[Verse 1]

Dm C

It comes out the other way,

Gm Dm A

My cheeks all wet with tears,

Dm A

I can't stop laughing 'cause I know now,

Dm Gm Dm A

where I've been for all these years,

F A

You don't see my face around,

F Dm A

so you call and wonder why,

But my phone is off the hook,

Dm G

and it's dangling in the vines,

Dm F

and the feedback, it's in morse code,

Dm C

My pen is on the line, Hey!

[Chorus]

F A Dm F Dm A

If you could reach me would you cut off those puppet arms?

Dm A Dm F

'Cause I love you dearly and your carbon billboard,

Gm A

neon tombstone culture has me ringing this alarm.

[Verse 2]

Dm C

You want to believe it all so bad,

Gm Dm A

you wipe the prints off the trigger of the gun,

Dm A

Whatever culture we still share,

Dm Gm Dm A

we keep it safe inside these walls,

And it's getting to you now,

Dm G

you're certain like a child,

Dm F

scratching at that itch,

Dm C

is so familiar to you now, He-ey!

[Chorus]

F A Dm F Dm A

If you could reach me would you cut off those puppet arms?

Dm A Dm F

'Cause I love you dearly and your carbon billboard,

Gm A

neon tombstone culture has me ringing this alarm.
