 Some things you do just to see

    [D]                        [A] [Asus2]
how bad they'll make you feel.

[A]                          [Bm]
 Sometimes you try to freeze time

                         [D]              [A]          [Asus2]
til those thoughts are a blur of spinning wheels.

    [A]         [Bm]
But I am just a broken machine,

      [F#m]            [D]               [E]
and I do things that I don't really mean.

 Some people crash two or three times,

         [D]                       [A] [Asus2]
And then learn from their mistakes.

[A]                      [Bm]
 But we are the ones who don't slow down at all,

           [F#m]            [D]              [E]
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall.

           [A]
Long black night,

        [C#m]
Morning frost.

          [F#m]
I'm still here,

           [D]  [E]  
But all is lost.

And this is what you get. 

[A]                   [Bm]
 Sad and angry, can't learn how to behave.

[F#m]                        [D]             [E]
 Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave.

           [A]
Long black night,

        [C#m]
Morning frost.
