Intro: Am G/B C Dm Am G/B C F (x2)
Verse 1:
Am G/B C
I wake up at the end of a long dark lonely year
Dm Am
it's bringing out the worst in me
G/B C
I hear your voice start breaking in fear
F
when the lights go down
Am G/B C
and I still feel you looking over my shoulder
Dm
your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
Am G/B
and I know none of us will survive
C F
cause I know everything
Interlude: Am G/B C Dm Am G/B C F
Verse 2:
Am G/B C
and my dear I need you to move a little faster
Dm
the second cast is the rest of your life
Am G/B C
your final word and an itchy finger
F
then it's taken away
Am G/B C
and we'll be beaten down without mercy or meaning
Dm
I turn my face to a careless skyline
Am G/B C
I'm searching hard for a sign from heaven
F
but they've forgotten me here
Chorus:
C Dm Am
You can just stop talking I get it
(I hear your silence loud and clear)
C Dm Am
I know its barely a thought, but it'll see us through
C Dm Am
I'm only saying please to just let it happen
(let it happen and we'll make it through)
C Dm Am
yeah you can just stop talking I get it
Interlude: Am G/B C Dm Am G/B C F
Verse 2:
Am G/B C
Sex, fuck and flourescent lighting
Dm
a hollow point on an angry bullet
Am G/B C
we're on the teeth of a crocodile
F
we're in the mouth of a gun
Am G/B C
and sometimes at night I feel I'm just a broken vessel
Dm
an instrument with a darker purpose
Am G/B C
I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless
F
cause they've got nothing to say
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: C Dm Am Ab (x2)
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro: Am G/B C Dm Am G/B C F (x2) end on Am
