D
Trampoline I'm your trampoline
                                             G
Oh you jump so hard but I always catch your fall
             D
So now I'll just hide away
You know, I think I will hide away
                                         G
Oh, I run so fast but I always lose them all

Chorus:
A                              Bm
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
A                                 Bm
And try to forget the things that I've done
A                              Bm
I wish I knew how to keep the promises I made you
A
But life I guess it goes on
A
Yeah I know it goes on
A
You see I've learned it goes on
A                             D
But then I'll hang us on the wall
                      A
And I'll crawl in the open side
      Bm            G
And I'm blind to it all
      D
So why don't you
            A                     Bm         G
Crawl in my open side and become blind to it all

Time to pray
You know I think it's time to pray
For the contortion, my abortion
That I somehow shoved away
I think it's right for me
You know, I think it is right for me
When I was young, I was stung
And somehow lost God's faith

Chorus:
I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things I've done
I wish I knew how to keep these promises I made you
But life, I guess it goes on
Yeah, I know it goes on
You see, I've learned it goes on

But then I'll hang us on the wall
And I'll crawl in the open side
And I'm blind to it all
So why don't you
Crawl in my open side and become blind to it all?
To it all, to it all, to it all, to it all
So why don't you?

D
Way back when I must have sinned
I break down profound, beginning, end
Head trip, regrip what doesn't mend
But I'm wishing this amnesia would kick in
