[Verse 1]
D                        A
This body's closed until further notice

Bm                               G
Wandering too close will get you nowhere fast

D                                      A
I'm looking for an option that won't involve you at all

             Bm                        G
Some help to hoist my sail off of it's mast
[Chorus]
         G
And it's haunting me, but I feel fine

Bm
War of worlds in real time

G                                 Bm               A
Better off signing a truce that's drawn up in your name

G
But I hope you go home and admit you

Bm
Were wrong for the stress you put me through

G
Free me from the anchor

             Bm              A         G
Depart these seas and let me do what I have to do

   D                     A                     Bm                    G

[Verse 2]
D                           A
Am I so wrong to think that you are too?

      Bm                             G
Is it safe to be a pawn when all the rooks close in on you

  D                           A
I used to be afraid of time before I grew

    Bm
The sands will slip and the pain will grip

        G
And the guilt will trip all over you
[Chorus]
         G
And it's haunting me, but I feel fine

Bm
War of worlds in real time

G                                 Bm               A
Better off signing a truce that's drawn up in your name

G
But I hope you go home and admit you

Bm
Were wrong for the stress you put me through

G
Free me from the anchor
Bm A G(hold) Depart these seas and let me do what I have to

D G Bm A (you can only really hear the D here) G D Bm A (and here the drum beats each new chord) [Bridge]
D
Running around in circles

    G
The path I always choose

  Bm
I hate that I can't accept anything more

         A
Than the worn out soles of my shoes

     G
Just say something back

    D
And cut me some slack

    Bm
Headstrong in the world

         A
With the wind at my back.  (x2)
The second verse has some weird finger placement, instead of playing the 7th fret on the D string (which is kind of impossible) you could play the 2nd fret on the G string, though I find it meh. tips welcome/questions if it's not clear. ************************************ | x Dead note | / Slide up ************************************
