[Intro: Tyler Joseph, Crowd Member]
I love you, Tyler!
Hello, and welcome to the Blurryface Tour
How we doin' so far? We doin' alright?
Is it cool if we play a few older ones for ya, yeah?
[Verse 1: Joseph]
A D F#m
Your grandpa died when you were nine
E A
They said he had lost his mind
D F#m
You have learned way too soon
E A D F#m E
You should never trust the pantaloon
A F#m
You are tired, you are hurt
E D
A moth ate through your favorite shirt
A F#m E
And all your friends fertilize the ground you walk
E/G# D A
Lose your mind
[Verse 2: Joseph]
A D
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
F#m E
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
A D
When I make you cry
F#m E
Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind
[Verse 3: Joseph, Crowd, Joseph & Crowd]

Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus

Singing songs that nobody wrote
Bb F Dm C F Dm C
Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus
Bb F Dm C
One that everybody knows

Singing songs that nobody wrote
[Verse 4: Joseph]

Why won't you let me go

Do I threaten all your plans?

What have I become?

[Bridge: Joseph]
G D/F#
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
Em C G
I know I haven't been the best of sons
G D/F#
Hello, I've been traveling in the deserts of my mind
Em C
And I haven't found a drop
[Verse 6: Joseph]
G
I tried desperately to run through the sand
D/F#
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
Em
'Cause it's all that I have, and it's all that I need
C
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me
G
But I tried my best and all that I can
D/F#
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
C
The sand will slow me down, and the water will drain
G
I'm just begin dramatic, in fact
D/F#
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to wind
Em
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
C
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
G
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
As a walking denial
D/F#
My trial was filed
As a crazy suicidal headcase
Em
But you specialize in dying
C
You hear me screaming, "Father!"
And I'm lying here just crying
G D/F# Em C
So wash me with your water
[Outro: Joseph, Crowd, Joseph & Crowd]
C
We're broken
We're broken
G
We're broken
Am G
We're broken people, oh
F G C
We're broken people, oh, yeah
C
We're bro-
