Capo 1
Intro:
C F Am G
Verse1: 
CWaiting in line,
Fpassing the time Amreading four month old Gmagazines.
CThe pale walls given life by tFhe florescent lights,
Amexposing stains in the carpeGting.
CAnd sitting at my side this Fmockery of life:
Ama plastic plant strictly for tGasteless decor.
CNo one makes a sound
but Fthe sirens seeping through the sAmpace between the door aGnd the floor.
Chorus:
Well thDmere's nothing left to sFay.
The Cword's just Gcollapse into
Dmcolorful wFaves in the spCectrum of sGound
and Dmit's easy on the Fears
and Cit's nice to hGear
buFt it doesn't mGean a thiAmng.
No Fit doesn't meGan a thing.
C F Am G
Verse2:
The silence breaks
like a small earthquake shattering the calm - it's my name.
The familiar scent of sterile instruments
filters out from inside the hallway.
Your chin falls towards your lap, you know you can't come back
Just one more thing to make this a little bit harder.
You'll wait for the turn out.
Until then a sense of doubt hangs in the air like grief in a funeral parlor.
Chorus:
Well thDmere's nothing left to sFay.
The Cword's just Gcollapse into
Dmcolorful wFaves in the spCectrum of sGound
and Dmit's easy on the Fears
and Cit's nice to hGear
buFt it doesn't mGean a thAming
NoF, it doesn't mGean

Capo 1

Intro:

C F Am G

Verse1:

Waiting in line,

F Am G

passing the time reading four month old magazines.

C F

The pale walls given life by the florescent lights,

Am G

exposing stains in the carpeting.

C F

And sitting at my side this mockery of life:

Am G

a plastic plant strictly for tasteless decor.

No one makes a sound

F Am G

but the sirens seeping through the space between the door and the floor.

Chorus:

Dm F

Well there's nothing left to say.

C G

The word's just collapse into

Dm F C G

colorful waves in the spectrum of sound

Dm F

and it's easy on the ears

C G

and it's nice to hear

F G Am

but it doesn't mean a thing.

F G

No it doesn't mean a thing.

C F Am G

Verse2:

The silence breaks

like a small earthquake shattering the calm - it's my name.

The familiar scent of sterile instruments

filters out from inside the hallway.

Your chin falls towards your lap, you know you can't come back

Just one more thing to make this a little bit harder.

You'll wait for the turn out.

Until then a sense of doubt hangs in the air like grief in a funeral parlor.

Chorus:

Dm F

Well there's nothing left to say.

C G

The word's just collapse into

Dm F C G

colorful waves in the spectrum of sound

Dm F

and it's easy on the ears

but it doesn't mean a thing

F G

No, it doesn't mean

So tell me I'm okay with no areas of gray.

C F G

so tell me I'm okay
