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