Verse  
Em                                 Bm                                 Am 
The sound of television creeping through the halls  
Em                                  Bm                          Am 
Left in the wild like a tree pulled from the dirt  
Em                                  Bm                              Am 
You fill the sky with burning arrows from your heart  
Em                                  Bm                            Am 
Throw your bottles out to sea and watch them float away  


C                                                   Em 
Tell me of the world you’re leaving  
                     Bm                                  C 
While you’re swinging like a wrecking ball  
                                                  Em 
You bury all your love in secrets  
      Bm                        C 
And loneliness in alcohol
