Verse
Gm D#
Talking to ears that have been deaf
Cm
For as long as I can remember
Gm D# Cm
B self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself
Gm D# Cm
And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear
Gm
That I've become illiterate, I've become dumb
D# Cm
(Ya hear me? Ya hear me? Ya hear me?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm D#
When I come through, you were dark blue
Cm F
And I saved you from your darker days
Gm D#
Born to take care of you
Cm F
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
[Chorus]
Gm D#
Hey, I heard it from the state
Cm F
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
Gm D#
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
Cm F
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
Gm D#
Hey, you try to compensate
Cm F
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
Gm D#
You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated
Cm F
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
[Verse 2]
Gm D#
Shot down by a guy I never wanted to kiss
Cm
Not gonna hear the singing of his ringing triumphing
Gm D#
And I'm chugging along in a train
Cm
And I'm heading the wrong way, and I'm a train wreck
Gm D#
And my heart goes "beat, beat, beat"
Cm
To the music of this sad, same song
Gm D#
It's quite depressing, there is no fixing to the problem
Cm
When you're talking to an idiot
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm D#
When I come through, you were dark blue
Cm F
And I saved you from your darker days
Gm D#
Born to take care of you
Cm F
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
Gm D#
Baby, only maybe
Cm F
Just a dreamer, but I soon found out
Gm D#
Heard the train tracks were behind me
Cm
Tried to warn me, but both of my ears went out
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm D#
When I come through, you were dark blue
Cm F
And I saved you from your darker days
Gm D#
Born to take care of you
Cm F
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
[Chorus]
Gm D#
Hey, I heard it from the state
Cm F
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
Gm D#
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
Cm F
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
Gm D#
Hey, you try to compensate
Cm F
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
Gm D#
You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated
Cm F
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
