Intro: G C Em  

  G              C           Em 
I watch these projections of us 
       G            C             Em 
You're magnetic and I cannot keep up 
      C                        G 
And I feel as you move in real close 
      C                   G 
And I feel as your head arose 
         F 
You're a figment 
           C 
I believed it 

G C Em :|| 

  G                C      Em 
I depart, your dog died today 
        G                                 C     Em 
And you drive all the way here to tell me i'm okay 
      G                 C       Em 
And I left and I didn't say goodbye 
      G                           C        Em 
And I ran all the way home in the gray moonlight 
     C                            G 
It's dark now but we made it that way 
              C                                 G 
With what we drink and how we think and what we say 
           F 
We degrade ourselves 
           C 
And then expect help 

G C Em :|| 

     G                       C        Em 
It's morning, we're still in the same place 
         G                      C      Em 
We are diluted, we are the only ones awake 
        G                      C     Em 
And you hold me like you do it everyday 
          G                           C     Em 
I chase a graceful way to erase or to run away 
    C                             G 
We diverge and I collapse into my bed 
            C                        G 
And you are shoved awkwardly into my head 
              F 
Wage sleep to sleep in 
         C 
American weekend 

G C Em
