Completely ignore me

  Getting high off of saying
               D5
Why you don't adore me?
Bb5   C5      F5   A5   G5

Verse 2:
F5
  Locked and loaded
       A5
You're practically 
          D5  C5
floating away now
F5                      A5
  In your fortress you feel like
                    D5
You're more or less safe now
    Bb5           F5     A5   G5
But let me say I don't mean harm
Bb5     F5 C5           Bb5  F5
Oh but ba--by you'd be charming 
         F5          Bb5
if you'd come undone
                    Eb5
Get back where you started from


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
Bb5                      C#5
   Never mind how you've rationed your time
        Eb5
And the battle is underway
Ab5 Ab5    C#5    Ab5 C#5
May-----be times are  gonna change
Bb5           C#5
   Don't just hide in the silence behind
            Eb5                    F- - Am-- x2
What you've really been trying to say


Verse 3:
