[Verse 1]
C5 G Gm G
I was feeling nostalgic
Gm G Gm G
for the days when my thoughts dripped
Gm F Fm F
on to my head from the ceiling
Fm C5
I remember the feeling
G Gm G
of the muse-less existence
Gm G Gm G
of the drunk, bored, and listless
Gm F Fm F
Endless waiting for something
Fm C5
that I knew wasn't coming
[Chorus]
F
And it seems these days I'm
C5 Csus2 C5 G Gsus4 G
captive in this borrowed time
F
seems these days I'm
C5 Csus2 C5 G Gsus4 G
captive in this borrowed time
F
seems these days I'm
C5 Csus2 C5 G Gsus4 G
captive in this borrowed time
F C5
seems these days I'm captive in this

[Verse 2]
C5 G Gm G
I was up to my neck in
Gm G Gm G
motivation, neglect when
Gm F Fm F
I felt soft waves of purpose
Fm C5
crashing on to the surface
G Gm G
I was feeling nostalgic
Gm G Gm G
for the days when my thoughts dripped
Gm F Fm F
on to my head from the ceiling
Fm C5
I remember the feeling
[Chorus]

C5 Csus2 C5 G Gsus4 G
captive in this borrowed time
