[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ She likes to sleep with the radio on [F] So she can dream of [Bbm] her favorite song
[Bb] The one that no [Eb] one has ever sung [F] since she was small _
[Gm] _ _ [Bb] She'll never know that [Eb] she made it up _ [F] She had a [Bb] soul and we ate it up
_ [Gm] _ Thrown away like [Eb] a paper cup _ [F] Music _ [Dm] _ falls
_ [Bb] _ The only flaw in [Eb] her detailed [Bb] plan [F] Is where she wins back [Bb] the love of a man
[Gm] _ Everyone knows that [Cm] he's never coming [F] back He _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ took her heart and she took [Eb] his name
_ [F] He couldn't [C] stand taking [Bb] all the blame _ He left her only [Cm] with guilt and shame
[F] And then she [Bb] cracked _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ Won't it be [Eb] dull when we [F] hear it ourselves [Bb] Of all these demons [Gm] haunting us
[Cm] To keep us [F] company
In _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ the dream [Eb] I refuse to have [F] She falls asleep in [Bb] her [Gm] lukewarm bed
We're left to deal with [Cm] the aftermath [F] again _ _ _ _ _

profanity [F] can be
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Gm] _ Won't it be [Cm] dull when [F] we hear it ourselves [Bb] Of all [Dm] these demons [Gm] haunting us
To [Cm] keep us [F] company
_ Won't _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Gm] _ it be [Cm] odd to [F] be happy like we [D] Always thought [Gm] we're supposed to feel
But [Cm] never seem [F] to be
Near _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ where I live [N] there's a viaduct _ Where people jump when they're out of luck
_ _ Raining down on the cars and trucks [F] below
_ They _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ put a net there to catch their fall _ Like that'll stop anyone at all
_ What they don't know is when nature calls you go _ _ _ _ _
_ _ They say that Jesus and mental health Are just for those who can help themselves
_ [Gm] But what good is that when you live in hell [Bb] on earth _ _ _ _
_ _ When the very fear that makes you wanna die _ Is just the same as [Gm] what keeps you [Bb] alive
[Gm] It's way more trouble than some _
[Dm] [Bb] suicide is worth _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ Won't it be [Cm] dull when [F] we hear it ourselves [Bb] Of all these [Gm] demons haunting us
[Cm] To keep us [F] company
_ _ Won't _
[D] _ _ [Gm] _ _ it [Cm] be odd to [F] be happy like [D] we Always thought [Gm] we're supposed to feel
[Cm] But never seem [F] to be _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ Hard to admit I [Eb] fought the war on drugs [F] My hands were tied and [Bb] my phone was [Gm] bugged
Another died and [Cm] the world just shrugged it off
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
