Verse 1: C Dm I am crying on the floor, rocking back and forth F G And Rob is crying too, just like the night before C Dm And Verity is holding me so tightly F G Saying "You cannot give up" and she is crying slightly C Dm And Russ walks over, crying as well F G ‘Cause he heard me shouting how much I hate myself C Dm He said “No, not you! No, not you! F G You make us all so happy. You know that, don’t you?” Chorus: C Dm I’m so emotional, I felt unlovable F G But they love me so dearly I must just be wrong C Dm ‘Cause they keep me, keep me safe Am G Keep me safe, keep me safe C F K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe Am Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain Verse 2: C Dm Still feel ripples from stones thrown, didn’t just disturb the surface F G Now everyone around me shows me I have a purpose C Dm Of love and be loved, show others they ain’t worthless F G I can love myself, I just need to learn it C Dm I continue to unpick my tragic disposition F G Can I be authentically happy, no need for these incisions? C Dm No need for a lobotomy when the brain’s just working F G I am hurting, I am hurting, could you be my Ibuprofen? Pre-Chorus: C Dm I’m so emotional, I felt unlovable F G But they love me so dearly I must just be wrong C F And they keep me, keep me safe Am G Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain Chorus: C F Keep me, keep me safe Am G Keep me safe, keep me safe C F K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe Am G Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain Bridge: Dm F There’s a picture of Ben smiling so sweetly Am G Didn’t know I took a photo when he looked up to see me Dm F There’s a picture of Ben smiling so sweetly Am G Didn’t know I took a photo, he just looked up to see me Pre-Chorus: C F ‘Cause they keep me, keep me safe Am G Keep me safe, k-keep me safe C F K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe Am G Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain Chorus: C F So I’ll bring the ink and I’ll stand in the sink -Keep me, keep me safe- Am G And you can tattoo my eyeballs bright pink -Keep me safe, keep me safe- C F And I’ll bring the ink and I’ll stand in the sink -K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe- Am G And you can tattoo my eyeballs bright pink -Keep me safe, keep me safe- C F And k-keep me, keep me safe Am G Keep me safe, keep me safe C F K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe Am G Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain Outro: C F Keep me, keep me safe Am G Keep me safe, keep me safe C F K-k-k-keep me, keep me safe
What’s the finger picking pattern for the chorus?
this song is best when you have nothing left to do during quarantine!
Try replace Em with E7 and it might sound better
I’ve been waiting 4 years for this!!!! Hyped is an understatement.
it says “the holy dark was moving too” it’s supposed to be dove! That’s a really sad mistake. 🙁
Is it just me or does Am not really fit the song in some parts?
any one have any ideas for a substitute
I keep the plucking pattern through the whole song. It’s a little tricky but I think it sounds best that way.
For the final hallelujah in the chorus, I like to do C, and then replace the G by picking E 1st fret and then E open, and then G C
So instead of CGCC, i play C-E1-E0-G-C
hey is anyone else having trouble with the main chorus? the hallelujah part? im like brand new and I have no idea how that part works
what strum pattern are you guys using/
