     D#m   C#
Well lately
              G#/C
It seems i've wasted
      B           D#m   C#
every single opportunity
       G#/C      B
To get this right
    D#m  C#/F
And maybe    It's all
  F#             G#m
because the inspiration
B        D#m       C#/F
That's inside of me
         F#    B
Has been denied
     G#m
From all I want
    B     C#
And all I need tonight

   D#m         C#
So come with me
             G#/C
Just take my hand and
          B
I'll make sure to
         D#m       C#
show you everything
            G#/C
We'll trace these
     B   D#m    C#/F
lines Of empathy
            F#
and Self destruction to
 G#m     B    D#m   C#/F
avoid responsibility
          F#       B
I'll bite my tongue
    G#m
For all I want
    B     C#
And all I need

Chorus:
       F#
So I'm holding out
For a piece of
A#
good advice
To get me
B
through this
To help me face
 Bm     F#
another night
We'll set a course
        A#
for the end of time
            B
And maybe then I
             Bm
Will finally get
                 D#m B F# C#
this whole thing right
