F#m          C#m    D6           E6
You are our secret, it's worth keeping
A            C#m       F#m      C#m
And now I'm keeping my mouth shut
        D6      E6        A             C#m     F#m
On the weekends, I won't hang out with anybody else
    C#m     D6      E6
The pavement always baking
A          C#m
What's it want from me
F#m    C#m          D6                E6      A
And I keep falling backwards looking for relief
C#m        Bm
Want to be free

          Bm
I've been counting
all the minutes and
the days have been counting me

Chorus:
F#m C#m D6          E6           A   C#m
        I want to live my life again
          F#m C#m D6
But you won't
           E6              A    C#m
I'll never understand the winds
         F#m C#m D6
But you do
          E6          A   C#m
I didn't know I was afraid
         F#m C#m D6
But you did
          E6      A    C#m
I want to do it again

Well, I've been sleeping
Waiting for something
But to feel nothing
At all, and avoid the call
Sometimes I'm reckless
Sometimes misdirected
And sometimes when I'm tested
I tend to do nothing at all

When I'm alone
There's a ghost that keeps talking
And I know there's gotta be more
For sure

Chorus

C#m        D                       E
I've been numb in my thoughts for hours
F#m         A         C#m            D
I know you wanted to save me from myself
            E                     F#m
We've been wilting and young for seeds
    A          C#m
And I can't compete
   D                      E
Until I'm strung to the field
What's real

Chorus

D6  E6  F#m            A   C#m
Do you want to live forever
D6  E6  F#m            A   C#m
Do you want to live forever
D6 E6 F#m A   C#m
Uh,  I   would
