[fig 1] Cm A#
Why can't you just forget about algebra

And all your talk of logic and formula

could never help you now
D Dsus2 D D7 D
(not any more)
[Chorus]

'Cause you were always

on the run
F Dm
from the darkness in your heart

so you wear it
Am D
on the outside of your chest
[Verse 2]
[fig 2] Cm A#
I have taken liberty
D / D7 / D
to tell your ghost to go
[fig 2] Cm A#

they've promised not to show
D Dsus2 D D7 D
(for a while)

'Cause you were always

from the poison in your lungs
Gm Am
and your heart is on the outside
D
of your chest.
