Intro: Em

Verse:

Em                           D
Look what I've done, didn't make the best of that one
     Am                     C            D
I arrived feeling sure, but ended up all insecure
Em                      D
How does it feel to be lost in your creation
     Am              C         D
Underneath the ?, a situation improvised

(Riff 1)

Em                          D 
Hear me, on fear there's a sign of recognition
Am                    C             D
? can survive, the spinning end of every night

(Riff 1)

(Riff 2)

Chorus:

     D               Em(w/F pull-off)
Too bad on me that I ?
  Am  C      D        Em(w/F pull-off)
A validation unsurprised
          G                       Em
Cause I'm hungry for it now and I wanna hear a sound
   Am   C      D      Em(w/F pull-off)
Of recognition let me in
Am      C      D         Em
Wind me up and watch me spin
