Verse 1:
D5
  Tuesday wakes up silent
          Bb5
And there aren't enough
          D5
pills to sleep
And then it cuts out like
   Bb5
miswired shortwave radio
D5              Bb5
  It's over But nothing can
                       D5
change to ever make it right
         Bb5
When you live in a nightmare
It's written all over your face


Refrain 1:
D5 F5
   And in a short time
D5        F5               D5
   You're never the same again
    F5
The distance is streamlined
D5          F5            D5
  Between decision and defense
Distorient the senses
Loss of identity
No one to trust
No one to trust


Chorus 1:
D5   F5    Bb5
Life runs through 
D5
this trade
F5    Bb5       D5
I am no killer
    F5       Bb5      D5
But I still hide my face
F5      Bb5
In the coming days


Verse 2:
D5                Bb5
  I wake up every morning
From the same dream
D5
  And then I kill it
        Bb5
But you can't change the
letters when the ink dries
D5                 Bb5
  I woke up on the sidewalk 
                    D5
and everything just changed
        Bb5
Now the lights are blinking 
but I can't see anything


Chorus 2:
D5   F5    Bb5
Life runs through 
D5
this trade
F5    Bb5       D5
I am no killer
    F5       Bb5      D5
But I still hide my face
F5      Bb5
In the coming days
D5   F5    Bb5
Life runs through 
D5
this trade
F5    Bb5       Dm(hold)  x4
I am no killer


Bridge::
D5 Bb5 D5
        Everything is 
Bb5       D5
falling apart
D5 Bb5 D5
        Everything is 
Bb5       D5
falling apart
D5 Bb5 D5
        Everything is 
Bb5       D5
falling apart
Crumpled paper
G5
Crushed tin cans
Bb5
Broken bottles
D5
  Paper scraps
G5              Bb5
  We're all the same
D5                  G5 Bb5
  We're all the same


Outro:
D5       G5   Bb5  D5  G5 Bb5
  We all look the same
D5       G5   Bb5  D5  G5
  We all look the same
    G5   Bb5     D5 G5 Bb5
But I am the killer
D5 F5
   And in a short time
D5        F5               D5
   You're never the same again
    F5
The distance is streamlined
Dm          F            Dm-- x8
  Between decision and---
