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