Bm
Am I the deer?
    A
Am I the headlights?
  F#m7                    G
I know that I can't slow down
Bm                   A
Everything fractures in the light
       F#m7                 G
And I stand by watching it burn

      A                     Bm
And I used to laugh at the broken glass
G                            A
I should probably paper over all the cracks
         A               Bm
Took a photograph of the aftermath
G                                  A
I should probably look less fondly on the past

Chorus:
 D               Bm
Silent screaming at the ceiling
 A             G
Wondering when I lost heart
     D                   Bm
And time's been stealing all my dreams
    A            G
And I no longer look the part

      A                     Bm
And I used to laugh at the broken glass
G                            A
I should probably paper over all the cracks
         A               Bm
Took a photograph of the aftermath
G                                  A
I should probably look less fondly on the past

Am I the butcher?
Am I the knife?
If I don't know what all this is for?
I used to read myself to death
But I don't see the point anymore

Chorus

And you used to laugh at the broken glass
I should probably paper over all the cracks
Took a photograph of the aftermath
I should probably look less fondly on the past
On the past

Am I the deer?
Am I the headlights?
I know that I can't slow down
