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