Am          C
I used to think
  G                     F
About what's real and true
What can not be proven
What can be assumed
Once when I was younger
In the bloom of youth
I received an honest answer
When a lie would do

Chorus:
     F                  G
And now all I do is sit in my darkened room
          Am                         C
and on occasion break my silence to howl at the moon
    F                     G
To curse every nerve and neuron in my brain
            Am                            F
that won't stop the pain I'm feeling and let
me stop thinking.

I used to think
Galileo would agree
That the world was round
And you'd come round to me
But I have looked for you
And you're nowhere in sight
The world must be flat
The Babylonians were right

Chorus

I used to think
Consider gravity
If I placed you on a pedestal
You'd slip and fall for me
But you floated on the air
Far away at light speed
I guess some objects do defy
The laws that we conceive

Chorus

                 Am C G F
Stop thinking of you.
Stop thinking of you.
Stop thinking of you.

I used to think
It took all my time
Analyzing you
Your mind on my mind
Your name my mantra
Repeated on my lips
That once tried to kiss you
A memory unrepressed

Chorus

Stop thinking of you - x14
