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