C                D
Last time that I saw you
E
Both hands in the dirt
C               D
Asking for a photograph
E
A picture you did not deserve

[Chorus]
        C                  D
Oh, but I was just a placeholder
G                 C
A lesson to be learned
C                     D
Oh, I was just a placeholder
G                    C
A place you will return

[Verse]
C                        D
Last time that I heard your voice
E
Words I couldn't comprehend
C                      D
As a thousand years of feedback
E
Screaming in my head

[Chorus]
        C              D
Oh, but I was just a placeholder
     G                C
Exchange for what you had
      C                D
Oh, I was just a placeholder
    G            C
A tension you retract

[Verse]
C                D
Curious, I came to you
E
You wordlessly ignored
   C                       D                  E
As I stumbled psychically upon a truth I could not afford

[Chorus]
        C                D
Oh, but I was just a placeholder
  G               C
A place and nothing more
   C                  D
Oh, I was just a placeholder
      G            C
With nothing to stand for

[Verse]
    C                  D
And this is where I doubted you
E
And endless compromise
  C                                         D
To say that you told me to the truth is to tell each other lies

[Chorus]
       C                   D
Oh, but now you are a placeholder
G            C
Blinded by desire
     C                     D
Oh, now you're just a placeholder
G             C
For someone wasting time
