Intro
=====
Verse 1
=======
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Take a moment if you dare
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Catch yourself a breath of air
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch
There's another life out there
ch]Bm[/ch
And you should try it
Verse 2
=======
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Dead ends hide on every street
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Look before you place your feet
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
ch]Bm[/ch
And you're inside it
Refrain 1
=========
ch]Bm[/ch
Every thought you never dared to think
ch]G[/ch
Every mood you always knew would sink
ch]Bm[/ch
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest
ch]G[/ch
All the time you took to be your best
ch]Bm[/ch
Soon forgotten
Verse 3
=======
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
The sun must never touch your skin
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
It could expose the dark within
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
You're paranoid a-bout the para-noia
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And panic hits with-out a sign
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
You worry about it all the time
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning
Refrain 2
=========
ch]G[/ch
Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin
ch]Bm[/ch
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in
ch]G[/ch
With everything this way it's better to forget
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Than end up in a place with something to regret
Verse 4
=======
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Your transatlantic shopping spree
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Your health forever guarantees
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Or-ganic bio life's a breeze in cosy prisons
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But hiding out in the salad bar
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Isn't gonna get you far
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And bottled wine is vinegar to-morrow
Refrain 3
=========
ch]G[/ch
Everything around here makes your pretty head spin
ch]Bm[/ch
Its piling up high and you're back where you begin
ch]G[/ch
Moments you have tried so hard to forget
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Are promising to have been the best ones yet
Refrain 4
=========
ch]Bm[/ch
Every time you shut your eyes it appears
ch]G[/ch
Every time you trace your steps back here
ch]Bm[/ch
None of your convictions have the same old ring
ch]G[/ch
No doubt you found a place for everything
ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]E[/ch
In cosy prisons
Verse 5
=======
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
So if you're careful
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
You won't get hurt
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch
But if you're careful all the time
ch]Bm[/ch
then what's it worth
