[Intro] D A Em x2 [Verse 1] D
   A        Em
I left your heart of glass in my unmade bed

D            A                Em                                     D
In the right time, you could shine so bright in my doubtful eyes, and

   A   Em                          D
I--- imprint all your ideas on mine

   A       Em
I--- move awkwardly at the speed of light
[Pre-Chorus]
D                        A
Maybe it's easier to be afraid

Em
Drenched in tragedy, man-made, and my

D               A
Compass is an antique

Em
But if I'm not back soon

                         G
Don't come looking for me
[Chorus]
         D              A                     Em                 G
You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic

D            A                          Em
Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic

G         D
A paradox poetic

          A
You get choked up

Em                   G
Reading the classics

      D                          A
Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite

                       Em
A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it
[Interlude] D A Em x2 [Verse 2] D
   A      Em                                D
I take a sip of something I can barely taste

         A            Em                                        D
Dull as dusk, with a skull and crossbones to bring us luck, and

  A      Em                              D
I---, I know that you can't read my mind

  A    Em
I--- swear I said the same thing a hundred times
[Pre-Chorus]
            D                    A
Maybe it's harder than it should be

Em
Variations on a theme, I could

D                    A
Wear it right on my sleeve

         Em
When an antagonist emerges

                G
Don't blame me---
[Chorus]
         D              A                     Em                 G
You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic

D            A                          Em
Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic

G         D
