  C#m          F#m
I never really feel a thing
         G#        C#m
I'm just kinda too frozen
             F#m
You were the only one
          G#         C#m
That even kinda came close
       F#m
I just pinch myself
          G#  C#m
No longer comatose
       F#m
I woke up, no luck
A             G#
I woke up, no luck

     F#m       G#           C#m
And when your stitch comes loose
         G#      F#m             G#
I wanna sleep on every piece of fuzz
     C#m                    G# F#m   G#
And stuffing that comes out of you, you
       C#m                    G#
I took too many hits off this memory
F#m             G#
I need to come down

Chorus:
C#m           B              A
An-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nother day goes by
    B    F#m
So hold me tight
 G#      F#m
Hold me tight, or don't
C#m                B                 A
Oh n-n-no, no this isn't how the story ends
    B    F#m
So hold me tight
G#      F#m
Hold me tight, or don't
C#m       F#m
I got too high again
           G#                C#m
Realized I can't not be with you
      F#m
Or be just your friend

I got too high again, realized I can't not be with you
Or be just your friend, I love you to death, but I just can't
I just can't pretend, we were lovers first
Confidants but never friends, were we ever friends?

But when your stitch comes loose, I wanna sleep on
Every piece of fuzz and stuffing that comes out of you
You, I took too many hits off this memory
I need to come down

Chorus

Oh na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na na na na na na na
Hold me tight, or don't

          C#m B A
'Cause I'm past the limits
    F#m
The distance between us
                       C#m
It sharpens me like a knife
 B A
Past the limits
    F#m
The distance between us
   C#m
It sharpens me like a knife

Chorus
