verse1:
          E                 B7  
Well, the future spills its intangibles.
   A              B   
An unknown set of variables.
  C#m               A             E
A path that spliten infinitely up ahead.
                             B7
So tell me what's the use to pick and choose.
     A                  B
From what you should or shouldn't do?
       C#m               A                B
That's time spent better sleeping in your bed.
Or wide awake in a shopping mall, trying clothes on from off of the wall
Yeah, anything to entertain yourself
'Cause a costume can be comfortable
It can make you feel more beautiful
It can even make you look like someone else


chorus:
        Ab7    A               Ab7             A
But it's still you, so there's nothing you can do.
       C#m Ab7 A      C#m     Ab7      A
Like a bad habit, the one you couldn't kick.
	 B
there it always is
         F#m             A              E
And it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fix 


Verse2:
     E                                B7
They pat your back bruised with their accolades.
    A                    B
And all four walls are a trophy case
         C#m                 A         E
But that doesn't make it any less of a cage.
                            B7
But you can make it all less difficult
   A             B                     C#m           A        B
By embracing the ephemeral. Then you'd never have to worry or explain
Cause if it's really all just physical, then my memory's immaterial
So why then do I remember you at all?
But I do, I do, my friend, I've seen your face
We shared a cup, I know the taste
Its sweetness is relentless on my lips

chorus:
           Ab7   A  Ab7             A
So help me drink in everything that is
       C#m   Ab7 A    C#m      Ab7   A
Like a freed convict, drunk on redemption
         B
From the way I've been
      F#m                   A                       E
But I swear this time, that things will be different


chorus2:
      F#m        C#m              A               B  
Well, right and wrong, they have never been that far apart.
    C#m                    F#m                 A   B
For those who'd write that sentence where you hang.
           Ab7  A  Ab7            A
We will be lifed, up from all of this.
             C#m  Ab7  A        C#m  Ab7 A           B
Yeah, we will transcend the insignificance of our existence.
          F#m              A               E
Yeah, your body's gone, but angel, you will live...
