Song In My Head

          G          C
There's a song in my head
      Am                    D
Oh, a line that never stops playing
        G           C
I'm not sure how it ends
                 Am                         D
I can't remember when I heard what you were saying

[Instrumental]
G C Am D

[Verse]
G                             C
I'll make the best out of the worst
                      Am               D                            G
I'll make up half the words and wear a t-shirt of a band I've never heard
G          C                  Am              D
Because it hurts to be on the outside looking in

[Pre-chorus]
A                     Adim7
Well, I do my best to listen
        D                           A
But I'm uncomfortable with too much silence
         A                        Adim7
From the passenger seat you said "what does that mean?"
            D                         A         D
I said "I'm learning to live with the violence, violence"
    A           B
But I'm not the kind that

[Chorus]
D           A
Wants to be lost
        F#m           E
I don't want to be forgotten
        D           A
I don't want to pretend
     F#m     E
That it's alright
  D                 A
I want to see these walls
F#m             E
Crumble and dissolve around

[Interlude]
G  C  Am  D
Me

[Verse]
Continues after the ad
G                       C
I got my golden diploma wearing a square crown
Am                           D                      G
The Class of '14 wore their capes like a reverend's gown
G                  C
All that education won't help us now
Am                             D
Attending funerals and watching friends break their vows

[Pre-chorus]
A                     Adim7
There's not much that I can protect
     D                  A
So I keep my good humor alive
A                     Adim7
Nothing disturbs your intellect
D                                       A
Like the feeling of something you can't deny
D         A  B
Justified

[Chorus]
D           A
I don't want to be lost
        F#m           E
I don't want to be forgotten
        D           A
I don't want to pretend
     F#m     E
That it's alright
  D                 A
I want to see these walls
F#m             E
Crumble and dissolve around

[Interlude]

[Verse]
G                 C
Saturday morning, 11 a.m.
Am                        D
Heard mom and dad talking money again
      G                        C
Fit a seven-person family in a five-seater van
  Am                          D
I guess all you can do is the best that you can
    G                           C
Dad pushed it all down like the Gibson in his hand
   Am                    D
To finish that song that never had a name
G                     C
I can still hear that song
      A         A
In my head

[Bridge]
A
Information, education, given in love
A
Questions, digest like sugar in my blood
A
Holding together what's meant to fall apart
A                                     B
Justify the reason for the way things are

[Chorus]
D           A
I don't want to be lost
        F#m           E
I don't want to be forgotten
         D           A
I've got reason to believe
     F#m    E
That I just might
  D                 A
Watch this city's walls
F#m             E
Crumble and dissolve around

I'm not afraid, not afraid to lose
E                            Bm  D
It's a voice that I can't refuse
        E                           Bm        D         E
Maybe I don't have the right to choose what calls my name
