F#m6              C#7               F#m
Breathing in the dark, lying on its side
F#m6             C#7               F#m
The ruins of the day painted with a scar
F#m6                      C#7
And the more I straighten out, the less
            F#m
it wants to try
F#m6                  C#7                 F#m
The feelings start to rot, one wink at a time, oh

Chorus:
Bm C#m             A       D         C#m     Bm
Forgiving who you are for what you stand to gain
     C#m               A        D     C#m  Bm
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
     C#m             A        D       Bm
When you get out of bed don't end up stranded
  C#                       C#7
Horrified with each stone, on the
stage my little dark age

Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby
The carvings on the face say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again,
all limits of disguise
The humor's not the same, coming from denial

Chorus:
Oh-oh
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If you get out of bed and find me standing
All alone, open-eyed
Burn the page, my little dark age

Chorus:
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away
If I get out of bed, you'll see me standing
All alone, horrified
On the stage, my little dark age

F#m6         C#7
Giddy with delight
                 F#m
Seeing what's to come
F#m6            C#7
The image of the dead
                F#m
Dead ends in my mind

Chorus:
Policemen swear to God, love's seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed, come find us heading
For the bridge, bring a stone
All the rage, my little dark age

I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If you get out of bed and find me standing
All alone, open-eyed
Burn the page, my little dark age

All alone, open-eyed
Burn the page, my little dark age
