Intro: GDCmaj7C
---------------------
GD
You built it up brick by brick
CC
Put your heart into this baseless myth
GD
Nurtured it like a child
FC
And dressed its wounds when it ran wild
---------------------
GD
You stopped to fix your face
CC
Someone else stepped in and took your place
GD
Now everything you once knew
FC
Is running circles around you
---------------------
BmEmCA car door slamming in your road
DDsus4D
It jolts you like a kick inside
BmEmCA year old message on your phone
DDsus4
That catches you when you can’t hide
Chorus:
DCEmD
I see you in the service station sign
EmDC
I see you in the supermarket line
CEmD
I see you silhouetted on a wall
EmDC
But I don't see myself there at all
---------------------
GD
This vessel of Balsa wood
CC
Is the fag end tail of amoeba-hood
GD
The busying cast confer
FC
And get their taste of the drama
---------------------
BmEmC
You stare through mindless daytime shows
DDsus4D
And curse yourself for growing old
BmEmC
The sterile scent of shaving foam
DDsus4
Reminds you of another world
Chorus:
DCEmD
I see you in the roofless sombre sky
EmDC
I see you when the lovers stop outside
CEmD
I see you silhouetted on a wall
EmDC
But I don't see myself there at all
---------------------
CEmD
I see you in the sweetness of our child
EmDC
I see you in the supermarket aisle
CEmD
I see you when I’m kneeling on the floor
EmDC
But I can't see myself anymore
---------------------

EmCGDGC
Hard times got the upper hand, stole our feeble plans
EmCGDGC
The faces, shot me, spin me round, but I won’t lie down
EmCGDGC
Hard times shake me to the bone, face bruised, bloody nose
EmCGDGCEm
Shell shocked, crawling on the ground, still I won’t lie down
EmCGDGC
No, I won't lie down
EmCGDGC
No, I won't lie down
EmCGDadd4GC
I won't lie down
