Verse 1:
Em C G Run 1
I'm going out sleepwalking
Em C G Run 1
Where mute memories start talking
Em C G Run 1
The boss that couldn't help but hurt you
Em C G Run 1
And the pretty thing he made desert you
Em C G Run 1
I'm going out like a baby
Em C G Run 1
A naive unsatisfiable baby
Em C G Run 1
Grabbing on to whatever's around
Em C G Run 1
For the soaring high or the crushing down
Bridge/chorus (whatever you want to call it)
A7sus4
With hidden cracks that don't show
C
But that constantly just grow
These patterns, obviously, stay the same through the whole song.
Verse 2:
I'm looking for the man that attacked me
While everybody was laughing at me
You beat it in me that part of you
But I'm gonna split us back in two
Bridge/chorus thing:
Tired of living in a cloud
If you're gonna say s*** now you'll do it out loud
Verse 3:
It's 2:45 in the morning
And I'm putting myself on warning
For waking up in an unknown place
With a recollection you half erased
Bridge/chorus thing:
Looking for somebody's arms to
Wave away past harms
Verse 4:
I'm walking out on center circle
The both of you can just fade to black
I'm walking out on center circle
Been pushed away but I'll never go back
Continue verse pattern and fade out.
