Verse:
   Db
I never knew
    Fm              Ab             Db
I never knew that everything was falling through
        Fm        Ab               Db
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
    Fm       Ab               Bbm   Fm        Eb
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
                     Db
But that's how it's got to be
       Fm              Ab               Db
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
      Fm             Ab              Db
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
      Fm        Ab           Bbm      Fm        Eb
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Chorus:
Db    Ab    Fm        Ab
Everyone knows I'm in
Db        Ab     Fm      Eb
Over my head, over my head
       Db    Ab              Fm     Ab
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Bbm       Ab          Fm   Eb    Db
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Interlude:
    Fm  Ab  Db
    Fm  Ab

Verse: 
         Db
Let's rearrange
   Fm              Ab                Db
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
    Fm           Ab              Db
To say that we agree and then never change
    Fm   Ab            Bbm        Fm    Eb
Soften a bit until we all just get along
            Db
But that's disregard
     Fm           Ab              Db
You find another friend and you discard
        Fm          Ab          Db
As you lose the argument in a cable car
     Fm   Ab            Bbm    Fm     Eb
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Chorus:
Db    Ab    Fm        Ab
Everyone knows I'm in
Db        Ab     Fm      Eb
Over my head, over my head
       Db    Ab              Fm     Ab
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Bbm       Ab          Fm   Eb    Db
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Bridge:
       Db          Fm       Ab           Db
And suddenly I become a part of your past
       Fm          Ab              Db
I'm becoming the part that don't last
      Fm    Ab            Bbm
I'm losing you and its effortless

Verse:
Db                        Fm            Ab
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground 
         Db
In the throw around
         Fm              Ab         Db
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
        Fm         Ab            Bbm
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Bridge:
Ab         Ab  
Everyone knows I'm in
Fm7             Db
Over my head, over my head

My head   I'm over my...

Everyone knows I'm in

Over my head, over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind, she's on your mind
