  C#m     E
Graceless
Amaj7       E         C#m       E
Is there a powder to erase this?
Amaj7     E           C#m       E
Is it dissolvable and tasteless?
Amaj7       E         C#m       E
You can't imagine how I hate this
Amaj7    E
Graceless

      B              C#m    E
I'm trying, but I'm graceless
Amaj7           E             C#m    E
Don't have the sunny side to face this
Amaj7   E          C#m      E
I am invisible and weightless
Amaj7       E        C#m       E
You can't imagine how I hate this
Amaj7   E
Graceless

      B               E
I'm trying, but I've gone
Through the glass again
Amaj7
Just come and find me
E                    Amaj7
God loves everybody, don't remind me
E                       Amaj7
I took the medicine when I went missing
E                             B
Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen

Graceless
I figured out how to be faithless
But it would be a shame to waste this
You can't imagine how I hate this, graceless

I'm trying, but I'm gone, through the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine and I went missing
Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen

Chorus:
E
All of my thoughts of you
Amaj7
Bullets through rock and through
E
Come apart at the seams
Amaj7
Now I know what dying means
E
I am not my rosy self
Amaj7
Left my roses on my shelf
E
Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
B
It's the side effects that save us

Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind, it'll brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

          E                           Amaj7
There's a science to walking through windows
          E                           Amaj7
There's a science to walking through windows
          E                           Amaj7
There's a science to walking through windows
          E                           B
There's a science to walking through windows
without you

Chorus

Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind, it'll brighten the place
Don't let 'em die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace
Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind, it'll brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace
