C# Fm

Verse:
C#
I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handy,
C#
To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing,
C#
I Go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling,
C#
Then I feel my soul start leaving, like an old manʼs hair receding,
C#
Iʼm pleading please, oh please on my knees repeatedly asking,
C#
Why itʼs got to be like this, is this living free,
C#
I donʼt want to be the one, be the one
C#
Who has the sonʼs blood on my hands,
C#
Iʼll tell the moon, take this weapon forged in darkness,
C#
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon.

Pre-Chorus:
G#          Cm                A#m
Iʼll stay awake, ʼcause the darkʼs
                G#    G# Cm Fm A#m D#
Not taking prisoners tonight.
G#
Why Am I not scared in the morning,
G#
I donʼt hear those voices calling,
Fm
I must have kicked them out,
A#m
I must have kicked them out,
G#
I swear I heard demons yelling,
G#
Those crazy words they were spelling,
Fm
They told me I was gone,
A#m
They told me I was gone.

Chorus:
But Iʼll tell them,
G#    C#                G#
Why wonʼt you let me go?
Fm             G#         C#
Do I threaten all your plans?
        D#
Iʼm insignificant.
                  G#   C#                G#
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
  D#            G#        C#    Cm           D#
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
              G#
Iʼll tell them!

Fm C#

Verse:
C#
On the eve of a day thatʼs forgotten and fake,
C#
As the trees they await and clouds anticipate,
C#
The start of a day when we put on our face,
C#
A mask that portrays that we donʼt need grace,
C#
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us,
C#
But we open our eyes ʼcause weʼre told that we must,
C#
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead,
C#
Desperately yelling thereʼs something we need,
C#
Iʼm not free, I asked forgiveness three times,
C#
Same amount that I denied, I three-time mvpʼed this crime,
C#
Iʼm afraid to tell you who I adore,
C#
Wonʼt tell you what Iʼm singing towards,
C#
Metaphorically Iʼm a whore, and thatʼs denial number four.

Pre-Chorus:
G#          Cm                A#m
Iʼll stay awake, ʼcause the darkʼs
               G#    G# Cm Fm A#m D#
Not taking prisoners tonight.
G#
Why Am I not scared in the morning,
G#
I donʼt hear those voices calling,
Fm
I must have kicked them out,
A#m
I must have kicked them out,
G#
I swear I heard demons yelling,
G#
Those crazy words they were spelling,
Fm
They told me I was gone,
A#m
They told me I was gone.

Chorus:
But Iʼll tell them,
G#    C#                G#
Why wonʼt you let me go?
Fm             G#         C#
Do I threaten all your plans?
        D#
Iʼm insignificant.
                  G#   C#                G#
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
  D#            G#        C#    Cm           D#
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
