Intro 
Cmaj7 Bm7 Em7 
Cmaj7 D   Bm7 
Em7 

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

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


Refrain 
Oh 
Cmaj7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Bm7            Em7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Cmaj7          D 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Bm7            Em7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 

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

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


Refrain 
Oh 
Cmaj7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Bm7            Em7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Cmaj7          D 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Bm7            Em7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Cmaj7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Bm7            Em7 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Cmaj7          D 
Na na na na na na hey hey 
Bm7            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 
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive 
    Bm7                           Em7 
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid 
Bm7    Cmaj7                          D 
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles 
      Bm7                       Em7 
Where your life and my life directions can wrangle 
    Cmaj7 
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle 
    Bm7                   Em7 
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall 
Em7 Cmaj7                  D 
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret 
   Bm7                 Em7 
To sting alive without actually breathing
