Intro:

Dm C G F

A place you've never been to, people you don't know

It's not your hole to be in, easy to let it go

But deep down at the bottom, in the back of your mind

The saddest sense of being, finds you every night

And everyone you love is already gone

I dreamt that I was drowning in the middle of the sea

But things like that don't happen, to people like me

And that's just what you tell yourself

The dead eye leave in the background

The dead eye leave in the day

The dead eye leave in the background

The dead eye leave in the day

You can't escape the feeling, it's in everything you do

Consider yourself lucky that you have as much to lose

And try not to waste your life, thinking about the end

The message and the meaning, well you knew it all along

The thing about forever it goes on and on and on

Sometimes I wish I would give it all back

The dead eye leave in the background

The dead eye leave in the day

The dead eye leave in the background

The dead eye leave in the day

Am F

Where you been hiding all your demons

G F

How can you look me in the eye

Am C Dm

If you can tell me, when can you tell me why

Dm C G F

... x2

The dead eye leave

The dead eye leave in the day

The dead eye leave

The dead eye leave in the day
