[Intro]
 Bm   Em   D   C#x2
[Verse 1]
WBmoke up feeling like it put the Emlotion in the basket
DCan you even recall the C#times
BeBmfore your pheromones took your Emcommon sense hostage
And Dleft you in the rain to drC#y
And Bmif you've ever gotten everyEmthing that you wanted well
DWouldn't that be some kiC#ng shit
But Bmas the case would have it
Well, you Emcertainly haven't
You've been Dhand-to-mouthing every step of C#it
[Instrumental]
 Bm   Em   D   C#x2
[Verse 2]
BmAll the old-timers in the Emneighborhood swear
That you're Dcursed with a face peoplC#e hate
But Bmevery single one of them's an Emendless variation
Of DPopeye raised on lead C#paint
[Pre-Chorus]
And Bmall the "woulda coulda shoulEmda
EmDid it cause my buddy's over
DGet to it when this here is doneC#"
ReBmpeated time and time again
It Emgrows into a second skin
I Dcan't believe there even could beC#  
[Chorus]
A Bmsecret life beEmtween your eyes that I Ddon't seem to seeC#  
Are you Bmsatisfied with Emwaiting here for Dheaven foC#rever?
A Bmsecret life beEmtween your eyes that I Ddon't seem to seeC#  
Are you Bmsatisfied with Emwaiting here for Dheaven foC#rever?
[Instrumental]
 Bm   Em   D   C#x2
[Verse 3]
BmWaiting for your schemes only Emweakens at the seams
All the Dscenes that you've spun in the darkC#  
And Bmwho wants weak desires waiting Emfor them in the wings
After Dyears of leathering your C#scars
[Pre-Chorus]
And Bmall the "woulda coulda shoulEmda
EmDid it cause my buddy's over
DGet to it when this here is doneC#"
ReBmpeated time and time again
It Emgrows into a second skin
I Dcan't believe there even could beC#  
[Chorus]

Are you Bmsatisfied with Emwaiting here for Dheaven foC#rever?
A Bmsecret life beEmtween your eyes that I Ddon't seem to seeC#  
Are you Bmsatisfied with Emwaiting here for Dheaven foC#rever?
[Chorus]
N.C.
A secret life between your eyes that I don't seem to see
N.C.   
Are you satisfied with waiting here for heaven forever?
A Bmsecret life beEmtween your eyes that I Ddon't seem to seeC#  
Are you Bmsatisfied with Emwaiting here for Dheaven foC#rever?

[Intro]

Bm Em D C#

[Verse 1]

Bm Em

Woke up feeling like it put the lotion in the basket

D C#

Can you even recall the times

Bm Em

Before your pheromones took your common sense hostage

D C#

And left you in the rain to dry

Bm Em

And if you've ever gotten everything that you wanted well

D C#

Wouldn't that be some king shit

But as the case would have it

Well, you certainly haven't

D C#

You've been hand-to-mouthing every step of it

[Instrumental]

Bm Em D C#

[Verse 2]

Bm Em

All the old-timers in the neighborhood swear

D C#

That you're cursed with a face people hate

Bm Em

But every single one of them's an endless variation

D C#

Of Popeye raised on lead paint

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm Em

And all the "woulda coulda shoulda

Did it cause my buddy's over

D C#

Get to it when this here is done"

Repeated time and time again

It grows into a second skin

D C#

I can't believe there even could be

[Chorus]

Bm Em D C#

A secret life between your eyes that I don't seem to see

Bm Em D C#

Are you satisfied with waiting here for heaven forever?

Are you satisfied with waiting here for heaven forever?

And all the "woulda coulda shoulda

A secret life between your eyes that I don't seem to see

N.C.

Are you satisfied with waiting here for heaven forever?

Are you satisfied with waiting here for heaven forever?
