Intro:  G  D  Cmaj7  C 
---------------------
     G                     D
You built it up brick by brick
          C               C    
Put your heart into this baseless myth
 G                   D
Nurtured it like a child
      F                          C
And dressed its wounds when it ran wild
---------------------
      G                  D
You stopped to fix your face
         C                   C
Someone else stepped in and took your place
     G                    D
Now everything you once knew
    F                C
Is running circles around you
---------------------
   Bm               Em       C
A car door slamming in your road
    D                           Dsus4  D
It jolts you like a kick inside
   Bm              Em        C
A year old message on your phone
      D                              Dsus4
That catches you when you can’t hide
Chorus:
D                  C      Em      D
I see you in the service station sign
                  Em   D      C
I see you in the supermarket line
                 C    Em    D
I see you silhouetted on a wall    
             Em     D            C                      
But I don't see myself there at all
---------------------
      G                D
This vessel of Balsa wood
        C                 C
Is the fag end tail of amoeba-hood
     G               D
The busying cast confer
     F                       C
And get their taste of the drama
---------------------
     Bm                     Em       C
You stare through mindless daytime shows
     D                             Dsus4  D 
And curse yourself for growing old
      Bm               Em     C
The sterile scent of shaving foam
   D                         Dsus4
Reminds you of another world
Chorus:
D                 C        Em     D
I see you in the roofless sombre sky
                    Em     D       C 
I see you when the lovers stop outside
                 C    Em    D
I see you silhouetted on a wall
             Em    D             C
But I don't see myself there at all
---------------------
                   C       Em       D
I see you in the sweetness of our child
                  Em   D      C
I see you in the supermarket aisle
                     C      Em       D 
I see you when I’m kneeling on the floor
             Em    D       C 
But I can't see myself anymore

Bridge:
 Em         C       G            D         G      C 
Hard times got the upper hand, stole our feeble plans
     Em      C        G             D     G         C
The faces, shot me, spin me round, but I won’t lie down
 Em          C       G            D              G     C
Hard times shake me to the bone, face bruised, bloody nose
 Em              C       G               D      G         C   Em
Shell shocked, crawling on the ground, still I won’t lie down
Em  C  G  D         G        C
            No, I won't lie down
Em  C  G  D         G        C               
            No, I won't lie down
Em  C  G   Dadd4    G         C
                I won't lie down
