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

Gm C

Dm A#

Gm C
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
