don't be late
there's no time to be afraid
there's a way
to clean up the mess you've made
Amif I could tell the truth

  Amdon't say it's just a Em7game we play
I can't lose the taste
Gif you Amregulate how the blood is pumping
through the veins from my heart into my Ghead
in time this blood supply
will D/F#change me from red to white
  Amevery thought that you know I'm thinking

Band/Artist: Emery

Album/Year: The Question (2005)

Tuning: 1/2 step down

A7sus4 (picked throughout the intro)

don't be late

there's no time to be afraid

there's a way

to clean up the mess you've made

if I could tell the truth

G D/F#

or lie would I attempt the two at the same time

Am G

expect you to apologize for trying

D/F# Am

to make me so up tight

Am Em7

don't say it's just a game we play

I can't lose the taste

G Am

if you regulate how the blood is pumping

through the veins from my heart into my head

in time this blood supply

D/F#

will change me from red to white

every thought that you know I'm thinking

may as well be the knife stuck in my back

G D/F# Am Em

this taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place

this is still my life

G Am

not yours to define

Em Am D/F# G

(anyone in their right mind would never let you inside

Em Am D/F#

anyone in their right mind)

Em Am

I've broken ties with the neighborhood

D/F# G Em

feeling like a bum in the city

Am D/F# G

waking only to take a drink

Em Am

from an empty glass of nothing good

D/F# G Em

then sinking like a stone in the sea

Am D/F# G

without the oxygen I need

deciding as I wait for air to entertain

CM7 Em Em7

careful not to (to breathe in [3x])

the right time and the right way to elevate

CM7 Em Em7

careful not to (to breathe in [3x])

G A7sus4

to breathe in the air that so proudly puts to death

my own Father's name

Gsus2 G Em7 G

I re--member when your hand started shaking

Gsus2 G

there's a better way

Gsus2 G Em7 G

to clean up the mess you've been making
