Addict With A Pen by Twenty One Pilots
Addict With A Pen
Intro: G D/F# Em C
G D/F#
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
Em C G
I know I haven't been the best of sons
(G) D/F#
Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
Em C
And I haven't found a drop...
G D/F#
Of life.
(D/F#) Em C
I haven't found a drop...Of you
(C) G D/F#
I haven't found a drop...
Em C
I haven't found a drop...
G D/F# Em C
Of water
(C) G D/F# Em C
Waaaaaater Ooohh
G D/F# Em C
ahh...
G
I tried desperately to run through the sand
D/F#
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
Em
'Cause it's all that I have, and it's all that I need
C
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me
G
But I tried my best and all that I can
D/F#
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
C
The sand will slow me down, and the water will drain
G
I'm just begin dramatic, in fact
D/F#
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to wind
Em
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
C
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
G
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
As a walking denial
D/F#
My trial was filed
As a crazy suicidal headcase
Em
But you specialize in dying
C
You hear me screaming, "Father!"
And I'm lying here just crying
G D/F# Em C
So wash me with your water
((Chords are the same as before through the end))
Waaaaaaater
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
I know I haven't been the best of sons
Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
And I, I haven't found a drop...of life!
I haven't found a drop...of You!
I haven't found a drooooooop...
I haven't found a drooooooop...
Of water...

version 2
Intro: |G D Em C|
Main Riff: This tab can be played throughout the entire song, but I usually like
switching to the chords during the poem part then switching back to the tabs
for the last verse.
