Verse
A#m C#
I'll keep the timing of all you said
G# A#m
Set it back in your head
A#m C#
Creep slowly around like the living dead
G# A#m
I may never be the same again
A#m C#
We're safe but only when the lights are on
G# A#m
Soon enough there's something wrong
A#m C#
The timing of all you said
G# A#m
How do I get it out of my head
[Chorus]
A#m F#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
C#
To keep on living
D#m
Keep on living
Living
A#m
I'm counting heads
F#
Trying hard to forget
C#
The ones that I'm missing
D#m
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
[Verse]
A#m C#
Wet blanket words you've given me
G# A#m
Never ever will they set me free
A#m C#
I tucked myself in patiently
G# A#m
Covered my mirrors so I couldn't see
A#m C# G#
You wake me up when you're on time
A#m
I've been sleeping all my life
A#m C#
My destiny in your bed
G# A#m
How do I get it out of my head
F# C# G#
And when the sun goes down I wonder
A#m
Where your head hits the pillow
F# C# G#
It's like hearing lightning, seeing thunder.
[Chorus]
A#m F#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
C#
To keep on living
D#m
Keep on living
Living
A#m
I'm counting heads
F#
Trying hard to forget
C#
The ones that I'm missing
D#m
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
[Verse]
(N.C.)
There was a time when I thought that I had lost my faith
It took a while but I realized it was misplaced
And it's a style to pretend like you are far from grace
To run a mile
Just to find you were in the right place
(repeat 2 more times with chorus played over top)
[Chorus]
A#m F#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
C#
To keep on living
D#m
Keep on living
Living
A#m
I'm counting heads
F#
Trying hard to forget
C#
The ones that I'm missing
D#m
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
[Verse]
A#m F#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
C#
To keep on living
D#m
Keep on living
Living
A#m
I'm counting heads
F#
Trying hard to forget
C#
The ones that I'm missing

The ones that I'm missing
