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