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

(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]
Cm G#
I'm placing bets. I'm writing checks.
D#
To keep on living
Fm
