F#m                    Bm
Every light is blinding
A                       Bm
Every minute lasts all day
F#m                     Bm
Every thought is fighting
A                         Bm
They're not falling into place

F#m                                  Bm
I'm held down by drawing pins, they pierce the skin
A                               Bm
Lights are on but no one's in, when you talk
F#m
I don't feel like I belong
E          A Bm
Here at all

Chorus:
F#m
Tell me what you did it
What you did it
          Bm     A
What you did it for
                 Bm
Cos I I I can't figure it out
F#m
What you did it
What you did it
          Bm     A
What you did it for
                 E        F#m
Cos I I I can't figure it out

I could use some Magick
C'mon Crowley, let me in

I'm held down by drawing pins
They pierce the skin
I try not to fall asleep
When you talk
I don't think that I belong
Here at all

Chorus

F#m   A    Bm      D
What do I have to do
D#m7-5        D
To be loved, loved by you

Chorus

What do I have to do
To be loved, loved by you
