Verse 1:
Gbm6              Db7               Gbm
Breathing in the dark, lying on its side
Gbm6             Db7               Gbm
The ruins of the day painted with a scar
Gbm6                      Db7                      Gbm
And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try
Gbm6                  Db7                 Gbm
The feelings start to rot, one wink at a time, oh
 
Chorus 1:
Bm   Dbm             A       D         Dbm     Bm
  Forgiving who you are for what you stand to gain
     Dbm               A       D     Dbm  Bm
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
     Dbm             A         D     Bm
When you get out of bed don't end up stranded
  Db                       Db7
Horrified with each stone, on the stage my little dark age

Verse 2:
Gbm6                  Db7                 Gbm
Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby
Gbm6                 Db7                 Gbm
The carvings on the face say they find it hard
Gbm6                      Db7                 Gbm
And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise
Gbm6                 Db7               Gbm
The humor's not the same coming from denial, oh
 
Chorus 2:
Bm   Dbm        A       D         Dbm     Bm
  I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
   Dbm               A       D     Dbm  Bm
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
    Dbm             A       D     Bm
If you get out of bed and find me standing
 Db                    Db7
All alone, open-eyed, burn the page my little dark age

  I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
     Dbm             A          D    Dbm  Bm
You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away
   Dbm           A          D       Bm
If I get out of bed You'll see me standing
  Db                   Db7
all alone, Horrified, On the stage My little dark age
 
Interlude -x4-: Gbm
 
Bridge:
Gbm6         Db7
Giddy with delight
                  Gbm
Seeing what's to come
Gbm6            Db7
The image of the dead
                Gbm
Dead ends in my mind
 
Chorus 4:
Bm   Dbm              A           D     Dbm      Bm
  Policemen swear to god love's seeping from the guns
   Dbm                A          D     Dbm      Bm
I know my friends and I would probably turn and run
     Dbm           A         D       Bm
If you get out of bed, come find us heading
  Db                            Db7
For the Bridge, bring a stone, all the rage my little dark age
 
Chorus 3:
Bm   Dbm        A       D         Dbm     Bm
  I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
   Dbm               A       D     Dbm  Bm
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
    Dbm             A       D     Bm
If you get out of bed and find me standing
 Db                    Db7
All alone, open-eyed, burn the page my little dark age
