Verse
Em A
Can you hear the birds cry
D G
At your own funeral?
Em A
They won't smile, they won't grin,
D G
They will just follow you
Em A
In your head, in your head
D G
No disturbance no more
Em A
In your head, in your head
D G
The choir has run out of young boys
[Chorus]
Bm G
16 hours ago, you said
D G
Follow my lead while I play dead
Bm G
16 days ago, in bed
D G
Making up promises in your head
D G
Please
Bm A
Follow your head and not your heart
D G
Please
Bm A
It has been wrong right from the start
[Bridge]
G D
And it takes a while, to watch the ship go down
G D
Yes, it takes a while to burn right to the ground
[Verse 2]
Em A
Can you hear yourself lie
D G
Or are you oblivious?
Em A
We are right here, right now
D G
But they have all flown away
Em A
In your head, in your head
D G
It's always someone, but not you
Em A
In your head, in your head
D G
The shouting stopped, now it's just you
[Chorus]
Bm G
16 hours ago, you said
D G
Follow my lead while I play dead
Bm G
16 days ago, in bed
D G
Making up promises in your head
D G
Please
Bm A
Follow your head and not your heart
D G
Please
Bm A
It has been wrong right from the start
[Outro]
G D
And it takes a while, to watch the ship go down
G D
Yes, it takes a while to burn right to the ground
G D
Just try your best to keep from getting drowned
G D
Yes, it takes a while, but someday you'll be found
