Verse
Cmaj7
My world astir and sickly
Bm7 Em7
Spits out our voices singing
Cmaj7 D
Tra la la on high now
Bm7 Em7
To kingdom come so slightly
Cmaj7
Herein the void in your place
Bm7 Em7
I twitch and tweak in allusion
Cmaj7 D
To sit and stare so blankly
Bm7 Em7
Until all hope is used up
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
Where do you go when I'm around
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
What have I done What have I lost that's so defeating
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
And have the nerve to wear the crown
Refrain
Oh
Cmaj7
Na na na na na na hey hey
Bm7 Em7
Na na na na na na hey hey
Cmaj7 D
Na na na na na na hey hey
Bm7 Em7
Na na na na na na hey hey
Verse
Em7 Cmaj7
In Some dark room
Cmaj7 Bm7
A smoky figure fills me full
Bm7 Em7 Cmaj7
Makes my head swell in ruin
D Bm7
My family kneels at their pew
Bm7 Em7 Cmaj7
They nod We believe in what you're doing
Cmaj7 Bm7
I feel it rise above me
Em7
The western landscapes towering
Cmaj7 D
And from my shell of a body
Bm7 Em7
The flowers blossom for picking
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
Where do you go when I'm around
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
What have I done What have I lost that's so defeating
Cmaj7 Bm7 D
And have the nerve to wear the crown
Refrain
Oh

Bridge
NC
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
NC
Don't fight it don't bother an inch for another
NC
Don't listen don't hear them they're in this together
NC
I 've learned well now hear me there's much to be fearing
NC
I'm used to your absence your faceless distraction
Cmaj7
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive
Bm7 Em7
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid
Bm7 Cmaj7 D
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles
Bm7 Em7
Where your life and my life directions can wrangle
Cmaj7
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
Bm7 Em7
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall
Em7 Cmaj7 D
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret
Bm7 Em7
To sting alive without actually breathing
