[Verse 1]
D A G D
I want to cross stitch shut my eyes
A G D
Wage a war on the world outside
A G E
Brace the barricade in my mind,

But that’s alright
[Verse 2]
D A G D
I stretch the truths ’til they lose shape
A G D
As support beams bend and break
A G E
Watch reality’s slow cascade,
G
But that’s alright

And I’ve been thinking…
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
D A G D
I watch the sun dry out the grass

But that’s alright

Yeah, but that’s alright

Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
