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