Intro: C#--Bbm--G#--F#--


Verse 1:
         C#
You were so young
and I guess i'm old
     F#
Open your eyes
i'll keep mine closed
     C#
I prefer standing
and you take your seat
       F#
i'll be wide awake
and you'll fall asleep


Chorus 1:   
                Bbm G#/C C# G#
And you'll fall down 
  F#
A hole
           Bbm      G#/C
That's the one place 
C# G#      F#
   we both know
            Bbm      G#/C
you take me with you if you 
C#          G#       F#
could but i wouldn't go
        C#/F
I guess sometimes we both loose
    F#
our minds to find a better road


Interlude: C#--Bbm--G#--F#--


Verse 2: 
         C#
I can be pensive
you can be so sure
              F#
you'll be the poison
you'll be the cure
                 C#
I'm alone on the journey
I'm alive none the less
             F#
and when you do your very worst
mmmmm it feels the best


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Interlude: Bbm--F#--C#--G#/C--Bbm--B--G#--

                Bbm G#/C C# G#
And you'll fall down 
  F#
A hole

That's the one place 
C# G#      F#
   we both know
            Bbm      G#/C   C#
you take me with you if you could
           Bb/D(hold)
but if you could i'd lose everything

Ebm---


Verse 3:
Ebm                  Bb
   Can't you see the faces melting 
       C#
as the sun rains from their eyes
Ebm          Bb
   go on and keep your head with 
    C#                     Ebm
the hearts that you left behind
            C#/F
look at yourself look in the 
F#
mirror don't you see a lie?
         Ebm
that you tell yourself 
again a thousand times
        Ebm
and the truth that makes us 
laugh will make you cry
          G#
You wanna die? No?


Chorus 3:
                Bbm G#/C C# G#
And you'll fall down 
  F#
A hole
           C#       G#/C
That's the one place 
Bbm G#      F#
    we both know
            C#       G#/C
you take me with you if you 
Bbm         G#       F#
could but i wouldn't go
        C#/F
I guess sometimes we both loose
    F#
our minds to find a better road
