[C] _ _ _ [G] _ Step away from the madness, breathe the [Am] cold air deep in my [Em] lungs and submit to the sadness,
commit [Bm] to withdraw from the battle.
[F#] Got a jump ship and hope that I land in the saddle, hand on my [G] heart, I wear my heart
on my [Am] sleeve, but I'm never [Em] really sure of what I hope to achieve, [Bm] and I never felt the
call from the rope of release, tethered to [F#] the cause like dope to a fiend.
So [G] far the road's been open and free, though a couple of [Em] tolls have had a couple [F#] of fees,
a couple of times I've been on a couple of knees, wishing for a couple of hours or even
minutes of peace, head [G] spinning from the turbulence sea, [Am] scanning the [Em] horizon for a little faith
in my breed, [G] placing my feet among the space I make in my sleep, [Em] hoping the path I'm on
is really destined for me.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
Why do we go far?
[Am] Why do we go?
[Em] _
_ When we're just trying to get close [F#] enough? _
_ _ _ _ Tell me why [G] do we go far?
[Am] Why do we go?
[Em] _ When we're just trying to get close enough?
[C] Trying to get close enough?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] I'm weary, I fled, I'm hearing a [Am] ledge, meant to be clear in my [Em] head, but I'm hearing [Bm] the
threads, sirens, side effects, I be in fear [F#] of the meds, stay clear from the medics, my
peers weren't here when I bled, I don't want the jizz of [G] the credit, overbears of [Am] rhetoric,
I'm low, [Em] searching for my tenorist, [B] lost, seeking knowledge with holes in my jean pockets,
don't want a clean office, I [C] know that I'll see losses, but [B] don't want to leave profitless,
I'm [G] feeling hot in this, this place, [Am] where am I?
Here in my [Em] quiet wife, mixed race, we're aligned, just until whenever I get displaced, I can
make [F#] mixtapes of my mistakes, and risk taking, unnicked [G] faiths, stole hope, but I [Am] misplaced
them, it's the key to [Em] my heart, but don't open it, it's vacant, I'm misplaced, and home is
a bit crazy.

_ _ _ [E]
I brought mementos to all my friends [C] foes, never stayed to talk of course I went home,
it's [B] usual they'll view me at my funeral, I'll make that walking dead pose, [G] a recluse,
but I've lived once, I bought a red [E] rose, I've been loved, [Am] only after I divorced my
ex [C] though, I fought my head bro, I sobered when I [Em] forced a pen flow, nearly took a widow
to a comic expo, the [C] town told me if you want it let's go, I promised I'd [B] let go, I said
no, see I wasn't feeling what she said I'll [G] be a modern jazz artist competing with the
[Am] dead, she has [C] my heart but I'm leading with my head so it's the matter in my mind that's
[Em] defeating me, yeah this is the life I purchased, denied my [C] service, like why am I worth it?
A guy died [B] perfect, despite my urges, I create a rift, [G] couldn't say I win, in fact I stay
adrift, and [E] that's the way it is.
