Verse 1:
[Gbm6]Breathing in the d[Db7]dark, lying on its [Gbm]side
[Gbm6]The ruins of the [Db7]day painted with a[Gbm]a scar
[Gbm6]And the more I straighten [Db7]out, the less it wants to[Gbm]to try
[Gbm6]The feelings start to [Db7]rot, one wink at a t[Gbm]time, oh
Chorus 1:
[Bm] For[Dbm]giving who you a[A]re for w[D]hat you st[Dbm]and to g[Bm]ain
Just [Dbm]know that if you h[A]hide, it [D]doesn'[Dbm]doesn't go [Bm]away

Ho[Db]Horrified with each stone, [Db7]on the stage my little dark age
Verse 2:
[Gbm6]Picking through the ca[Db7]cards, knowing what's [Gbm]nearby
[Gbm6]The carvings on the f[Db7]face say they find it[Gbm]it hard
[Gbm6]And the engine's failed ag[Db7]again, all limits of d[Gbm]disguise
[Gbm6]The humor's not the s[Db7]same coming from de[Gbm]denial, oh
Chorus 2:

I k[Dbm]now that if you hi[A]de, it d[D]oesn't[Dbm] go a[Bm]way

A[Db]All alone, open-eyed, b[Db7]burn the page my little dark age
Chorus 3:
[Bm] I g[Dbm]grieve in ste[A]stereo, the [D]ste[Dbm]reo sounds st[Bm]range
You k[Dbm]now that if it h[A]ides, it do[D]esn't[Dbm] go a[Bm]way
If [Dbm]I get out of b[A]ed You'll s[D]ee me st[Bm]anding
al[Db]all alone, Horrified, O[Db7]On the stage My little dark age
Bridge:
[Gbm6]Giddy with de[Db7]delight
Seeing what's to c[Gbm]come
[Gbm6]The image of the[Db7]the dead
Dead ends in my [Gbm]mind
Chorus 4:
[Bm] Pol[Dbm]icemen swear to g[A]od love's se[D]eping [Dbm]from the [Bm]guns
I k[Dbm]know my friends and [A]I would pro[D]probably [Dbm]turn and [Bm]run
If yo[Dbm]u get out of b[A]ed, come f[D]ind us h[Bm]eading
Fo[Db]For the Bridge, bring a stone, a[Db7]all the rage my little dark age
Chorus 3:
[Bm] I g[Dbm]rieve in st[A]ereo, th[D]e stereo s[Dbm]ounds st[Bm]range
I k[Dbm]now that if you hi[A]de, it d[D]oesn't[Dbm] go a[Bm]way
If y[Dbm]ou get out of be[A]d and fi[D]nd me [Bm]standing
A[Db]All alone, open-eyed, b[Db7]burn the page my little dark age
