It's been Fstuck there since it Ccame a few Gnights ago
And I'm Fstanding on a Cbridge in the Gtown where I Amlived
As a Fkid with my Cmom and my Gbrothers
And then the Ambridge disapEpears
And I'm Cstanding on Gair
With Cnothing Gholding Fme
And I Amhang like a Estar
Fucking Cglow in the Gdark
For all those Cstarving Geyes to Fsee
Like the Amones we've Ewished on
(No guitar at this part, but if you want to keep playing)
But Cnow I'm conGfused
Is this Amdeath really Fyou?
  CAnd do these Gdreams have any Ammeaning?
No, no, I think it's Cmore like a Gghost
That's been Amfollowing us Fboth
  CSomething vGague that we're not sAmeeing
  FSomething Cmore like a E7feeling

F C G Am

Now and again it seems worse than it is

F C G

But mostly the view is accurate.

F C G Am

You see your breath in the air as you climb up the stairs

F C G

to that coffin you call your apartment.

Am E

And you sink in your chair

C G

Brush the snow from your hair

C G F

And drink the cold away

Am E

You are not really sure

C G

What you're doing this for

C G F

But you need something to fill up the days

Am E

A few more hours

C G Am E

C G Am Am

F C G Am

There is a dream in my brain that just won't go away

F C G

It's been stuck there since it came a few nights ago

F C G Am

And I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived

F C G

As a kid with my mom and my brothers

Am E

And then the bridge disappears

C G

And I'm standing on air

C G F

With nothing holding me

Am E

And I hang like a star

C G

Fucking glow in the dark

C G F

For all those starving eyes to see

Am E

Like the ones we've wished on

(No guitar at this part, but if you want to keep playing)

C G

But now I'm confused

Am F

Is this death really you?

C G Am

And do these dreams have any meaning?

C G

No, no, I think it's more like a ghost

Am F

That's been following us both

C G Am

Something vague that we're not seeing

F C E7

Something more like a feeling

[Outro]
