Verse
Gm A#
I'll keep the timing of all you said
F Gm
Set it back in your head
Gm A#
Creep slowly around like the living dead
F Gm
I may never be the same again
Gm A#
We're safe but only when the lights are on
F Gm
Soon enough there's something wrong
Gm A#
The timing of all you said
F Gm
How do I get it out of my head
[Chorus]
Gm D#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
A#
To keep on living
Cm
Keep on living
Living
Gm
I'm counting heads
D#
Trying hard to forget
A#
The ones that I'm missing
Cm
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
Missing
[Verse]
Gm A#
Wet blanket words you've given me
F Gm
Never ever will they set me free
Gm A#
I tucked myself in patiently
F Gm
Covered my mirrors so I couldn't see
Gm A# F
You wake me up when you're on time
Gm
I've been sleeping all my life
Gm A#
My destiny in your bed
F Gm
How do I get it out of my head
D# A# F
And when the sun goes down I wonder
Gm
Where your head hits the pillow
D# A# F
It's like hearing lightning, seeing thunder.
[Chorus]
Gm D#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
A#
To keep on living
Cm
Keep on living
Living
Gm
I'm counting heads
D#
Trying hard to forget
A#
The ones that I'm missing
Cm
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]
Gm D#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
A#
To keep on living
Cm
Keep on living
Living
Gm
I'm counting heads
D#
Trying hard to forget
A#
The ones that I'm missing
Cm
The ones that I'm missing
Missing
