Intro
don't be late
there's no time to be afraid
there's a way
to clean up the mess you've made
C#m
if I could tell the truth
B F#/A#
or lie would I attempt the two at the same time
C#m B
expect you to apologize for trying
F#/A# C#m
to make me so up tight
C#m G#m7
don't say it's just a game we play
I can't lose the taste
B C#m
if you regulate how the blood is pumping
B
through the veins from my heart into my head
in time this blood supply
F#/A#
will change me from red to white
C#m
every thought that you know I'm thinking
B
may as well be the knife stuck in my back
B F#/A# C#m G#m
this taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place
C#m

G#m C#m F#/A#
anyone in their right mind)

I've broken ties with the neighborhood
F#/A# B G#m
feeling like a bum in the city
C#m F#/A# B
waking only to take a drink
G#m C#m

F#/A# B G#m
then sinking like a stone in the sea
C#m F#/A# B
without the oxygen I need
B
deciding as I wait for air to entertain
EM7 G#m G#m7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
B
the right time and the right way to elevate
EM7 G#m G#m7
careful not to (to breathe in [3x])
B A7sus4
to breathe in the air that so proudly puts to death
B
my own Father's name
Bsus2 B G#m7 B
I re--member when your hand started shaking
Bsus2 B
there's a better way
Bsus2 B G#m7 B
to clean up the mess you've been making
