[Intro]
Eb6 Ab/Eb Fsus2 C/E

[Verse 1]
Eb6              Ab/Eb
 I waited through shame
        Fsus2 C/E
 for this
   Eb6              Ab/Eb       Fsus2
 I waited through shame for this
          C/E
 Are you there?
      Eb6
 Everyday I see
   Ab/Eb             Fsus2
 if chance was calling
          C/E
 Are you there?

[Pre-Chorus]
         Eb6       Ab/Eb
 I got a numb skull
          Fsus4     C/E C7
 I got a green heart

[Chorus]
Eb6               Ab/Eb       Fsus2
 Something changed, well I've got in
C/E                             C7 C
 We all suffer the same things
Eb6               Ab/Eb       Fsus2
 We're in the sun, like nothing
                          C/E C7 C
 All waging the good fight
Eb6               Ab/Eb
 Something changed, now
                 Fsus2        C/E C7 C
 I'm stuck here, so defensive

 they'd lay for me

[Verse 2]
Eb6                 Ab/Eb       Fsus2
 I don't like these open endings
          C/E
 Are you there?
      Eb6          Ab/Eb
 Well I forgive you but
              Fsus2
 there's no pretendings
          C/E  C Csus4
 Are you there?

         Eb6       Ab/Eb
 I got a numb skull
          Fsus4     C/E C7
 I got a green heart

[Chorus]
Eb6               Ab/Eb       Fsus2
 Something changed, and I've got in
C/E                 C7 C
 I wanna speak fast
Eb6        Ab/Eb              Fsus2
 As we know, without substance
 It's more powerful
         C/E           C7 C
 than they can supply
Eb6        Ab/Eb
 Every day, we're all
            Fsus2        C/E
 stuck here, so effective

 I forgive you but

 no sense in running

 For the sake of the old pad
Eb6                   Ab/Eb  Fsus2
 No parade, nobody's coming
                         C       C7 C
 We're all part of the same pack

[Instrumental]

 And I wanna see

 they'd lay for me
