Intro:  G  Cadd9  (2x) 


  G                 Cadd9     G                  Cadd9 
 I've been most unwilling to see this turmoil of mine 
        G                   Cadd9       G          Cadd9 
 The thought of sitting with this has me paralyzed 
        G              Cadd9       G              Cadd9 
 With this prolong exposure to mirror and averted eyes 
        G                      Cadd9       G              Cadd9 
 I've feigned that I've been waiting such mileage for empathizing 


                    G 
 And now I see the madness in me  
                       Cadd9 
 Is brought out in the presence of you 
                     G 
 And now I know the madness lives on 
                     Cadd9 
 When you're not in the room 
                          G 
 And though I'd love to blame you for all 
                       Cadd9 
 I'd miss these moments of opportune 
                             G                         Cadd9 
 You've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you 
      G                            Cadd9 
 Oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view 
      G                      Cadd9 
 Oh thank you for your most generous triggers 


 G      Cadd9 (2x) 


        G           Cadd9           G               Cadd9 
 It's been all too easy to cross my arms and roll my eyes 
        G                   Cadd9          G          Cadd9 
 The thought of dropping all arms leaves me terrified 


                    G 
 And now I see the madness in me  
                       Cadd9 
 Is brought out in the presence of you 
                     G 
 And now I know the madness lives on 
                     Cadd9 
 When you're not in the room 
                          G 
 And though I'd love to blame you for all 
                       Cadd9 
 I'd miss these moments of opportune 
                             G                         Cadd9 
 You've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you 
      G                            Cadd9 
 Oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view 
      G                      Cadd9 
 Oh thank you for your most generous triggers 


 G      Cadd9  (2x) 


      G                Cadd9      G            Cadd9 
 I'd have to give up knowing and give up being right 
      G          Cadd9      G          Cadd9 
 You inadvertent hero, you angel in disguise 


                    G 
 And now I see the madness in me  
                       Cadd9 
 Is brought out in the presence of you 
                     G

 I'd miss these moments of opportune 
                             G                         Cadd9 
 You've simply brought this madness to light and I should thank you 
      G                            Cadd9 
 Oh thank you, much thanks for this bird's eye view 
      G                      Cadd9 
 Oh thank you for your most generous triggers
