History Books

[Intro] C  G

                F                  
It's really too bad that anyone 
     F
even invented
                F
The concept of perfection
                F
And don't be mistaken
      F
It's all that it ever was
          F         F
Just a concept, an idea
                          F
A story to scare the children
                    F
Of a megalomaniacal pair
          F                   Am
Of some smartasses somewhere out 
there

    G             Dm
Spiraling through history books
               F                C
Hiding in the subtext in between the
 lines
        G                          
Of the single most boring page ever
    Am
 inflicted
        G                      
On the temp worker proofreading 
  Dm
textbooks
                      F            
To pay off the wasted English 
  C
degree
      G
They earned but never will need

                 F                 
It's really too bad when I opt into
      F
 paralysis

To protect me from a malice
                         F
That I'm not sure even exists
                    F
Oh, but what if it did?
                             F
Like an ancient evil that showed up 
at your party
                                  F
And it's really bumming everyone out
                            Am
Sucking us into an endless void

    G             Dm
Spiraling through alternate space
               F                C
Hiding in the subfloors and between 
the walls
        G                          
Of the single most boring place 
         Am
that ever existed
             G
And that's where we'll live
       G                           
Kept alive by enzymes for a 
  F
thousand years
               C
And while I'm glad you're here
    G
I still kinda wish I didn't have to 
be

( Am  F  C )
( Dm  C  F )
( G  C  Dm  G )

                 F             
It's really too bad when things 
                C
start looking good
                         F
For the first time in a while

But I can't see it
                     F
Because I live with fear

Fear is my roommate

He's an asshole
                                F
And he stands in front of the window
 all day

To block my view

                     Am
Or am I just copping out?

     G             Dm
Spiraling through history books
               F                C
Hiding in the subtext in between the
 lines
        G                          
Of the single most boring page that
         Am
 ever existed
             G
And that's where we'll live
       G                       
Kept alive on bookshelves for a 
          F
thousand years
               C
And while I'm glad you're here
                    G              
I still kinda wish I didn't have to
 Am
 be
