Intro
don't be late
there's no time to be afraid
there's a way
to clean up the mess you've made
Bm
if I could tell the truth
A E/G#
or lie would I attempt the two at the same time
Bm A
expect you to apologize for trying
E/G# Bm
to make me so up tight
Bm F#m7
don't say it's just a game we play
I can't lose the taste
A Bm
if you regulate how the blood is pumping
A
through the veins from my heart into my head
in time this blood supply
E/G#
will change me from red to white
Bm
every thought that you know I'm thinking
A
may as well be the knife stuck in my back
A E/G# Bm F#m
this taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place
Bm
this is still my life
A Bm
not yours to define
F#m Bm E/G# A
(anyone in their right mind would never let you inside
F#m Bm E/G#
anyone in their right mind)
F#m Bm
I've broken ties with the neighborhood
E/G# A F#m
feeling like a bum in the city
Bm E/G# A
waking only to take a drink
F#m Bm
from an empty glass of nothing good
E/G# A F#m
then sinking like a stone in the sea
Bm E/G# A
without the oxygen I need
A
deciding as I wait for air to entertain
DM7 F#m F#m7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
A
the right time and the right way to elevate
DM7 F#m F#m7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
A A7sus4
to breathe in the air that so proudly puts to death
A
my own Father's name
Asus2 A F#m7 A
I re--member when your hand started shaking
Asus2 A
there's a better way
Asus2 A F#m7 A
to clean up the mess you've been making
