Relient K – Maintain Consciousness (Guitar)

G          A              C              G
 Our concentration, it contains a deadly flaw

G          A                   C                     D
 Our conversations change from words to "Blah, blah, blah"

G           A                    C                  G
 We took prescription drugs, but look how much good that did

G                A                C             D
 Well, I think I had a point, but I just got distracted

       G      C       G
'Cause lately it just seems to me

           G       C       D
Like we've got the letters A.D.D

        G    C     G   D
Branded into our mentality

          C              Em D
We simply can't focus on anything

             G       A
Because it's 17, 18, 19 routine

    C                    G
And here at 23, it's the same old me

        G                            A
And the one thing in the moment that we all happen to like

          C                 G
Will only very temporarily, kinda break the cycle

       G      A             C  D
Of the double-edged sword

         G A            C       D
Of being lazy and being bored

             G         A         C     D
We just want more, and more, and more

           G      A     C      D
Until it's all we can afford

   G                           C
To keep our eyes open for just one more day

   G                         Eb7
To keep on hoping that we'll stumble on our way

   Em                           G         D
To keep our minds open for just one more day

               C
'Cause it's completely up to us

   D                       G  A   G  A  Em
To maintain consciousness

Em                    A
  No one can possibly listen to this

C                           G
 More than 4 reps is just monotonous

             Em
We're losing interest

       A
Losing interest

       C
Losing interest

             G       A
Because it's 17, 18, 19 routine

    C                    G
