Verse
G#m F#
Thinning airflow through a narrow hallway
G#m F#
Hanging heads from the billboards, hoping to entertain
E
I hear the circle resonate
C#m
You're all nameless faces to me
G#m
I'm merely a short daydream
F#
I helped you get through nothing
[Chorus]
G#m
And if you look real close
B
Hands held under the thorns
D#m
Keep you proud and me unknown
C#
I'm your toy when things get shallow
G#m F# G#m F#
I'm under your control
[Verse 2]
G#m F#
Press your face to wood floor, you're the grain
G#m F#
Here's a savior for when you don't feel anything
E
I am what you want me to be
C#m
Ripped right out in front of me
G#m
I was on the edge of your everything
F#
Now something gets in the way
E
Innocence sedates your memory
C#m
The misbelief in anything
G#m
I see you on every city street
F#
Looking for me to fix your pain
[Chorus]
G#m
And if you look real close
B
Hands held under the thorns
D#m
Keep you proud and me unknown
C#m
I'm your toy when things get shallow
G#m
It swallows everyone
B D#m
You don't hold enough to show anything for what you've done
C#m
I'm your toy when things get shallow
I'm under your control
[Interlude]
G#m C#m G#m C#m
[Bridge]
B
I've wished for this
G#m
Well, my attention comes and goes ever since
B
And I've dreamt of this
G#m B
Well, it is never clean behind the film we're staring at
[Chorus]
G#m
And if you look real close
B
Hands held under the thorns
D#m
Keep you proud and me unknown
C#m
I'm your toy when things get shallow
It swallows everyone
G#m B D#m
You don't hold enough to show anything for what you've done
C#
I'm your toy when things get shallow
G#m
I'm under your control
