Dm                      G
Can you hear the birds cry
             C          F
At your own funeral?
Dm                            G
They won't smile, they won't grin,
              C           F
They will just follow you

Dm                      G
In your head, in your head
         C         F
No disturbance no more
Dm                      G
In your head, in your head
               C                F
The choir has run out of young boys


[Chorus]

Am                  F
16 hours ago, you said
                     C       F
Follow my lead while I play dead
Am               F
16 days ago, in bed
                   C        F
Making up promises in your head

C     F
Please
             Am                G
Follow your head and not your heart
C     F
Please
             Am                   G
It has been wrong right from the start


[Bridge]

         F                                  C
And it takes a while, to watch the ship go down
         F                                  C
Yes, it takes a while to burn right to the ground


[Verse 2]

Dm                     G
Can you hear yourself lie
              C          F
Or are you oblivious?
Dm                        G
We are right here, right now
           C             F
But they have all flown away

Dm                      G
In your head, in your head
                C             F
It's always someone, but not you
Dm                      G
In your head, in your head
                 C                   F
The shouting stopped, now it's just you


[Chorus]

Am                  F
16 hours ago, you said
                     C       F
Follow my lead while I play dead
Am               F
16 days ago, in bed
                   C        F
Making up promises in your head

C     F
Please
             Am                G
Follow your head and not your heart
C     F
Please
             Am                   G
It has been wrong right from the start


[Outro]

         F                                  C
And it takes a while, to watch the ship go down
         F                                  C
Yes, it takes a while to burn right to the ground
         F                                  C
Just try your best to keep from getting drowned
         F                                    C
Yes, it takes a while, but someday you'll be found
