D#m C#    F#    B
I want to drive away
        D#m    C#         F#      B
In the night, headlights call my name

B                 D#m
I, I'll never be, be what you see inside
F#                     B
You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified
B                           D#m
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
F#                          B
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far

Chorus:
F#
   And I'll fall
D#m
   And I'll break
B
   And I'll fake
C#
   All I wanna
F#
   And I'll fall
D#m
 down. And I'll break
B
 down. And I'll fake
C#
 you out. All I wanna.

B
I'm so afraid
D#m          C#
Of what you have to say
F#
Cause I am quiet now
B
And silence gives you space

I'll never be, be what you see inside
You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far

Chorus

D#m
It’s the same game today as it always
C#
is, I don't give these places
fake my name explaining
F#
this, and the wrists of my mind have the bleeding
B
lines that remind me of all the times...
D#m
I have committed
C#
dirty dirty crimes
that are perfectly form-fitted to
F#
what I’ve done and what
I’m doing I’m brewing and losing and
B                                C#
spewing infusing and believe me that’s
what all the kids are doing.
D#m
What kids are doing are killing themselves, they
C#
feel they have
no control of their prisoner’s cell, and if
F#
you’re one of them then you’re one of me, and
B
you would do almost anything just to feel free...
D#m             C#
Am I right? Of course I am,
convince me otherwise would take all night.
  F#
Before you walk away,
there’s one more thing I want to say,
     B                   C#
Our brains are sick but that's okay.

F#
Fake you out
     D#m
I'll fake you out
      B
I'll fake you out
     C#
I'll break you down

F#
   And I'll fall
(I'll fake you out)
D#m
   And I'll break
(I'll fake you out)
B
   And I'll fake
(I'll fake you out)
C#
   All I wanna
(I'll break you down)

F#
Fake you out
     D#m
I'll fake you out
      B
I'll fake you out
     C#
I'll break you down (x2)
All I wanna

F#              D#m
 Yeah, And I'll fall down
           B
And I'll break down
          C#
And I'll fake you out all I wanna - x2

B
I'm so afraid
D#m         C#
Of what you have to say
F#
Cause I am quiet now
B                      C#
And silence gives you space
