      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 
       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 
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
