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