A            D                  F#m
Your grandpa died when you were nine

          E               A
They said he had lost his mind

          D              F#m
You have learned way too soon

           E                    A     D    F#m    E
You should never trust the pantaloon

              A             F#m
You are tired, you are hurt

                 E                     D
A moth ate through your favorite shirt

                    A         F#m                  E
And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk

E/G# D    A
Lose your mind
[Verse 2: Joseph]
    A                 D
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
F#m                  E
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
A                   D
When I make you cry

                     F#m               E
Cause I'm twisted up,    I'm twisted up, inside my mind
[Verse 3: Joseph, Crowd, Joseph & Crowd]
Bb         F      Dm C F                   Dm C
Down in the forest,    we'll sing a chorus

Bb             F   Dm    C
One that everybody knows

Bb        F        Dm      C
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire

Bb           F            Dm  C
Singing songs that nobody wrote

Bb         F    Dm C F                  Dm C
Down in the forest,  we'll sing a chorus

Bb             F   Dm    C
One that everybody knows

Bb        F        Dm      C

Singing songs that nobody wrote
[Verse 4: Joseph]

                           Am

 Everything together trying to be so cool

[Verse 5: Joseph]
G
I'll tell 'em

G     G              G
Why won't you let me go

D             G          C
Do I threaten all your plans?

    Bm       D
I'm insignificant
Please tell 'em
G   C                 G
You have no plans for me

  D           G       C
I will set my soul on fire

 Bm           D
What have I become?

           G
I'll tell 'em
[Bridge: Joseph]
   G                         D/F#
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time

  Em                      C           G
I know I haven't been the best of sons

  G                               D/F#
Hello, I've been traveling in the deserts of my mind

    Em                C
And I haven't found a drop
[Verse 6: Joseph]
G
I tried desperately to run through the sand

      D/F#
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand

 Em
'Cause it's all that I have, and it's all that I need

         C
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me

G
But I tried my best and all that I can

         D/F#
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand

Em
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain

    C
The sand will slow me down, and the water will drain

G
I'm just begin dramatic, in fact

                D/F#
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen Who's addicted to wind
       Em
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
    C
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
                     G
But it's the end of today
End of my ways As a walking denial
    D/F#
My trial was filed
As a crazy suicidal headcase
         Em
But you specialize in dying

                             C
You hear me screaming, "Father!"
And I'm lying here just crying
                       G     D/F#    Em    C
So wash me with your water
[Outro: Joseph, Crowd, Joseph & Crowd]
C
 We're broken
We're broken
G
 We're broken

              Am      G
 We're broken people, oh

              F            G   C
 We're broken people, oh, yeah

C
 We're bro-
