       Gm      D#     A#
So I'm waiting by a phone
          F     Gm
For the blessed ring
       D#       A#
Like a holy grail
       F       Gm
For a fisher king
         D#      A#
Time is ticking down
        F    Gm
Like a metronome
        D#      A#
Rhythm for my brain
          F         D#
And it's ceaseless scares

        C/E                               F
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
           D#              Cm
Though my heart beat is a beat
       F/A     Gm
That beats so near

So we had a talk last night about the heavy blow
That you dealt in fight your back against the wall
It was a puzzle piece important to the whole
That I may not find you placed within that hole

        C/E                             F
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
       D#                Cm     F/A         A#
Like a puzzle where the pieces lost you and me

Chorus:
         A#            Cm
So I'm changing who I am
        F             A#
Cause what I am's not good
       Gm              Cm
And I know you love me now
       F                  A#
But I don't see why you should
       Gm                Cm
And I don't see why you should
      F                  A#
No I don't see why you should

So I drift into the end like a moth to light
Down the Boulevard to a coffee shop
In the land of song, in the land of wait
My beat is bearing down on this lonely town

I never seem to write them down as good as you
Like I some where lost the keys that let me in

So I'm changing who I am
'Cause what I am's not good
And I know you love me now
But I don't see why you should

Chorus
