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