B D#m

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

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

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

D#m B

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

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

But Iʼll tell them,

Why wonʼt you let me go?
