C#m           F#m
Say, can you hear
E           A
Is there a meaning to your grief?
C#m             F#m
Where there is pain
     E
You see grace
C#m        F#m
As if sacrifice
E           A
Was meaningful end in itself
C#m            F#m
Your trial and error
   E
is error and error

Chorus:
D                       F#m    A
Staying at the end of a hallway
D                          F#m     A
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
D                          F#m    A
Narrow vision, you're the scapegoat
D                           A          E    C#m
You try to fix things that have never been broken

You’re self-absorbed
Raving about your cryptic ways
Aren’t willing to change
Old grudges
Hoping for your turn
All the basement stories you heard
Waiting for the world
To bend around you

Chorus

F#m              A
Waiting for the world
          D
To bend around you
F#m              A
Waiting for the world to bend
  D
around you
F#m              A
Waiting for the world to bend
  D
around
 A
you

Chorus:
Staying at the end of a hallway
(Waiting for the world to bend around you)
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you’re the scapegoat
Try to fix things that have never been broken
