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

Fbm A

Bm G
You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated
Fbm A
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
