Intro
don't be late
there's no time to be afraid
there's a way
to clean up the mess you've made
G#m
if I could tell the truth
F# C#/F
or lie would I attempt the two at the same time
G#m F#
expect you to apologize for trying
C#/F G#m
to make me so up tight
G#m D#m7
don't say it's just a game we play
I can't lose the taste
F# G#m
if you regulate how the blood is pumping
F#
through the veins from my heart into my head
in time this blood supply
C#/F
will change me from red to white
G#m
every thought that you know I'm thinking
F#
may as well be the knife stuck in my back
F# C#/F G#m D#m
this taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place
G#m
this is still my life
F# G#m
not yours to define
D#m G#m C#/F F#
(anyone in their right mind would never let you inside
D#m G#m C#/F
anyone in their right mind)
D#m G#m
I've broken ties with the neighborhood
C#/F F# D#m
feeling like a bum in the city
G#m C#/F F#
waking only to take a drink
D#m G#m
from an empty glass of nothing good
C#/F F# D#m
then sinking like a stone in the sea
G#m C#/F F#
without the oxygen I need
F#
deciding as I wait for air to entertain
BM7 D#m D#m7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
F#
the right time and the right way to elevate
BM7 D#m D#m7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
F# A7sus4
to breathe in the air that so proudly puts to death
F#
my own Father's name
F#sus2 F# D#m7 F#
I re--member when your hand started shaking
F#sus2 F#
there's a better way
F#sus2 F# D#m7 F#
to clean up the mess you've been making
