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