F#m D A
So I'm waiting by a phone
E F#m
for the blessed ring
D A
like a holy grail
E F#m
for a fisher king
D A
time is ticking down
E F#m
like a metronome
D A E D
rhythm for my brain and its ceaseless games
D F#m E
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
D E A F#m D A E
thought my heart beat is a beat that beats so near
F#m D A E F#m
so we had a talk last night about the heavy blow
D A E F#m
that you dealt in fright you're back against the wall
F#m D A E F#m
it was a puzzle piece important to the whole
D A E D
that I may not find to place within that hole
D F#m E
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
D E A
like a puzzle where the pieces lost to me
F#m Bm
so I'm changing who I am
E A
'cause what I am's not good
F#m Bm
and I know you love me now
E A
but I don't see why you should
F#m Bm
and I don't see why you should
E A
no, I don't see why you should
(F#m D A E)
F#m D A
so I drift into the air
E F#m
like a moth to light
D A E F#m
down the boulevard to the coffee shop
D A E F#m
in the land of sorrow in the land of wait
D A E D
I fear is bearing down on this lonely town
D F#m E
I never seem to write them down as good as him
D E A
like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in
Chorus

so I'm changing who I am

'cause what I am's not good
F#m Bm
and I know you love me now
E A
but I don't see why you should
F#m Bm
so I'm changing who I am
E A
'cause what I am's not good
F#m Bm
and I know you love me now
E A
but I don't see why you should
F#m Bm
and I don't see why you should
E A
no, I don't see why you should
