F C G Am
Now and again it seems worse than it is
F C G
But mostly the view is accurate.
F C G Am
You see your breath in the air as you climb up the stairs
F C G
to that coffin you call your apartment.
Am E
And you sink in your chair
C G
Brush the snow from your hair
C G F
And drink the cold away
Am E
You are not really sure
C G
What you're doing this for
C G F
But you need something to fill up the days
Am E
A few more hours
C G Am E
C G Am Am
F C G Am
There is a dream in my brain that just won't go away
F C G
It's been stuck there since it came a few nights ago
F C G Am
And I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived
F C G
As a kid with my mom and my brothers
Am E
And then the bridge disappears
C G
And I'm standing on air
C G F
With nothing holding me
Am E
And I hang like a star
C G
Fucking glow in the dark
C G F
For all those starving eyes to see
Am E
Like the ones we've wished on
(No guitar at this part, but if you want to keep playing)
C G
But now I'm confused
Am F
Is this death really you?
C G Am
And do these dreams have any meaning?
C G
No, no, I think it's more like a ghost
Am F
That's been following us both
C G Am
Something vague that we're not seeing
F C E7
Something more like a feeling
[Outro]
