 G   C   Em:||
I Gwatch these proCjections of Emus
You're Gmagnetic and CI cannot keep Emup

And I Cfeel as your head arGose
You're a Ffigment
I believed Cit
 G   C   Em:||
I Gdepart, your dog Cdied toEmday
And you Gdrive all the way here to tell me Ci'm okEmay
And I Gleft and I didn't Csay goodEmbye
And I Gran all the way home in the Cgray moonEmlight
It's Cdark now but we made it that Gway
With what we dCrink and how we think and what we Gsay
We degrade Fourselves
And then exCpect help
 G   C   Em:||
It's Gmorning, we're still in Cthe same Emplace
We are diGluted, we are the only Cones awEmake
And you Ghold me like you do it CeverydEmay
I chase a Ggraceful way to erase or to Crun awEmay
We dCiverge and I collapse into my Gbed
And you are Cshoved awkwardly into my Ghead
Wage sleep to Fsleep in

G C Em

I watch these projections of us

G C Em

You're magnetic and I cannot keep up

C G

And I feel as you move in real close

C G

And I feel as your head arose

You're a figment

I believed it

G C Em

G C Em

I depart, your dog died today

G C Em

And you drive all the way here to tell me i'm okay

G C Em

And I left and I didn't say goodbye

G C Em

And I ran all the way home in the gray moonlight

C G

It's dark now but we made it that way

C G

With what we drink and how we think and what we say

We degrade ourselves

And then expect help

G C Em

G C Em

It's morning, we're still in the same place

G C Em

We are diluted, we are the only ones awake

G C Em

And you hold me like you do it everyday

G C Em

I chase a graceful way to erase or to run away

C G

We diverge and I collapse into my bed

C G

And you are shoved awkwardly into my head

Wage sleep to sleep in
