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