Intro:EmDAEm (x2)
Verse EmDAEm
Why do I deserve the science to feel better about you?
EmD
At a loss I lost my cool
AEm
I denied that I found you
EmD
I tried to be a basket case
AEm
I did not surprise you
EmD
I'm trying to find a signal fire
AEm
Let me know when I should move
GD
But you, amplified in the silence
AEm
Justified in the way you make me bruise
EmD
Magnified in the science
AEm
Anatomically proved
GAEm
That you don't need me
EmDAEm (x2)
VerseEmD
Why do I desire the space?
AEm
I was mourning after you
EmD
I was lost and lost my shape
AEm
There was nothing I could do
EmD
I don't want to waste away
AEm
It was all I gave to you
EmD
Take me back and take my place
AEm
I will rise right up for you
GD
But you, amplified in the silence
AEm
Justified in the way you make me bruise
EmD
Magnified in the science
AEm
Anatomically proved
GAEm
That you don't need me
Bridge EmA
All the while you waste away, you're asking
DGFmEm
'Did I really need another one to take me down?'
EmA
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
DGFmEm
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
EmA
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
EmDAEm (x2)
OutroEm
There was nothing but quiet retractions
DA
And families pleading, 'Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good,
Em
I don't know how it got there'
Em
That was something your father had burned in me
D
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
AEm
'You can go anywhere but you are where you came from'
Em
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
D
There is nothing but darkness and agony
AEm
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Em
Let me watch you as close as a memory
D
Let me hold you above all the misery
AEm
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
