[Intro]
F#m D A E
[Verse 1]
F#m D A
So I'm waiting by a phone
E F#m
For the blessed ring
D A
Like a holy grail
E F#m
For a fisher king
D A
Time is ticking down
E F#m
Like a metronome
D A
Rhythm for my brain
E D
And it's ceaseless scares
Bm D E
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
D Bm
Though my heart beat is a beat
E F#m
That beats so near
[Solo]
F#m D A E
[Verse 2]
F#m D A
So we had a talk last night
E F#m D A
About the heavy blow that you dealt in fight
E F#m
Your back against the wall
D A
It was a puzzle piece
E F#m D A
Important to the whole that I may not find
E D
You placed within the hole
Bm D E
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
D Bm E A
Like a puzzle where the pieces lost you and me
[Chorus]
F#m Bm
So I'm changing who I am
E A
Cause what I am's not good
F#m Bm
And I know you love me now
E A
But I don't see why you should
F#m Bm
And I don't see why you should
E A
No I don't see why you should
[Solo]
F#m D A E
[Verse 3]
F#m D A E F#m
So I drift into the end like a moth to light
D A E F#m
Down the boulevard to a coffee shop
D A
In the land of song
E F#m
In the land of wait
D A E D
Beat is bearing down on this lonely town
Bm D E
I never seem to write them down as good as him
D Bm E A
Like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in
[Chorus]
F#m Bm
So I'm changing who I am
E A
Cause what I am's not good
F#m Bm
And I know you love me now
E A
But I don't see why you should
F#m Bm
So I'm changing who I am
E A
Cause what I am's not good
F#m Bm
And I know you love me now
E A
Though I don't see why you should
F#m Bm
And I don't see why you should
E A
No I don't see why you should
