Tom: F#

Intro: C#  Bbm  G#m  F#

             C#
You were so young,
And I guess I'm old.
          F#
Open your eyes,
Ill keep mine closed.
          C#
I prefer standing,
And you take your seat.
        F#
I'll be wide awake,
And you'll be asleep.

(  Bbm Bbm/C C# C#/G#F# )

                Bbm      F#
And you'll fall dooown a hole.
           Bbm               F#
That's the one place we both know
            Bbm                                   F#
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go
            Fm                      F#                      C#  Bbm  G#m  F#
I guess sometimes we both loose our minds, to find a better road.

         C#
I can be pensive,
You can be so sure.
              F#
You'll be the poison,
You'll be the cure.
                 C#
I'm alone on the journey,
I'm alive none the less,
             F#
And when you do your very worst,
Mmmmm .. it feels the best.

                Bbm      F#
And you'll fall dooown a hole.

You take me with you if you could, but if you could I'd lose anything ...

Ebm                  Bbm
   Can't you see the faces melting
       C#
as the sun rains from their eyes
Ebm          Bbm
   go on and keep your head with
    C#                     Ebm
the hearts that you left behind
            Fm
look at yourself look in the
F#
mirror don't you see a lie?
         Ebm
that you tell yourself
again a thousand times
        Ebm
and the truth that makes us
                    F#
laugh will make you cry
          G#m
You wanna die? No?
