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