Dm                   C          G                 Dm
Why do I deserve the science to feel better about you?
Dm                  C
At a loss I lost my cool
G                     Dm
I denied that I found you
Dm                     C
I tried to be a basket case
G                  Dm
I did not surprise you
Dm                          C
I'm trying to find a signal fire
G                         Dm
Let me know when I should move

F                         C
But you, amplified in the silence
                 G               Dm
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Dm               C
Magnified in the science
G            Dm
Anatomically proved
F              G    Dm
That you don't need me

( Dm  C  G  Dm )
( Dm  C  G  Dm )

Dm                  C
Why do I desire the space?
G                    Dm
I was mourning after you
Dm                     C
I was lost and lost my shape
G                         Dm
There was nothing I could do
Dm                    C
I don't want to waste away
G                    Dm
It was all I gave to you
Dm                       C
Take me back and take my place
G                        Dm
I will rise right up for you

F                         C
But you, amplified in the silence
                 G               Dm
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Dm               C
Magnified in the science
G            Dm
Anatomically proved
F              G    Dm
That you don't need me

Dm                       G
All the while you waste away, you're asking
C                                              F    Em  Dm
"Did I really need another one to take me down?"
Dm                                             G
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
C                              F    Em  Dm
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
Dm                         G
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection

( Dm  C  G  Dm )
( Dm  C  G  Dm )

Dm
There was nothing but quiet retractions
C                                                   G
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good
                        Dm
I don't know how it got there"
Dm
That was something your father had burned in me
C
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
G                                               Dm
"You can go anywhere but you are where you came from"
Dm
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
C
There is nothing but darkness and agony
G                                           Dm
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Dm
Let me watch you as close as a memory
C
Let me hold you above all the misery
G                                          Dm
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
