G#
Hey, you caught me in a coma
G#m
And I don't think I wanna
F#
Ever come back to this
F#m
World again
E
Kinda like it in a coma
Em
'Cause no one's ever gonna
G            D
Oh, make me come back to this
F#      C#
World again

C#m
Now I feel as if I'm floating away
         B
I can't feel the pressure and I like it this way
        Bm
But my body's calling, my body's calling
D          A
Won't you come back to this
C#     G#
World again

G#m
Suspended deep in a sea of black
           F#
I got the light at the end, I got the bones on the mast
      F#m
Well, I've gone sailing, I've gone sailing
A#m              F
I could leave so easily
A#m             B  C   C#
My friends are calling back to me, I said yeah,
G#                     D#
They're leaving it all up to me when
F#                C#
All I needed was clarity
C  B A#   B   A#  B    A#  B    A#  B    A# B  A# B
And   someone to tell me what the fuck is  going on

E
Slippin' farther and farther away
        B
It's a miracle how long we can stay
     A#
In a world our minds created,
in a world that's full of shit!

 C#           G#
Please understand me
    A#m
I'm climbin' through the wreckage of all my twisted dreams
           F
And this cheap investigation just can't stifle all my screams
         F#              C#
And I'm waiting at the crossroads
             D#
Waiting for you, waiting for you
           G#
Where are you

G#
No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one's gonna mess with my head no more
I can't understand what all the fighting's for
But it's so nice here down off the shore
I wish you could see this cause there's nothing to see
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me
Not like the world where I used to live
I never really wanted to live... ahh

G#
You live your life like it's a coma
G#m
Won't you tell me why we'd wanna
F#
With all the reasons you give
    F#m
It's kinda hard to believe

E                                       B                             C
But who am I to tell you that I've seen any reason why you should stay
C#
Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway
        A#m                     C#
I got a one way ticket on your last chance ride
      G#                     D#m
Got a one way ticket to your suicide
      F#                          C#          B
Got a one way ticket and there's no way out alive

F#  F     D                                F#
An' all this crass communication that has left you in the cold
      C#                             G#
Isn't much for consolation when you feel so weak and old
        B                               F#
But if home is where the heart is then there's stories to be told
E         D#    E   D#  E  D#    E  D#    E   D#   E   D#    E
No, you don't need a doctor, no one else can heal your soul

F#        G#                           B
Got your mind in submission, got your life on the line
      F#                             C#
But nobody pulled the trigger, they just stepped aside
            E                          B            A#        A
They'll be down by the water while you watch 'em wavin' goodbye

           C#                                  E
They'll be callin' in the morning, they'll be hanging on the phone
            B                             F#
They'll be waitin' for an answer but you know nobody's home
              A                          E                        D
And when the bells stopped ringing it was nobody's fault but your own

E          F#                                A
There were always ample warnings, there were always subtle signs
         E                                  B
And you would have seen them coming but we gave you too much time
              D                                       A
And when you said that no one's listening why'd your best friend drop a dime
              G
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting for a way to spend our time

            B                          D
And it's so easy to be social, it's so easy to be cool
           A                           E
Yeah, it's easy to get hungry when you ain't got shit to lose
       G                          D
And I wish that I could help you with what you hope to find
    C
But I'm still out here waiting, watching reruns of my life
  C
When you reach the point of breaking know it's gonna take some time
    C                                                      D           E
To heal those broken memories that another man would need just to survive
