*= single strum [Intro] F Bb C F x3 [Chorus 1]
F
I ponder of something great

F
My lungs will fill and then deflate

Bb                  C
They fill with fire, exhale desire

Dm
I know it's dire, my time today
[Chorus 2]
Dm
I have these thoughts so often, I ought

Dm
To replace that slot with what I once bought

Bb                            C
'Cause somebody stole my car radio

C                     N.C.
And now I just sit in silence
[Verse 1] N.C. Sometimes quiet is violent
F
I find it hard to hide it, my pride is no longer inside

F
It's on my sleeve, my skin will scream

Bb                           C
Reminding me of who I killed inside my dream

C
I hate this car that I'm driving, there's no hiding for me

Dm
I'm forced to deal with what I feel

Dm
There is no distraction to mask what is real
N.C. I could pull the steering wheel [Chorus 2]
Dm
I have these thoughts so often, I ought

Dm
To replace that slot with what I once bought

Bb                           C
'Cause somebody stole my car radio

C                     N.C.
And now I just sit in silence
[Interlude 1] Bb* Bb* Bb* Bb*
Bb
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

Bb
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
[Chorus 3]
F                   C                Dm
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)

F                C               Dm
Wait for them to ask you who you know (Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)

F                 C          Dm
Please don't make any sudden moves (Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)

F                  C           Dm
You don't know the half of the abuse (Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
F
I ponder of something terrifying

F
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind

F
I find over the course of our human existence

Bb                    C
One thing consists of consistence

Dm
And it's that we're all battling fear

Dm
Oh, dear, I don't know if we know why we're here

Dm
Oh, my, too deep, please stop thinking
N.C. I liked it better when my car had sound
F
There are things we can do

F
But from the things that work there are only two

Bb
And from the two that we choose to do

C
Peace will win and fear will lose

Dm
And there's faith and there's sleep

Dm
We need to pick one please because

Bb                             C
Faith is to be awake and to be awake is for us to think

F
And for us to think is to be alive

Dm
I will try with every rhyme

Dm
To come across like I am dying

Bb                                 N.C.
To let you know you need to try to think
[Interlude 2]
Bb
Try to think, try to think

Bb
Try to think, try to think
[Chorus 2]
