Verse
Dm Bb
I lost my head going for a crown
F A
And it's quite a funny story but I'll never write it down

They switched my blood out with ink

Then wrote a book inside me, thus forcing me to read

Line by line, rib by rib

Improper punctuation is puncturing my skin

And yeah it hurts, but not too much
F A
Cuz I've got an ugly cover but who are you to judge?

This open book, an open book

Another wasted tree

An open book, an open book
F A Dm
With dust to cover me

I'm just an open book that no one wants to read
Verse
Dm Bb
I've got these hands that I don't want
F A
And they shake with every letter as I scribble down my thoughts
Dm Bb
With sloppy words and sloppy form
F A
They end up on crumpled paper I throw idly on the floor
Dm Bb
But every page is yours to write
F A
We're all just pointless stories connected at the spine

And by ourselves we don't make sense

But when you put us all together, you start to comprehend

This open book, an open book
Bb A Dm
Another wasted tree

An open book, an open book

This life, it tears us to shreds

Thrown on a pile to be burned with all the rest

Just note the raindrop on a page

We use our music to distort the words we say

Cuz I think you'll like me this way
Bb C
An open book, an open book

Another wasted tree

An open book, an open book
F A Dm
With dirt to cover me

I'm just another book that you don't want

Another wasted tree

An open book, an open book

With dust to cover me
