The Airborne Toxic Event – Carry Me (Guitar)

C     Am               F             G                  Am
Carry me somewhere far away from the noise on this damn TV

           F           G                C
From the needle and the spoon in front of me

                         Am                  F
These straps across my chest make it hard to breathe

            G
And I can’t see

                        Am
Through all these silhouettes

                     F
Can’t they just let me be?

         G                       C
Wait and see when the drugs take effect

                   Am
In the sky I see a sun

                     F
But I don’t feel the warmth

     G     Am
From it or anyone

                 F
I’m too tired to think

      G       C
Too tired to run

F                                        C
But I don’t know what I’m trying to run from

F                            G
All I know is I need to be someone

C                   Am
Take these arms of mine

                  F
Tell them what to do

           G               Am
Tell them how to pass the time

        F     G                C
Put a charm upon this life of mine

                        Am
And take this heart of mine

                F
Tell it who to love

         G     Am
Who to leave behind

                 F          G                C
Tell it who to trust with these thoughts of mine

F                                         C
But I don’t know what I’m trying to run from

F                             G
All I know is I need to be someone

         Am    G   F
Who can laugh out loud

        Am    G  F
Who can stand a crowd

           Am G   Am            F                       G                 C
Who can sleep without these nightmares, nightmares, nightmares screaming out

         Am
So carry me

               F               G                          Am
Somewhere far away from this life that’s waiting here for me

                   F
Give me something new

                  G
I need something new

              Am
That I can believe

                 F
Just something true

                G           C
Please tell me who I got to be

F                                             C
But I don’t know where that’s going to come from

F                            G
All I know is I need to be someone

          F    G   Am
Who can take this pain

          F    G      Am
Who can clean these veins

          F    G    Am   G
Who can make this change

                     F
Because I know I’ll die

   G                       C
If I ever come back here again
