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