Chorus:
            D#                A#
I'm just as fucked up as they say
Cm               D#
I can't fake the daytime
         A#             F             D#
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
     D#                   A#
Got false lights for the sun
        Cm         D#
It's an artificial nocturne
        A#            F                 D#
It's an outsider's escape for a broken heart

Cm                 D#  Gm
We hide out in the back
      Cm                      D#
Like shadows in a stranger's dream
Gm                             Cm D#
Hiding out in the back together
Gm                             Cm D#
Hiding out in the back forever

  Gm
I make
              D#
All that I believe
     D
In dreams
   Gm
So real
Gm                        D#
Babe, I have to take the con
 D                  Gm
Feet don't fail me now

I make all that I believe
I set myself free
So take all the time you need
And let yourself be

Chorus:
         G
I'm as fucked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
           Gsus4                        G
I found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
An outsider's escape for a broken heart

I'm as far gone as they say
I can't fake the daytime
I found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
An outsider's escape for a broken heart
