Chords

[Intro] Bm E A [Verse 1]
Em
It's only illusions, It's only an ebb and flow

D
It's only a re-run, It's only a so and so

C
It's only a glimpse now, It's only a glancing blow

Em
It's only a mind game, It's only rock and roll

D
It's only allegiance, It's only heart and soul

C
Just tell me a lie now, Just tell me you can't let go

Em
It's only illusions

Em
It's only illusions
[Chorus]
Am            D
My mind is at war

               Em
I lie awake in bed

                      C
Like a splinter in my hand

                      Am
Like a splinter in my head

                D
The promises we swore

                      Em
And every word you've said

                      C
Like a splinter in my hand

                      Bm   E   A
Like a splinter in my head
[Verse 2]
Em
Don't worry, Pedro, Don't tell me, I think I know

D
'Cause I'm on the payroll, The cursed kaleidoscope

C
Am I the pollution?, Am I the foregone conclusion?

Em
It's only illusionn,

Em
It's only illusions
[Chorus]
Am            D
My mind is at war

               Em
I lie awake in bed

                      C
Like a splinter in my hand

                      Am
Like a splinter in my head

                D
The promises we swore

                      Em
And every word you've said

                      C
Like a splinter in my hand

                      Am   A   D  Bm
Like a splinter in my head
[Bridge]
Em
It's only illusions

A
It's only illusions

D
It's only illusions

Bm                    Am D Bm Em
It's only de-evolution

Am                         Bm               N.C.
Who can take these broken splinters from my head?
[Chorus]
Am            D
My mind is at war

               Em
I lie awake in bed

                      C
Like a splinter in my hand

                      Am
Like a splinter in my head

                D
The promises we swore

                      Em
And every word you've said

                      C
Like a splinter in my hand

                      Am
Like a splinter in my head
[Outro]
Am
It's only illusion

D
It's only illusion

Em
In all this confusion

C
I start to forget what I'm doing

Am
It's only a splinter in my head

D
It's only a splinter in my head

Em                 C
It's only illusion
