G
Aren't you tired of going through the motions?

Em                          Em*  Eadd#11* Asus2*
 Is the daily grind meant to dull the    mind?

G
 I sense a window somewhere closing

Em                                   Em*  Eadd#11* Asus2*
  Somewhere in the world that I just have to      find

[Chorus]
C              Am
 The days blur   together

G
 I watch the ceiling buckle, the walls are closing in

C                            Am
 There's a black hole in the living room floor

           G                                C
That I keep  trying to ignore, but it's growing
[Interlude] C Am G* G6* G* G6* G* G* G G Em Em Eadd#11* Asus2* G G Em Em Eadd#11* Asus2* [Verse]
   G
If love is just a chemical reaction

Em                                     Em*   Eadd#11* Asus2*
 Is there a pill to take? Something to quell this    ache?

G
 Is this the real thing or a distraction?

Em                                    Em* Eadd#11* Asus2*
  Is it worth the risk? My life would de- to-     nate

[Chorus]
C               Am
 The weeks blur   together

G
 I watch the ceiling buckle, the walls are closing in

C                            Am
 There's a black hole in the living room floor

           G                                C
That I keep  trying to ignore, but it's growing
[Interlude] C Am G* G6* G* G6* G* G* [Verse 3]
C                            Am
 I'm on my way to your house,  I can't wait anymore

G
 I'm pulling in the driveway, I'm standing on your porch

C                            Am
 My knuckles hesitate an inch  away from the door

      G
What happens when it opens?

C                      Am                     G
 Even in my fantasy, I can't commit to believing

G
That I'll get what I want, I'm afraid of what I want

C                       Am
 Even in my fantasy, I keep the car running

G
 In case I need to take off
[Interlude] C Am G* G6* G* G6* G* G* [Chorus]
C                Am
 The months blur   together

G
 I watch the ceiling buckle

G                           C
 I wonder when it's caving in

C                            Am
There's a black hole in the living room floor

      G                      G           C      Am
I keep  standing on the edge and looking i~i~ in
G [Verse 4]
C                      D
 And on the other side  is another life

G                         Em ~                          C
 A version of me with a spark in her eyes that I don't have

C              D
And now she's laughing

          G                          Em ~                   C
And it's killing me that I cannot see what's making her laugh

C                D
From where I'm standing

       G
And I have to know

    Em ~        C
So, I'm going in

D                  G
   I'm going in

Em ~         N.C.
     Let's try this again
[Verse 5]
C                           D
 I'm on my way to your house, guided by the stars

G                            Em ~*                      C
 I'm pulling in the driveway,    I'm turning off the car

C                       D
I'm running to your porch, I'm sprinting up the stairs

G                               Em ~
 The door swings open and you're    standing there

       C                           D
You're  beaming down at me, you're  reaching out for me

G                          Em ~
 Pull me in your arms and I    feel your heart pounding

 C                   D
I take a step back to  catch my breath

      G                       Em ~
And we  look at each other and  double over

      C    D
And laugh

      G    Em ~
And laugh

      C    D
And laugh
