Blank Tapes

D#
You used to come alive
       G5                      F5
In the darkness, you held a light
       D#
In the basement, you held them tight
          G5                        F5
You would watch them night after night
              D#
You take them out and you dust them off
            G5                        F5
Are you the star? Are you meant to watch?
             D#
Are they the faces you used to know?
        G5                F5
Are we okay? Are you all alone? (Are you okay?)

D# G5 F5

D#
They used to hold you up
G5              F5
Float over everyone
          D#
You had a warm bed you never saw
       G5                      F5
Are we okay? Will you sleep it off? (Are you okay?)


[Chorus]
G5            A#           F5
And now we're wandering in blank space
       G5          A#        F5
But we can't shake ourselves awake (And now it feels okay)
G5             A#             F5
We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
       G5        A#   F5                       G5
And we tape over everything (And now it feels okay)


[Verse 2]
D#
Take back your bitter words
         G5                   F5
You're a ghost now, you never learn
            D#
Are you the hands of a ticking clock?
       G5                    F5
Are we okay when the ticking stops? (Are you okay?)

D# G5 F5


[Chorus]
G5            A#           F5
And now we're wandering in blank space
       G5          A#        F5
But we can't shake ourselves awake (And now it feels okay)
G5             A#             F5
We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
       G5        A#   F5
And we tape over everything (And now it feels okay)
G5            A#           F5
And now we're wandering in blank space
       G5          A#        F5
But we can't shake ourselves awake (And now it feels okay)
G5             A#             F5
We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
       G5        A#   F5
And we tape over everything (And now it feels okay)

[Chorus]
G5            A#           F5
And now we're wandering in blank space

But we can't shake ourselves awake (And now it feels okay)

But we can't shake ourselves awake (And now it feels okay)
G5             A#             F5
We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
       G5        A#   F5
And we tape over everything (And now it feels okay)

        And now it feels okay
G5 A# F5
        And now it feels okay
G5 A# F5
        And now it feels okay
