[Verse 1]
You'rF#me weak on the suErface
You Dspeak when you're nervous
And aF#mll the wrong words seems rigEht in your head
                       DN.C.
  You can't stand the space in your bed
[Verse 2]
So you F#mshake in the daErkness
You Dbreak like an artist
And aF#mll your big plans are smaEll the next day
  DYou cannot wait to throw them away
[Pre-Chorus]
BmYo--A--u Eperseverate
And the Bmtru-A-th Emight be a million miles away
[Chorus]
  AHide your Esecrets, diDsguise your weakness
And lF#mose yourself insiEde your busy headD  
  ABurn your Ebridges and Dleave no witnesses
AF#mll alone insiEde your busy headD  
[Interlude]
Your busy heF#madE  D  
[Verse 3]
You F#msleep in the mEoment
But Ddream like a poet
And aF#mll your good grace, like fEaded tattoos
                          DN.C.
  You spend your days in wait for bad news
[Pre-Chorus]
So Bmyo--A--u Eperseverate
And the Bmtru-A-th Emight be a million miles away
[Chorus]
  AHide your Esecrets, diDsguise your weakness
And lF#mose yourself insiEde your busy headD  
  ABurn your Ebridges and Dleave no witnesses
AF#mll alone insiEde your busy headD  
[Bridge]
Going nowhere Bmfast enough to tell a lie
  AGive yourself an alibi
You've been Egone latelyE  
  BmStand upon your peace of mind
  AYou're bound to fall if you take your time
'Cause we're Eall waitingE  
And you can Bmstep alone into the abyss
  AFind a home on the edge of it
And be deEfined by its presence
By its Esize and its message
You can Bmmove along through the dark
  AAnd when you wonder where you are
You'll be Eproud of your weakness
So, busEy head, just keep breathing
[Break]
OhA  E  D  
Oh, busy head, just keep brAeathingE  D  
Oh, busy head, just
[Chorus]
  AHide your Esecrets, diDsguise your weakness
And lF#mose yourself insiEde your busy headD  
  ABurn your Ebridges and Dleave no witnesses
AF#mll alone insiEde your busy headD  
You're aF#mll alone insiEde your busy headD  
You're aF#mll alone insiEde your busy headD

[Verse 1]

F#m E

You're weak on the surface

You speak when you're nervous

F#m E

And all the wrong words seems right in your head

N.C.

You can't stand the space in your bed

[Verse 2]

F#m E

So you shake in the darkness

You break like an artist

F#m E

And all your big plans are small the next day

You cannot wait to throw them away

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm A E

Yo----u perseverate

Bm A E

And the tru--th might be a million miles away

[Chorus]

A E D

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness

F#m E D

And lose yourself inside your busy head

A E D

Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses

F#m E D

All alone inside your busy head

[Interlude]

F#m E D

Your busy head

[Verse 3]

F#m E

You sleep in the moment

But dream like a poet

F#m E

And all your good grace, like faded tattoos

N.C.

You spend your days in wait for bad news

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm A E

So yo----u perseverate

Bm A E

And the tru--th might be a million miles away

A E D

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness

F#m E D

And lose yourself inside your busy head

A E D

Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses

F#m E D

All alone inside your busy head

[Bridge]

Going nowhere fast enough to tell a lie

Give yourself an alibi

E E

You've been gone lately

Stand upon your peace of mind

You're bound to fall if you take your time

E E

'Cause we're all waiting

And you can step alone into the abyss

Find a home on the edge of it

And be defined by its presence

By its size and its message

You can move along through the dark

And when you wonder where you are

You'll be proud of your weakness

So, busy head, just keep breathing

[Break]

A E D

Oh, busy head, just keep breathing

Oh, busy head, just

[Chorus]

A E D

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness

F#m E D

And lose yourself inside your busy head

A E D

Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses

F#m E D

All alone inside your busy head

F#m E D

You're all alone inside your busy head

F#m E D

You're all alone inside your busy head
