's sift through the static

                   E
to find a simpler sound...

           A                B
A simpler sound, a simpler sound

C#m E

       A
simpler sound than the shit that's clouding our heads now
