Tonality
Chorus:
BmCm
Hey, I heard it from the state
F#mC#
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
BmCm
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
F#mC#
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
BmCm
Hey, you try to compensate
F#mC#
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
BmCm
You showed me all your letters that I shouldʼve confiscated
F#mC#
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
Verse:
BmCm
Talking to ears that have been deaf
F#m
For as long as I can remember
BmCmF#m
A self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself
BmCmF#m
And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear
Bm
That Iʼve become illiterate, Iʼve become dumb
CmF#m
(Ya hear me? Ya hear me? Ya hear me?)
Pre-Chorus:
BmCm
When I come through, you were dark blue
F#mC#
And I saved you from your darker days
BmCm
Born to take care of you
F#mC#
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
Chorus:
BmCm
Hey, I heard it from the state
F#mC#
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
BmCm
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
F#mC#
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
BmCm
Hey, you try to compensate
F#mC#
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
BmCm
You showed me all your letters that I shouldʼve confiscated
F#mC#
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
Verse:
BmCm
Shot down by a guy I never wanted to kiss
F#m
Not gonna hear the singing of his ringing triumphing
BmCm
And Iʼm chugging along in a train
F#m
And Iʼm heading the wrong way, and Iʼm a train wreck
BmCm
And my heart goes "beat, beat, beat"
F#m
To the music of this sad, same song
BmCm
Itʼs quite depressing, there is no fixing to the problem
F#m
When youʼre talking to an idiot
Pre-Chorus:
BmCm
When I come through, you were dark blue
F#mC#
And I saved you from your darker days
BmCm
Born to take care of you
F#mC#
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
BmCm
Baby, only maybe
F#mC#
Just a dreamer, but I soon found out
BmCm
Heard the train tracks were behind me
F#m
Tried to warn me, but both of my ears went out
Pre-Chorus:
BmCm
When I come through, you were dark blue
F#mC#
And I saved you from your darker days
BmCm
Born to take care of you
F#mC#
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
