PBC would often use odd chord voicings, so this won't sound completely perfect, but it's
a start, and will sound totally fine for just strumming along, singing and playing acoustic.
Please keep this in mind when rating. Don't rate poorly without offering corrections and feedback.
[Intro]
E
E G#m F#m (x2)
[Verse]
E
Yeah, you're lookin' tired and broken
G#m F#m E
Like the pillar of a dock, dead sitting
G#m F#m
The water hitting you, but never breaking through
E G#m F#m
Is "going places" getting somewhere now?
E
You should be running faster or down days will shatter you,
G#m F#m
Talking on what's overdue
[Chorus]
B A
Let me ask you once and not again,
B A
Are we half asleep or walking dead?
B A
Let me tell you how the times have changed
B A
The wasteland isn't just for the teenaged
[Verse]
E G#m F#m E
You look so together, slightly disheveled like the free spirit that you are
G#m F#m
It's so impressive, doing what's done by few, living your life in bloom
E G#m F#m
Might feel like the wait staff on the midnight train
E
You've got your heart in your pocket, heavier than river rocks
G#m F#m
How slow till it's full stop?
[Chorus]
B A
Let me ask you once and not again,
B A
Are we half asleep or walking dead?
B A
Let me tell you how the times have changed
B A
The wasteland isn't just for the teenaged
[Bridge]
F#m A C#m
Ginny eyes, is this my exciting life?
B F#m
Or just a lie, 'cause the borderline gets thinner
A C#m
(Between here) Between here and that small town
B
I can't outrun it on
A E B F#m A E B F#m
Bottled wind
[Verse]
A E B F#m
Bottled wind
F#m
I can't outrun it on
A E B
Bottled wind
A
It's only
E
It's only worth what's usin' it
[Interlude]
E G#m F#m E G#m F#m
Yeaaaah!
[Chorus]
E
Let me ask you once and not again,
G#m
Are we half asleep or walking dead?
E
Let me tell you how the times have changed
C#m B
The wasteland isn't just for the teenaged
A
I'll tell it and be done,
G#m F#m E
Swimming is how sinking isn't sunk.
