     F#m            E
You're weak on the surface
   D
You speak when you're nervous
    F#m                         E
And all the wrong words seems right in your head
D
You can't stand the space in your bed

      F#m            E
So you shake in the darkness
   D
You break like an artist
    F#m                      E
And all your big plans are small the next day
D
You cannot wait to throw them away

Bm A E
You perseverate
        Bm A  E
And the truth might be a million miles away

Chorus:
A          E           D
Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
    F#m              E              D
And lose yourself inside your busy head
A           E          D
Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
 F#m         E                 D
All alone inside your busy head

           F#m E D
Your busy head

You sleep in the moment, but dream like a poet
And all your good grace, like faded tattoos
You spend your days in wait for bad news

So you perseverate
And the truth might be a million miles away

Chorus:
Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
And lose yourself inside your busyhead
Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
All alone inside your busyhead

             Bm
Going nowhere fast enough to tell a lie
A
Give yourself an alibi
             E
You've been gone lately
Bm
Stand upon your peace of mind
A
You're bound to fall if you take your time
             E
'Cause we're all waiting
           Bm
And you can step alone into the abyss
A
Find a home on the edge of it
         E
And be defined by its presence
By its size and its message
        Bm
You can move along through the dark
A
And when you wonder where you are
            E
You'll be proud of your weakness
So, busy head, just keep breathing

   A E D
Oh
                           A      E D
Oh, busy head, just keep breathing
Oh, busy head, just


Chorus:
Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
And lose yourself inside your busyhead
Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
All alone inside your busyhead
You're all alone inside your busyhead
You're all alone inside your busyhead
