C Em

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

Chorus:
But Iʼll tell them,
G    C                G
Why wonʼt you let me go?
Em             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    Bm           D
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
              G
Iʼll tell them!

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

Chorus:
But Iʼll tell them,
G    C                G
Why wonʼt you let me go?
Em             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    Bm           D
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?

Please tell them you have no plans for me.

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