Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D Bm7 Bm7
Em7 Em7

Verse:
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
My world astir and sickly
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Spits out our voices singing,
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
"Tra la la" on high now
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
To kingdom come so slightly.
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Herein the void in your place,
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
I twitch and tweak in allusion
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
To sit and stare so blankly
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Until all hope is used up

Chorus:
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
Where do you go when I'm around?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Refrain:
Oh
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

Verse
Em7 Em7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
In Some dark room:
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7
A A smoky figure fills me full,
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Makes my head swell in ruin.
D D Bm7 Bm7
My family kneels at their pew,
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7
I feel it rise above me,
Em7 Em7
The western landscapes towering,
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
And from my shell of a body
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
The flowers blossom for picking.

Chorus:
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
Where do you go when I'm around?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7 D D
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Refrain:
Oh
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

Bridge:
NC
I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
NC
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
NC
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
NC
I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
NC
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive.
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid,
Bm7 Bm7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
Where your life, and my life, directions can wrangle.
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall.
Em7 Em7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
Bm7 Bm7 Em7 Em7
To sting alive without actually breathing.
