Intro: 
E B/Eb E B/Eb E B/Eb G#m F# 


verse 1: 
         C#m B   C#m 
From the top down   you're 
       B 
in the center of an 
  C#m        B 
accumulating pressure 
             G#m 
You did your best to 
        F# 
just forget that you 
     C#m    B 
got snuffed out 
C#m 
drowned out by the 
 B             C#m 
static in an attempt 
               B 
to catch the essence 
             G#m 
of something you 
             F#    G#m F# G#m F# 
though you deserved 

      E   B 
All I want is no more 
   E       B 
commercials and with 
A             B 
all they represent 
        A 
what we need 
            F#m 
is a better sense 


verse 2: 
            C#m B C#m 
And I think we 
                B 
should quit the circus 
C#m B           G#m 
     and never speak of 
      F# 
this again When I got 
C#m B          C#m 
home I couldn't 
            B 
construct a sentence 
   C#m 
forgot to print out 
  B 
directions telling 
      G#m 
me me I don't 
          F# 
know the struggle 


verse 3: 
             C#m B 
But that was fun 
what's there to 
         C#m B 
pick you up   one 
        C#m 
of your famous 
     B 
misdirections 
           G#m 
showing me how 
to adjust the 
F# 
tension 


Refrain: 
            G#m  B G#m 
what have I done? 
      C#m 
I was only 
trying to pick 
    G#m B G#m 
you up  
      F# 
I Was only 
only trying to 

           E   B 
spend some time in 
       E    B 
empty spaces Take 
         A 
back the things 
              B 
that we never meant 
           A 
and do whatever we 
        F#m 
haven't yet But you 
              E   B 
were blue and gray 
           E      B 
hands were shaking 
           A 
telling me why you 
          B 
were so upset not 
          A 
trying to patiently 
         F#m 
wait for death

           A 
and do whatever we 
        F#m
