Tom: Em
G C
There's a song in my head
Am D
Oh, a line that never stops playing
G C
I'm not sure how it ends
Am D
I can't remember when I heard what you were saying
[Instrumental]
G C Am D
[Verse]
G C
I'll make the best out of the worst
Am D G
I'll make up half the words and wear a t-shirt of a band I've never heard
G C Am D
Because it hurts to be on the outside looking in
[Pre-chorus]
A Adim7
Well, I do my best to listen
D A
But I'm uncomfortable with too much silence
A Adim7
From the passenger seat you said "what does that mean?"
D A D
I said "I'm learning to live with the violence, violence"
A B
But I'm not the kind that
[Chorus]
D A
Wants to be lost
F#m E
I don't want to be forgotten
D A
I don't want to pretend
F#m E
That it's alright
D A
I want to see these walls
F#m E
Crumble and dissolve around
[Interlude]
G C Am D
Me
[Verse]
G C
I got my golden diploma wearing a square crown
Am D G
The Class of '14 wore their capes like a reverend's gown
G C
All that education won't help us now
Am D
Attending funerals and watching friends break their vows
[Pre-chorus]
A Adim7
There's not much that I can protect
D A
So I keep my good humor alive
A Adim7
Nothing disturbs your intellect
D A
Like the feeling of something you can't deny
D A B
Justified
[Chorus]
D A
I don't want to be lost
F#m E
I don't want to be forgotten
D A
I don't want to pretend
F#m E
That it's alright
D A
I want to see these walls
F#m E
Crumble and dissolve around
[Interlude]
G C Am D
Me
G C Am D
[Verse]
G C
Saturday morning, 11 a.m.
Am D
Heard mom and dad talking money again
G C
Fit a seven-person family in a five-seater van
Am D
I guess all you can do is the best that you can
G C
Dad pushed it all down like the Gibson in his hand
Am D
To finish that song that never had a name
G C
I can still hear that song
A A
In my head
[Bridge]
A
Information, education, given in love
A
Questions, digest like sugar in my blood
A
Holding together what's meant to fall apart
A B
Justify the reason for the way things are
[Chorus]
D A
I don't want to be lost
F#m E
I don't want to be forgotten
D A
I've got reason to believe
F#m E
That I just might
D A
Watch this city's walls
F#m E
Crumble and dissolve around
[Outro]
E Bm D
Me
E Bm D
E Bm D
E Bm D
E Bm D
E Bm D
E Bm D
I'm not afraid, not afraid to lose
E Bm D
It's a voice that I can't refuse
E Bm D E
Maybe I don't have the right to choose what calls my name
E Bm D
E Bm D
E Bm Db5
