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