D F#m

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

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

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

F#m D

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

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

Chorus:
But Iʼll tell them,
A    D                A
Why wonʼt you let me go?
F#m             A         D
Do I threaten all your plans?
        E
Iʼm insignificant.

Please tell them you have no plans for me.
  E            A        D    C#m           E
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?

Please tell them you have no plans for me.
