           F#m
Where to begin?
                           E
Oh let's pretend we never met
                      D
so I can disappear a moment
               F#m
Been trying to swim
                              E
with both my hands behind my back
                            D
my dear I always feared the ocean
     F#m
And somehow
                     E
this one word in my mouth
                D
that's left unspoken
         F#m
I won't admit my parents split
            E                         D
when I got sick but I refuse to be a burden

Chorus:
D
And I say
A
Is there something keeping me here
for the minute darling?
E
Did you find the key and what
is the meaning of it?
F#m                                  D
Honey sometimes I feel this emptiness howling out
A
Is there something keeping me
here for the minute darling?
E
Did I lose my mind and am
I still looking for it?
F#m
I don't know why I hear this emptiness
D
Howling out, howling out

"You’re not alone" the world is small
And I am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
Love comes and goes
But the big black dog, he trails along
Am I the only one who knows him?
And now
And somehow, I gained 15 pounds, but lost my focus
And I suffocate things slow
Until I'm just the black fly circling my bullshit
Ooh

Chorus:
Is there something keeping me
here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what
is the meaning of it?
Honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Is there something keeping me
here for the minute, darling?
Did you lose my mind and and am
I still looking for it?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling out

F#m              A     Dmaj7
Deep blue Deep Blue 05072
F#m              A     Dmaj7
Deep blue Deep Blue 05072
F#m              A     Dmaj7
Deep blue Deep Blue 05072
F#m              A    Dmaj7
Deep blue Deep Blue 05072

Where to begin?
Oh, let's pretend we never met
So I can disappear a moment
I've been trying to swim with
both my hands behind my back
My dear I always feared the ocean
And, somehow, this one word in
my mouth that's left unspoken
And I said

Chorus:
Is there something keeping me
here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and
what is the meaning of it?
'Cause, honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out

Tell me one thing keeping me
here for the minute, honey
But if I leave you now then
what's out there waiting for me?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Howling
