C
Usually, it wouldn't mean shit
    Dm
But you're alright
Am
With eyes like lasers through the mist
         F
Burning souls alive
C
With one shut eye untouched
         Dm
By the brighter light
Am
You could be denser than some
        F
With 20/20 sight

C
You could burn up like kinder flay
                 Dm
Could plug up to razor blades
Am
Or you could just throw me away
             F
Because I'm hollow
C
Fire flint sparks off in the dark
                  Dm
Tear up boys and call it art
Am
Or you can hollow out your heart
So we can be hollow

Chorus:
C
Fill me up and I'll follow
'Cause pride's hard to swallow
Am
Times like these make us hollow
F
Hollow, hollow
C
Fill me up and I'll follow
'Cause pride's hard to swallow
Am
Times like these make us hollow
F             C Am F
Hollow, hollow

Good optics see through my words
On my bakelite
Crawl down and see what they heard
The underground's alive
My mind is getting kinda dumb
Hollow out the sides
Then bring the shooting squad and some
And leave my heart behind

You could burn up like kinder flay
Could plug up to razor blades
Or you could just throw me away
Because I'm hollow
Fire flint sparks off in the dark
Tear up boys and call it art
Or you can hollow out your heart
So we can be hollow

Chorus

C             Dm
Oh, down the mountain runs
           Am
We're the hollow ones forever
C           Dm
Oh, not the underground
       Am              C Am
Or the overproud forever
F            C Am F
Hollow, hollow

Chorus
