[Verse 1]
There's a Emajhole in my Emhat
Shows a Bnear miss grazing
EmajMy scalp and my Emhand
Are the Bonly injuries
EmajI'll stand if I Emcan
When I Bfall, forget me
[Bridge]
E5Will you resEb5pond if E5I float Eb5in?
Yes, E5welcome me Eb5back with a F#5marcEb5hing B5band
[Verse 2]
There's a Emajhole in the Emozone
So Blife's worth giving
EmajUp and when I Emdo, now,
won't you Bplease forgive me
EmajIt's not that I've Emlost
'Cause in a Bway, well, I've been winning
[Bridge]
E5Will you resEb5pond if E5I limp Eb5in?
E5Welcome me Eb5back with a F#5marcEb5hing B5band
[Chorus 1]
There's Emajpart of you that can't help
But to see right through this part of me
And so when I Bgo around round and I Emajhit the town
And when I Bcan't be found, then you Emajwait for sounds
Well it's Emajover you, yet under me
And if it's the way it should be then I won't bother
Your Bpoint of view is the Emajpoint in me
So when you Bhear a loud sound it means I'm Emajback from town
Now Ball this night is on Emajmy side
[Post-Chorus 1]
EmajOooooEmoooh Blike a sitting Emajduck, Bfloating like a Emajswan then flying like a Emdove
EmajOooooEmoooh, la, Blike a sitting Emajduck
BFloating like a Emajswan and it's all Emafterthought
[Verse 3]
There's a Emajtoll at the Embridge
If I Bpay I'm giving in
EmajAnd if I Emdon't
Then I could Balways swim it
EmajWith wings I could Emfly
And Bavoid the risk of sinking
[Bridge]
E5Will you resEb5pond if E5I float Eb5in?
E5By now I've Eb5forgotten how to F#5use Eb5my fB5ins
[Chorus 2]
There's Emajpart of you that can't help
But to see right through this part of me
And so when I Bgo around round and I Emajhit the town
And when I Bcan't be found, found then you Emajwait for sounds
Well it's Emajover you, yet under me
And if it's the way it should be then I won't bother
Your Bpoint of view is the point of Emajme died
And when you Bhear a loud sound that means I'm Emajback from town now
BI rarely get to feel, you know, I hardly ever Emajfeel in
[Post-Chorus 2]
EmajPlaaaEmace Blike a sitting Emajduck, Bfloating like a Emajswan then flying like a Emdove
EmajOoh, Emla la, Bit's my faulty Emajlove
In the Bcorner like a Emajdunce it's all self-Emconscious thought
[Outro]
