Am        E              F
And I, I can feel the pull begin
              C              Am
I feel my conscience wearing thin
       E             F
And my skin, it will start
         C                  Am
To break up and fall apart
F              Dm
 Can you save, can you save
Am               G
 Can you save my heavy dirty soul
Dm                     Am
 They say stay in your lane boy, lane boy
G
But we go where we want to
Dm                          Am
 They think this thing is a highway, highway
G
But will they be alive tomorrow
C              Dm                 Am
 Get up Johnny boy, get up Johnny boy
                  F                  G             C
Get up 'cause the world has left you lying, on the ground
                    Dm                       Am
You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy
E C                     Am     E
  Please don't make any sudden moves
    C              Am            E
You don't know the half of the abused
G                           D
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
  Em                      C
I know I haven't been the best
        G                                   D
Of sons, hello, I've been travelling in the desert of my mind
      Em             C
And I haven't found a drop
Em C              G
 I know where you stand
D             Em
Silent in the trees
    C              G
And that's where I am
D
Silent
Em              C
I won't fall in love with falling
G             B
I will try to avoid those eyes
C             G                  D
 And everyone gather around for a show
              Em                   C
Watch as this man disappears as we know
G              Em
Look in the mirror
                G            Em
And ask yourself if you're alright
G               D
 Won't you stay alive
                   Em
I'll take you on a ride
            C                D           G
I will make you believe that you are lovely
Am             G
 Wish we could turn back time
C                E
 To the good old days
Am              G          C         E
 When our mamas sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
A         E
 That you all have guns
B
 But you never put the safety on
A        E
 And you all have plans
B
 To take it, to take it, don't take it, take it, take it
C#m                      B                             E
 I'm the son of all I've done, I'm the son of all I've done
                  G#
Imposter, been fostered
                   C#m
Then my new father drained my dirty blood
E         C#m                 A
 And I'll fall down, and I'll break down
         B                         E
And I'll fake you out, all I wanna
F#m          A
 Even when I doubt you
C#m              B
 I'm no good without you
E                        A
 You'll have to watch me struggle
                    C#m
From several rooms away
    E          B           E
But tonight, I need you to stay
F#m E A
         F#m            E   A
We don't believe what's on TV
             F#m     E       A
Because it's what we want to see
A            D
I'm semi-automatic
                 F#m
My prayers schizophrenic
                      E
But I'll live on yeah I'll live on
A
 And about this time of every year
D
 The line will go to the ocean pier
F#m                           E   A
 And march right off into the sea
           D         F#m    E
Though I'm weak, and beaten down
          D     F#m      E
I'll slip away, into the sound
A
 At my kitchen sink
               D
You don't know what that means
          F#m
Because a kitchen sink to you
         E
Is not a kitchen sink to me, ok friend
F#m               D
 I'm fairly local, I've been around
A                      E
 I've seen the streets, you're walking down
F#m               D
 I'm fairly local, good people now
A                  E
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A                  E
 Friend, please remove your hands
     F#m       D
From over your eyes for me
              A            F#m
You are tired, you are worn
                  E                    D
A moth ate through your favourite shirt
            A
Where'd you go, huh?
                 E
They all think I know you
                D
It's so hard to motivate

Me to devote a
               A
Single inch of me to
                  E
Something I can't see
D             A     E
Am I the only one I know
D         A              E
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat
A        D               A
 I wanna strip myself of breath
E                      A          D        A
 A breathless beast of death I've made for you
D              A
Heard you say, "Not today"
F#m                             E
Tore the curtains down, windows open, now make a sound
D
 Help me polarize, help me polarize
        F#m
Help me down
      Bm                      A                  E
Those stairs is where I'll be hiding all my problems
A G A
                     G
She's the tear in my heart
      A
I'm alive
                     Bm
She's the tear in my heart
       A
I'm on fire
C#m
Release me from the present
C#m
I'm obsessing, all these questions
C#m
Why I'm in denial
C F Am
C          F       Am        F
Oh, miss believer, my pretty weeper
C            Am                F           G
Your twisted thoughts are like snow on the rooftops
           F         C
You're the judge, oh no
       G  Am
Set me free
C
 I'm standing in front of you
G
 I'm standing in front of you
Am
 I'm trying to be so cool
F
 Everything together trying to be so cool
F                    Am
 You are surrounding all my surroundings
C
Sounding down the mountain range
G
 Of my left-side brain
C F Am
C                        F
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
     Am           G
Will you buy me a house of gold?
F
I ponder of something great
   F                        G
My lungs will fill and then deflate
     Am
They fill with fire, exhale desire
G
I know it's dire my time today
C G D
C           G              D
Stay alive, stay alive for me
C             G                    D
You will die, but now your life is free
G Am Em
G        Am          Em
I put my socks on my feet,
             G             Am              Em
Just so that my soul won't fall through my toes
G                  Am
 You will never know, what's behind my skull
Em                    D
 So won't you say goodnight, so I can say goodbye
C Am Em
C       Am            Em
 Ruby I hope I see you, I've waited all this week
C           Am           Em
 For you to walk my way, and your soul will capture me
        Em                                      Am
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that nobody cares about
    G                            B
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
G               Em
 I'll stay awake
           Am                D                G
'Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight
D Am C Em
      D                   Am          C                 Em
Where we're from, there's no sun, our hometown's in the dark
G     Em
 Oh, oh
Am                            C
 I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
G
 Hey, oh
D                         G
 I'm holding on to what I know
                            Bm
And what I know, I must let go
            A              G
But I would rather play a song for the eyes to sing along
A# F Dm C
    A#                          F
The air begins to feel a little thin
     Dm                       C
As I start the car, and then I begin
F         C           Dm
I scream, you scream, we all scream
                              A#                C
'Cause we're all terrified of what's around the corner
   E                               Am
Us to sleep but now we're stressed out
G C E
Am            G              C   E
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
Am              G          C         E
 When our mamas sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
