C#            B
Real life is so hard
C#           B
We hide in the stars
C#                B
That's where our heads are
C#           B
My head and your heart

Chorus:
C#          B      E
This is a blackout
C#           B          E
Don't let it go to waste
C#          B     E
This is a blackout
C#         B       E
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar

Chorus

G#           B                C#
Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
G#           B                 C#
Between the handshake and the fuck

You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars

Chorus

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain
