Verse
Cm A#
Thinning airflow through a narrow hallway
Cm A#
Hanging heads from the billboards, hoping to entertain
G#
I hear the circle resonate
Fm
You're all nameless faces to me
Cm
I'm merely a short daydream
A#
I helped you get through nothing
[Chorus]
Cm
And if you look real close
D#
Hands held under the thorns
Gm
Keep you proud and me unknown
F
I'm your toy when things get shallow
Cm A# Cm A#
I'm under your control
[Verse 2]
Cm A#
Press your face to wood floor, you're the grain
Cm A#
Here's a savior for when you don't feel anything
G#
I am what you want me to be
Fm
Ripped right out in front of me
Cm
I was on the edge of your everything
A#
Now something gets in the way
G#
Innocence sedates your memory
Fm
The misbelief in anything
Cm
I see you on every city street
A#
Looking for me to fix your pain
[Chorus]
Cm
And if you look real close
D#
Hands held under the thorns
Gm
Keep you proud and me unknown
Fm
I'm your toy when things get shallow
Cm
It swallows everyone
D# Gm
You don't hold enough to show anything for what you've done
Fm
I'm your toy when things get shallow
I'm under your control
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
D#
I've wished for this
Cm
Well, my attention comes and goes ever since
D#
And I've dreamt of this
Cm D#
Well, it is never clean behind the film we're staring at
[Chorus]
Cm
And if you look real close
D#
Hands held under the thorns
Gm
Keep you proud and me unknown
Fm
I'm your toy when things get shallow
It swallows everyone
Cm D# Gm
You don't hold enough to show anything for what you've done
F
I'm your toy when things get shallow
Cm
I'm under your control
