Verse 1:  
G
Choking slowly 
              Bm Em D
broken hearted
G
Don't look now 
                       Bm Em D
here s what you started
C                 G
  And I swore I'd be there
          D
until the end We re bitter 
Em      D      C
now but better friends
         
I climbed out limbless
       D
to the ledge to bask 
   B/Eb
in my last true-


Chorus 1:
    Em   C
-regrets Lay my heavy 
G         D        Em
head here down to sleep
    C           G
Now pray to Abraxis

my soul to keep

here down to dream

Wake up with this

lead poisoning


Verse 2:
G
Sobbing softly 
               Bm Em D
lost and hollow
     G
This fevered dream
                     Bm Em D
tough pill to swallow
C                 G
  And I swore I'd be there 
       D
to the end You re better 
Em       D     C
off your bitterness
I climbed out lifeless 
       D
to the edge I waved 
    B/Eb
goodbye and leapt high


Chorus 2:
Em C
   Lay my heavy 
G         D        Em
head here down to sleep
    C               G
Now pray to A brass fist
   D       Em
my soul to keep
C            G
Lay my heavy head 
     D       Em
here down to dream
  C           D
Awaken to the blood
               G-- x2
and sweat and screams


Bridge:
  G
I Woke up here on

Monday morning
D
This old tree on
this dark corner
Em
Waiting here for what
         C
tomorrow brings
G
Silver Lake mercury mining
D
This mistake no silver lining
Em
Waiting for a bullet train to
C           D
bring me my lead poisoning

Now pray to Abraxis 
   D       Em
my soul to keep
C            G
Lay my heavy head 
     D       Em
here down to dream
C
Wake up with this
