[Intro]
Fm Eb Db C (x2)
[Verse 1]
Fm Eb
I start to part two halves of my heart in the dark and I
Db
Don't know where I should go
C
And the tears and the fears begin to multiply
Fm
Taking time in a simple place
Eb
In my bed where my head rests on a pillowcase
Db
And it's said that a war's led but I forget
C
That I let another day go by
Fm
I want to be afraid but it seems that these days
Eb
I'm caught under water and I'm falling farther
Db
My heart's getting harder, I'm calling my father
C
Am I screaming to an empty sky?
Fm Eb
Empty sky, no way, that's me cause one half of my heart is free
Db C
Empty sky, no way, that's me cause the other half of my heart's asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Fm Db
Sing a song but don't believe
Db Ab
Blasphemy is just for me
Ab Ab
Hypocrite, take your pick
Ab
Cause the poison's on my lips
[Chorus]
Fm
Can I understand you?
Db
Can I understand you?
Ab
Can I understand you?
Eb
Can I understand you?
[Post-Chorus]
Fm Eb Db C
[Verse 2]
Fm
Lights, camera, action, satisfaction
Eb Db
At your finger tips no one's lacking stuff
But it's not enough when it seems that
C
We have enough stuff just to blow stuff up
Fm Eb
Lights, camera, stop! We're killing ourselves
Just to get to the top
Db
But we won't stop talking about what we got
C
And how we all love it when we're loved a lot
Fm
Enough about you, let's talk about me
Eb
And how everybody thinks I'm just so free
Db
Free? Did you hear the verse that came first
C
And how my own body's waging war on me?
Fm
I bet you didn't know something as absurd
Eb
There's a word that is said more than any other word
Db
It's sorry, sorry
C
And I pray that the word was heard
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Fm Db
Sing a song but don't believe
Db Ab
Blasphemy is just for me

Cause the poison's on my lips

Let the water wash away

Everything that you've become
Db Ab
On your knees, today is gone
Eb Fm
And tomorrow's sure to come
Db Ab
Tomorrow's sure to come
