Intro: Em D A Em (x2) Verse Em D A Em Why do I deserve the science to feel better about you? Em D At a loss I lost my cool A Em I denied that I found you Em D I tried to be a basket case A Em I did not surprise you Em D I'm trying to find a signal fire A Em Let me know when I should move
G D But you, amplified in the silence A Em Justified in the way you make me bruise Em D Magnified in the science A Em Anatomically proved G A Em That you don't need me
Em D A Em (x2) Verse Em D Why do I desire the space? A Em I was mourning after you Em D I was lost and lost my shape A Em There was nothing I could do Em D I don't want to waste away A Em It was all I gave to you Em D Take me back and take my place A Em I will rise right up for you
G D But you, amplified in the silence A Em Justified in the way you make me bruise Em D Magnified in the science A Em Anatomically proved G A Em That you don't need me
Bridge Em A All the while you waste away, you're asking D G Fm Em 'Did I really need another one to take me down?' Em A Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling D G Fm Em Nobody's gonna tear you down now Em A There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection Em D A Em (x2) Outro Em There was nothing but quiet retractions D A And families pleading, 'Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good, Em I don't know how it got there' Em That was something your father had burned in me D Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity A Em 'You can go anywhere but you are where you came from' Em Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry D There is nothing but darkness and agony A Em I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Em Let me watch you as close as a memory D Let me hold you above all the misery A Em Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
