Bb
I wanna run from the apathy
from the questioning tongues
G
and eyes that just won't come off
Bb
and get a job in an industry
where a smile's not required
G
and the complaints are always the same
Bb
cause baby you must be so fed up
with a boy that keeps telling you
G
how much good he's gonna do
Bb
when all that is happening 'round here
is happening in here
and nothing gets out there
G
except for the truth
Em Bm
it's up to you
C Am C
cause I'm absolutely numb
Em Bm
it's up to you
Am C D
cause I'm absolutely numb
Bb G Bb G
Bb
I've been adrift on the silver surf
and I've paddled ahead of the fear
G
that I'd fall behind
Bb
I took drinks from the glitter smurfs
and their company dads who never
G
stood by in the crying
Bb
cause no one does and nobody ever will
there is only space for one
and surely he gets killed
G
when the engine seizes up
Bb
you might call it existential crisis
I simply call it the bravery
G
of emptiness
Em Bm
it's up to you
C Am C
cause I'm absolutely numb
Em Bm
it's up to you
Am C D
cause I'm absolutely numb
