Intro:
G D/F# E E5 Em D G
G D/F# E5 Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C
Em D G D/F# E5
What a wonderful hesitation
Em D C D/F# E5
who would bear to feel sorry for me
Em D G F# E
dropped another pill just to calm me
Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
C(9)
There I was drifting
G Am C G
way out into the sunshine
Am7 C G
expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Am7 C G
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
Am C G D/F# E
I might be a mess but I sure can survive
Em D G D/F# E5
find myself awake counting sad days
Em D C D/F# E5
1-2-3 that's too many for me
Em D G F# E
dropped another pill just to find me
Em D
reached for my hand
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
but it was already there
C(9)
then I started believin'
G Am C G
that I fell out of a tiny raindrop
Am7 C G
that lost it's way when it decided to roam
Am7 C G
chasing me was a hungry dweller
Am C G
but I had escaped it by pretending to die
C Cmaj7 C
Come follow me you won't expect the illusion
G D/F# E
you'll see, it's my immagination
C Cmaj7 C
hand me your eyes
C
I will put them in front of mine
G
You'll see a little better
You'll see a little better
Bridge:
G D/F# E E5 Em D G
G D/F# E5 Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C
Em D G D/F# E5
What a wonderful destination
Em D C D/F# E5
where I'm now I can no longer see
Em D G F# E
dropped another pill just to kill me
Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
C(9)
there I was drifting
G Am C G
way out into the sunshine
Am C G
expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Am C G
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
Am C G
I might be a mess but I sure can survive
Am C G
But i had escaped it by pretending to die.
Am C G
