Rust

Em Bm D G Em Bm D G
Woah,     woah


[Verse 1]
Em          Bm
How do I explain
    D       G
Or even articulate
      Em             Bm
That every day that I'm awake
       D         G
Is a day I fade away
        Em                 Bm
Place chicken scratch to paper
       D                G
As I scratch inside my temples
        Em             Bm
For any hatch that resembles
       D               G
My simple solipsistic question


[Chorus]
    Em  Bm D   G
So here I stand
  Em  Bm D   G
A hollow man
    Em  Bm  D  G
A broken piece
    Em   Bm    D  G
Of god’s great plan
Em Bm D G Em Bm D G
Woah,     woah


[Verse 2]
     Em            Bm
So I get out of my head
         D           G
And meet up with my friends
Continúa después del anuncio
           Em            Bm
They say, 'Hey dude we missed you
  D            G
Where have you been?'
              Em                 
But I’ve been bleeding, I've been 
Bm
bleeding
               D             
From all these senseless self 
 G
beatings
                Em         Bm
And they scream please believe it
         D               G
You are needed, you are needed


[Verse 3]
     Em         Bm
But when will I know it?
          D                 G
That I am not that piece of shit!
            Em               Bm
That people look at and they wince 
and
      D           G
Throw up a little bit
     Em  Bm
I am so cold
         D            G
But they hold me in a way
               Em       Bm
That makes the pain go away


[Chorus]
               Em     Bm      D    G
But I've been slowly building up
    Em      Bm        D     G
My sense of self from dust
   Em      Bm     D     G
I once was just a husk
 Em              Bm              
Rust covered in rust covered in 
D              G
rust covered in rust


[Bridge]
    Em         Bm         D      
In reality, my sanity is hanging 
     G
by a thread
       Em       Bm                
But if I became balanced would my 
       D          G
street cred be in shreds
        Em           Bm          
When my identity is entirely the 
D          G
maniac you see
   Em        Bm             D    
If I became healthy would I stop 
      G
being me?
    Em          Bm        D      
In reality, my sanity is hanging 
      G
by a thread (Slowly building up)
       Em       Bm                
But if I became balanced would my 
       D          G
street cred be in shreds (my sense 
of self from dust)
        Em          Bm           
When my identity is entirely the 
D          G
maniac you see (I once was just a 
husk)
   Em         Bm            D    
If I became healthy would I stop 
      G
being me? (Rust covered in rust 
covered in rust covered in rust)


[Chorus]
  Em    Bm      D    G
Slowly building up
   Em       Bm        D   G
My sense of self from dust
  Em       Bm      D    G
I once was just a husk
  Em             Bm              
Rust covered in rust covered in 
D              G
rust covered in rust
      Em  Bm D   G
Well here I stand (here I)
    Em     Bm   D   G
A mouth full of sand (why do I keep 
eating sand?)
   Em             Bm     D   G
Please could you hold my hand
         Em**       Bm*          
Stop me eating the sand, stop me 
D**                G~
feeling so goddamn bad
