Verse 1
C 
Oh, this is what I've become 
                      Am 
I am the bricklayer's son 
F                 C 
Born at the wrong time 
 
C 
Oh, the weight, it leads me astray 
                        Am 
But I will not stand in your way 
             F        C 
If you don't stand in mine 
 
   C 
My mind, it moved like mercury 
                       Am 
Through the thin plasticine 
        F             C 
Of your heart's circuitry 
 
   C 
Oh well, at least it did until 
                         Am 
A whole damn mountain of pills 
F      C 
Buried me 
 
Chorus
      G          C        F 
But I won't come back you see 
      G          C       F 
Don't take it so personally 
          G        C       F   C 
It's just when you look at me 
         C      G/B    C    F 
I see it bright as the sun, oh 
   C        G      C 
My failures all at once 
 
Verse 2
   C 
So now, now I live with a girl 
                   Am 
At the edge of the world 
        F          C 
She's a bricklayer too 
 
C 
Oh, I loved her right from the start 
                       Am 
When she ripped out my heart 
    F             C 
She reminds me of you 
 
Chorus
      G          C        F 
But I won't come back you see 
      G          C       F 
Don't take it so personally 
          G        C       F   C 
It's just when you look at me 
         C      G/B    C    F 
I see it bright as the sun, oh 
   C        G      C 
My failures all at once

Verse 3
C 
Oh, this is what I've become 
                      Am 
I am the bricklayer's son 
            F          C 
But I'm not wasting my time 
 
C 
Oh, the weight, it leads me astray 
                        Am 
But I will not stand in your way 
             F        C 
If you don't stand in mine
