[Verse 1]
F#m6Breathing in the dC#7ark, lying on its F#mside
F#m6The ruins of the C#7day painted with a F#mscar
F#m6And the more I straighten C#7out, the less it wants to F#mtry
F#m6The feelings start to C#7rot, one wink at a tF#mime, oh
[Chorus 1]
  BmForC#mgiving who you aAre for wDhat you stC#mand to gBmain
Just C#mknow that if you hAide, it Ddoesn'C#mt go Bmaway
When C#myou get out of bAed don't eDnd up Bmstranded
HoC#rrified with each stone, C#7on the stage my little dark age
F#mx4 (until verse comes back in)
[Verse 2]
F#m6Picking through the caC#7rds, knowing what's F#mnearby
F#m6The carvings on the fC#7ace say they find it F#mhard
F#m6And the engine's failed agC#7ain, all limits of dF#misguise
F#m6The humor's not the sC#7ame coming from deF#mnial, oh
[Chorus 2]
  BmI gC#mrieve in stAereo, thDe stereo sC#mounds stBmrange
I kC#mnow that if you hiAde, it dDoesn't C#mgo aBmway
If yC#mou get out of beAd and fiDnd me Bmstanding
AC#ll alone, open-eyed, bC#7urn the page my little dark age
[Instrumental]
 F#m   C#m7   B7   Bdim   F#m   C#7   F#m   C#7x2
[Chorus 3]
  BmI gC#mrieve in steAreo, the DsteC#mreo sounds stBmrange
You kC#mnow that if it hAides, it doDesn't C#mgo aBmway
If C#mI get out of bAed You'll sDee me stBmanding
alC#l alone, Horrified, OC#7n the stage My little dark age
F#mx4 (until bridge comes in)
[Bridge]
F#m6Giddy with deC#7light
Seeing what's to cF#mome
F#m6The image of the C#7dead
Dead ends in my F#mmind
[Chorus 4]
  BmPolC#micemen swear to gAod love's seDeping C#mfrom the Bmguns
I kC#mnow my friends and AI would proDbably C#mturn and Bmrun
If yoC#mu get out of bAed, come fDind us hBmeading
FoC#r the bridge, bring a stone, aC#7ll the rage my little dark age
[Chorus 3]
  BmI gC#mrieve in stAereo, thDe stereo sC#mounds stBmrange
I kC#mnow that if you hiAde, it dDoesn't C#mgo aBmway
If yC#mou get out of beAd and fiDnd me Bmstanding

Breathing in the dark, lying on its side

The ruins of the day painted with a scar

And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try

For the bridge, bring a stone, all the rage my little dark age
