E                   Asus2 Asus2/G# 
All of a sudden she disappears, 
just yesterday she was here 
somebody tell me if I am sleeping 
someone should be with me here (cause I don't want to be alone) 
 
Chorus:

*Second time, end here      ^ 
 
B                         A            E 
I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand 
and I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult 
What a big baby    won't somebody save me please 
 
B                     A 
You won't find nobody home 
 
Verse 2: (same as first) 
 
all of these quiet battered voices 
wait for the hunger to come 
we got little revolvers and stupid choices 
and no one to say when we're done 
(Well I don't wanna bring you down) 
 
I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes 
'cause I know there's little things about me 
that would sing in this silence of so much rejection 
in every connection I make 
I can't find nobody home
