Em7

Verse:
Cmaj7
My world astir and sickly
Bm7           Em7
Spits out our voices singing,
Cmaj7       D
"Tra la la" on high now
Bm7        Em7
To kingdom come so slightly.
Cmaj7
Herein the void in your place,
Bm7          Em7
I twitch and tweak in allusion
Cmaj7      D
To sit and stare so blankly
Bm7                    Em7
Until all hope is used up

Chorus:
Cmaj7    Bm7            D
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Cmaj7        Bm7         D
Where do you go when I'm around?
Cmaj7       Bm7               D
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
Cmaj7        Bm7               D
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Refrain:
Oh
Cmaj7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7            Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7          D
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7            Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

Verse
Em7          Cmaj7
In Some dark room:
Cmaj7          Bm7
A smoky figure fills me full,
Bm7   Em7              Cmaj7
Makes my head swell in ruin.
   D                      Bm7
My family kneels at their pew,
Bm7             Em7                  Cmaj7
They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"
Cmaj7     Bm7
I feel it rise above me,
Em7
The western landscapes towering,
Cmaj7       D
And from my shell of a body
Bm7         Em7
The flowers blossom for picking.

Chorus:
Cmaj7    Bm7            D
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Cmaj7        Bm7         D
Where do you go when I'm around?
Cmaj7       Bm7               D
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
Cmaj7        Bm7               D
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Refrain:
Oh
Cmaj7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7            Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7          D
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7            Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7            Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Cmaj7          D
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
Bm7            Em7
Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

Bridge:
NC
I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
NC
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
NC
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
NC
I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
NC
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
     Cmaj7
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive.
    Bm7                           Em7
Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid,
Bm7    Cmaj7                          D
Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
      Bm7                       Em7
Where your life, and my life, directions can wrangle.
    Cmaj7
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
    Bm7                   Em7
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall.
Em7 Cmaj7                  D
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
   Bm7                 Em7
To sting alive without actually breathing.
