[Verse 1]
     F#m             E
You're weak on the surface
   D
You speak when you're nervous
     F#m                         E
And all the wrong words seems right in your head
D                       N.C.
  You can't stand the space in your bed


[Verse 2]
      F#m             E
So you shake in the darkness
   D
You break like an artist
     F#m                      E
And all your big plans are small the next day
D
  You cannot wait to throw them away


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm  A  E
Yo----u perseverate
        Bm  A  E
And the tru--th might be a million miles away


[Chorus]
A           E          D
  Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
     F#m              E                 D
And lose yourself inside your busy head
A           E          D
  Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
 F#m          E                 D
All alone inside your busy head


[Interlude]
            F#m  E  D
Your busy head


[Verse 3]
   F#m            E
You sleep in the moment
   D
But dream like a poet
     F#m                       E
And all your good grace, like faded tattoos
D                          N.C.
  You spend your days in wait for bad news


[Pre-Chorus]
   Bm  A  E
So yo----u perseverate
        Bm  A  E
And the tru--th might be a million miles away


[Chorus]
A           E          D
  Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
     F#m              E                 D
And lose yourself inside your busy head
A           E          D
  Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
 F#m          E                 D
All alone inside your busy head


[Bridge]
             Bm
Going nowhere fast enough to tell a lie
A
  Give yourself an alibi
            E           E
You've been gone lately
Bm
  Stand upon your peace of mind
A
  You're bound to fall if you take your time
             E           E
'Cause we're all waiting
           Bm
And you can step alone into the abyss
A
  Find a home on the edge of it
         E
And be defined by its presence
      E
By its size and its message
       Bm
You can move along through the dark
A
  And when you wonder where you are
          E
You'll be proud of your weakness
       E
So, busy head, just keep breathing


[Break]
   A  E  D
Oh
                           A       E       D
Oh, busy head, just keep breathing

Oh, busy head, just


[Chorus]
A           E          D
  Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
     F#m              E                 D
And lose yourself inside your busy head
A           E          D
  Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
 F#m          E                 D
All alone inside your busy head
        F#m          E                 D
You're all alone inside your busy head
        F#m          E                 D
You're all alone inside your busy head


[Outro]
D     A
  Your busy head
