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