Capo on 1
INTRO - : Bb5 - C5 :
Verse:
F5 C5
I really need to talk with you
D5
I keep stepping on the vein
Bb5
That keeps my lifeline flowing through.
F5 C5
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
D5
But I don't feel perfect at all,
A Sad and insecure flaw
F5 C5
I find it hard to hold conversation
D5 Bb5
I get sweaty, sick, and I wanna walk away
F5 C5
It's not you, this is strictly me in this situation
D5
I'm wondering will it ever go away? Just go away...
PRE-CHORUS
Bb5
Sometimes I feel like weeping
A5
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Ab5 F5
Perfecting how to put a game face on
Bb5
This puzzle I've been keeping
A5
Has been in hiding creeping
Ab5 A5
Out the closet door, spilling out onto the floor;
CHORUS
F5 C5 D5 Bb5 F5 C5 D5 Bb5
How long will I be picking up the pieces?
F5 C5 D5 Bb5 ... C5
How long will I be picking up my heart?
VERSE
F5 C5
I'll be as honest as I feel
D5
I'm getting more paranoid, and I'm hearing things
Bb5 F5
And they never turn out real.
C5
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel,
D5
It's just so heavy all the time.
(little interlude here, obviously)
F5 C5
Yea I'm scared of death, I'm scared of living
D5 Bb5
I gave up on the past 'cause it was unforgiving
F5
I misplaced my trust,
C5
Watched my words begin to rust,
D5
I'm a balloon about to bust
Bb5
I need a place for reliving still -
CHORUS 2
F5 C5 D5
How long in another place in time,
Bb5 F5 C5 D5 Bb5
Picking up the pieces in the corner of my mind?
F5 C5 D5
How long, living oh so hard to find,
Bb5 F5 C5 D5 Bb5
Picking up the pieces in the corner of my mind?
