[Verse 1]

Am                     Em
 I'm looking through a portal
Am                      Em
 It's got eyes and a mastery of gravity
Am               G
 I'm lucky to be here now
      C
I was lonely
D           E
Talk to me, talk to me

Am                     Em
 I've got a new perspective
Am               Em
 The glass in my hand it ain't exactly full
Am               G
 The place at my table
      C
Is an empty stool
D           F       E     E5
Talk to me, talk to me-e-e

[Chorus]

B             Em                       B
 Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
                 Em             C
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
G               B                  Em
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
 C                      G
Scared of getting hurt again
                               D
But now I realise it's all for nothing - all for nothing!

[Instrumental]

Am    Em    Am    Em
Am    G     C     D  E

[Verse 2]

Am                      Em
 I'm like the bugs that sleep for years
Am              Em
 Conditions are ripe, they fly into the sun
Am             G
 The spectacle gets to you
        C
Life is always new
D           E
Talk to me, talk to me

Am              Em
 From my waking sleep I fear
Am                  Em
 You're planning to prise yourself away from me
Am                  G
 You're planning to exit from my misery
  C
I can take a lot
        D               F         E    E5
But I'm not prepared to face the alone

[Chorus]

B             Em                       B
 Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
                 Em             C
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
G               B                  Em
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
 C                      G
Scared of getting hurt again
                               D
But now I realise it's all for nothing - all for nothing!

[Instrumental]

Am    Em    Am    Em
Am    G     C     D  E
Am    Em    Am    Em
Am    G     C     D  F

[Verse 3]

A5                  E5
 All I want is your hand on mine
A5             E5
 Slow rubbing, ecstasy of company
A5              G5
 I'm facing the lonely night
        C5
With my fading sight
D5          E5
Talk to me, talk to me

A5            E5
 Many times I faced the wall
A5                E5
 I called for the peace and now I've got it all
A5                G5
 Peace grows into anguish
          C5
When your heart leaks
D5          F5      E     E5
Talk to me, talk to me-e-e

[Chorus]

B             Em                       B
 Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
                 Em             C
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
G               B                  Em
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
 C                      G
Scared of getting hurt again
                               D
But now I realise it's all for nothing - all for nothing!

B             Em                       B
 Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
                 Em             C
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
G               B                  Em
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
 C                      G
Scared of getting hurt again
                               D
But now I realise it's all for nothing - all for nothing!

[Outro]

B              Em                   B
 Delusions are all my present currency
                    Em           C         G
They're causing the poison in my veins and voices
        B                    Em
Hearing voices telling me to beat the clock
   C                     G
Doctor please release me now
                                  D
I can't afford to waste another second - I can't waste it!

B             Em                       B
 Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
                 Em             C
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
G               B                  
I lived my life so desperate...
