A# Dm

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

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

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

Dm A#

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

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

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

            Am

Please tell them you have no plans for me.

I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?

Iʼm sorry
