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