N.C.
I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
N.C.
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
N.C.
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
N.C.
I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
N.C.
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
I've Cmaj7painted your patterns but found them attractive.
Now Bm7I have been leaning towards a Em7life far more candid,
Bm7Though Cmaj7led through the dark with your Deyes as my candles,
Where Bm7your life, and my life, diEm7rections can wrangle.
And Cmaj7all of a sudden you've left me to handle
The Bm7reasons that never forEm7bid me to stand tall.
Em7And Cmaj7somehow or somewhere I Dfound out the secret -
To Bm7sting alive without Em7actually breathing.

In Some dark room:
Cmaj7 Bm7
A smoky figure fills me full,
Bm7 Em7 Cmaj7
Makes my head swell in ruin.
D Bm7
My family kneels at their pew,
Bm7 Em7 Cmaj7
They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"

I feel it rise above me,
Em7
The western landscapes towering,
Cmaj7 D
And from my shell of a body
Bm7 Em7
The flowers blossom for picking.

N..
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.

N..
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.

N..
I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
C
N..
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
Cmaj7
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive.
Bm7 Em7
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid,
Bm7 Cmaj7 D
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
Bm7 Em7
Where your life, and my life, directions can wrangle.
Cmaj7
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
Bm7 Em7
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall.
Em7 Cmaj7 D
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
Bm7 Em7
To sting alive without actually breathing.
