[Intro]
C/G  D*  E7
C/G  D*  E7

[Verse 1]
C/G            D*
Last time that I saw you
E7
Both hands in the dirt
C/G          D*
Asking for a photograph
E7
A picture you did not deserve


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


[Verse 2]
C/G              D*
Last time that I heard your voice
E7
Words I couldn't comprehend
     C/G               D*
As a thousand years of feedback
E7
Screaming in my head


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


[Bridge]
Am  Fmaj7   Am Fmaj7  Am  Fmaj7   Cmaj7


[Verse 3]
C/G        D*
Curious, I came to you
E7
You wordlessly ignored
       C/G         D*            E7
As I stumbled psychically upon a truth I could not afford


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


[Verse 4]
    C/G             D*
And this is where I doubted you
    E7
And endless compromise
   C/G               D*                  E7
To say that you told me the truth is to tell each other lies


[Chorus]
        C/G           D*
Oh, but now you are a placeholder
G          C/G
Blinded by desire
    C/G               D*
Oh, now you're just a placeholder
    G               Cmaj7
For someone wasting time
