CHORDS: G F C/E
There's Gsome things I don't have now
BbSome things I don't talk about
These Cthings are between myself andG I
In my G/Fthick skull theC/E jokerG hides
There's Gconsequences I'm scared to taste
BbCold hard truths I can't face
These Cdays are different than theG past
ReG/Fflections change in theC/E looking glasGs
And Dm/Feverywhere IC/E look there'sC/E something tGo learn
A Fsliver of truth from C/Eevery bridge weG burn
A Dm/Fhatful of C/Equarters C/Eand a nakedG song
Don't Fanswer theC/E question ofD where we Dbelong
How come Gbirds
Don't fall from theF sky when theGy die?
How come Bbbirds
Always look for aC quiet place to hide
These Gwords
Can't explain whatF I feel iGnside?
Like Bbbirds I need aC quiet place tGo hide

CHORDS: G F C/E
These independent moves I make
This confidence I try to fake
You can hear the beating of my heart
But not a feather falling in the dark
And everything I hear never makes any sense
Another old prophet perched on the fence
A cupful of pencils and a self help guru
Don't answer the question of what I am to you
