Am       G    F            E
Break me in, teach us to cheat
        Am            G         F            E
And to lie, and cover up what shouldn't be shared
          Am       G          F       E
And the truth's unwinding, scraping away
       Am              G       F         E
At my mind Please stop asking me to describe

Chorus:
F        C  E
For one moment
   Am         G    F        C
I wish you'd hold your stage
         E
With no feelings at all
F     C  E
Open minded
     Am    G  F      C     E
I'm sure I used to be so free

Self-expressed
Exhausting for all to see and to be
What you want and what you need
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe

Chorus:
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

C        Am
Wash me away
           C/G      F
Clean your body of me
  Fm           C
Erase all the memories
Dm             Am        C/G
They'll only bring us pain
          F   Fm             C/G C
And I've seen all I'll ever need
