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