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