Intro: G 

verse 1 
G 
So now we see 
G                G7 
Comes burying my burnt remains 
G7 
These puddled clouds 
   G6        G 
Oh I I understand now 
G 
But darkness falls likes shattered pieces 
G7 
Dangling shimmering 
                      G6 
Torn and tattered yet crowned 
G6                  G 
Oh I'll not be told No to No More 

Refrain: G 

verse 2 
G 
You must believe to hear me sing these 
G7                                G6 
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love 
G6              G 
Oh it's painful kneading 
G 
Yes I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles 
G    G7                                      G6 
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong 
G6                   G 
Why do they all look like me 


G    Am        C                      G 
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh 
G       F          Em 
Just to prove I'm alive 
Em        Am 
And it's alright 
Am      C                             G 
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light 
      F           Em       C 
Of my treacherous life 

Refrain 
G 

verse 3 
G 
If I had hands I'd hold up high 
   G7                               G6 
My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name 
G6            G 
But I have no strength 
G 
So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn 
G         G7 
There's a ghost in your eye 
G7                                    G6 
There is someone that knows more than I 
                   G 
But I'm quick to deny 

 
G    Am        C                      G 
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh 
G       F          Em 
Just to prove I'm alive 
Em        Am 
And it's alright 
Am      C                             G 
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light 
      F           Em 
Of my treacherous life 
Em   C 
Make Light 

Outro: G
