Movements - Deadly Dull Chords

[Intro]
Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm A
 
 
[Verse 1]
This is the story
     Bm         G
of a man that I know
  Bm                  G
A man with a heart of gold
      Bm            G
But a body becoming weak
      Bm                A
And a mind that let him go
 
 
[Verse 2]
This is the story of
  Bm          G
a man and his wife
            Bm
And how she died of
            G
that same disease
        Bm
How he stayed with
               G
her after her spirit
     Bm
left But he won't
  A
remember her death and
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Bm              G
  It's a deadly dull
       F#m
Like a sword stuck
                Bm
in its sheath A mind
               G
once sharp and full
    F#m
Now clouded and diseased
 
 
[Chorus 2]
G                       Bm
  What's it like to be erased
      A
every time you fall asleep?
G                       F#m
  Waking up as a clean slate
          Bm
without a sense of reality?
G
  And will I end up the same
Bm              A
way when I grow old and
        G
turn to grey? As time leaves
             F#m
me behind to fade away away
 
 
[Post Chorus]
Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm A
 
 
[Verse 3]
This is the story
     Bm         G
of a man that I know
            Bm
He knows my face
                    G
but he doesn't know me
            Bm
Pretends he does every
        G
time we meet And puts
    Bm             A
his questions on repeat
 
 
[Verse 4]
Like Are you staying out
   G
of trouble? What's the plan?
              F#m
Can we go see G-Ma down
the street? When I saw her
G
last she didn't say much
                          F#m
of anything But if I were there
think how much better it would be"
 
 
[Verse 5]
G
  They break the news
 
a few times a week
F#m
  And every time it's
 
followed by the same thing
G
  He sits outside and keeps
                 F#m
quiet for a while  And
 
forgets and goes to sleep
 
 
[Bridge]
            G     F#m
Life with a heavy soul
Will that be me eventually?
           G      F#m
Death by a deadly dull
Will that be me?
 
 
[Chorus 3]
Bm              G
  It's a deadly dull
       F#m
Like a sword stuck
                Bm
in its sheath A mind
               G
once sharp and full
    F#m
Now clouded and diseased
 
 
[Chorus 4]
G                       Bm
  What's it like to be erased
      A
every time you fall asleep?
G                       F#m
  Waking up as a clean slate
          Bm
without a sense of reality?
G
  And will I end up the same
Bm              A
way when I grow old and
        G
turn to grey? As time leaves
             F#m
me behind to fade away away
