[Intro]
Gm G# Fm
Gm G# Fm
[Verse 1]
You go Gmon and on and on G#and on and oFmn
About your plight
Tell me, wGmill you be alrG#ight?
Tell me iFmf you'll be alright
You go Gmon and on and on G#and on and on
As Fmif I didn't care
And I Gmwish I could be theG#re
God, I Fmwish I could be there for you
[Instrumental]
Gm G# Fm
Gm G# Fm
[Chorus]
GmStay back, cG#ome back, make Fmup your mind
Gm'Cause I can fG#eel it gettin' imminentFm  
GmI know G#you feel a bFmit resigned
GmAnd I have nG#ever been articulate
FmSo say, are you saGmfe?G#  Fm  
Are you safGme?    G#      FmAre you safeGm?G#  Fm  
Are you safGme?    G#      FmAre you safeGm?G#  Fm  
[Verse 2]
GmTryin' on my slip-on disG#guise
I'm wondering which wFmire I done tripped on this time
Stuttering in eGmvery language I have ever learnedG#  
And I'm usually hella goFmod at feeling very unconcerned
But there's something in my eGmye
Or it's something from the skG#y
Oh fuck it, I'm cryFming, now here's a bunch of reasons why
And maybe I should foGmcus on the one that's most feroG#cious
I split my ribs oFmpen, ain't nobody even notice
Look at all this blGmood
This whole damn kitchen's about to fG#lood
Afraid to diFmrty up your hospital scrubs or fuck up your buzz
When I'm gGmone don't pretend like you diG#dn't know what it was
And nFmah, I don't mean when I die
I mean when I leGmave without saying goodbG#ye
'Cause I'm offended that I'm hurFmting and your care is denied
You just gon' stare at the Gmsky?
Alright, bet, I'ma bear it in mG#ind
But when it hFmurts, don't compare it to mine
[Chorus]
GmStay back, cG#ome back, make Fmup your mind
Gm'Cause I can fG#eel it gettin' imminentFm  
GmI know G#you feel a bFmit resigned
GmAnd I have nG#ever been articulate
FmSo say, are you saGmfe?G#  Fm  
Are you safGme?    G#      FmAre you safeGm?G#  Fm  
Are you safGme?    G#      FmAre you safeGm?G#  Fm  
Okay, bye

You go on and on and on and on and on

About your plight

[Verse 2]

Gm G#

Tryin' on my slip-on disguise

I'm wondering which wire I done tripped on this time

Gm G#

Stuttering in every language I have ever learned

And I'm usually hella good at feeling very unconcerned

But there's something in my eye

Or it's something from the sky

Oh fuck it, I'm crying, now here's a bunch of reasons why

Gm G#

And maybe I should focus on the one that's most ferocious

I split my ribs open, ain't nobody even notice

Look at all this blood

This whole damn kitchen's about to flood

Afraid to dirty up your hospital scrubs or fuck up your buzz

Gm G#

When I'm gone don't pretend like you didn't know what it was

And nah, I don't mean when I die

Gm G#

I mean when I leave without saying goodbye

'Cause I'm offended that I'm hurting and your care is denied

You just gon' stare at the sky?

Alright, bet, I'ma bear it in mind

But when it hurts, don't compare it to mine

[Chorus]

Gm G# Fm

Stay back, come back, make up your mind

Gm G# Fm

'Cause I can feel it gettin' imminent

Gm G# Fm

I know you feel a bit resigned

Gm G#

And I have never been articulate

Fm Gm G# Fm

So say, are you safe?

Gm G# Fm Gm G# Fm

Are you safe? Are you safe?

Gm G# Fm Gm G# Fm

Are you safe? Are you safe?

Okay, bye
