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