Cm            A#
Take a moment if you dare
G#                Cm
Catch yourself a breath of air
 G#              Gm
There's another life out there
     Cm
And you should try it

Dead ends hide on every street
Look before you place your feet
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
And you're inside it

Chorus:
Cm
Every thought you never dared to think
G#
Every mood you always knew would sink
Cm
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest
G#
All the time you took to be your best
Cm
Soon forgotten

The sun must never touch your skin
It could expose the dark within
You're paranoid a-bout the para-noia

And panic hits with-out a sign
You worry about it all the time
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning

    G#
Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin
    Cm
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in
     G#
With everything this way it's better to forget
     Cm                     A#
Than end up in a place with something to regret

Your transatlantic shopping spree
Your health forever guarantees
Or-ganic bio life's a breeze in cosy prisons

But hiding out in the salad bar
Isn't gonna get you far
And bottled wine is vinegar to-morrow

Everything around here makes your pretty head spin
Its piling up high and you're back where you begin
Moments you have tried so hard to forget
Are promising to have been the best ones yet

Chorus

So if you're careful
You won't get hurt
But if you're careful all the time
then what's it worth
