[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D We've been stuck out here in the hallway for way way too long D I'm at a loss, I'm at a loss, I'm losing grip, the fabric's ripped D Go back to sleep, let me drive, let me think, let me figure it out A D E D How to get us back to the place where we were when we first went out
[Chorus]
A D F#m D I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left A D F#m D I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left
[Verse 2]
D Losing parents, losing sense D I don't know what we should do D Became a father when I was still a son, she brings it out in you D See you at the end of the party with your wild white eyes D Filling up the teacup with gin in your secret postcard life
[Chorus]
A D F#m D I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left A D F#m D I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left A D F#m D I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left A D F#m D I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left

[Verse 3]
D We leave our saviors wrapped around the necks of new machines D Or at the ends of threads that hold their bodies to the ground D And then the men who look a little like they feel like me D Offered them some bottled water, then they cut them down D I came back to see if you were here, but everything was different D Your voice was low, you blended in, I could barely hear you speak D You were always my last second bright spot in the distance D Thought that you were something good D That I would always keep
[Outro]
E D I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast E D I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast E D I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast E D I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast
