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
