[Intro]
D Bb6 G Bb6 x3
D
[Verse]
D Bb6
I've been caught up in my mind
G Bb6
And time slips away and I've been fine letting it die
D Bb6 G
Now I find, it's a waste to let it waste
Bb6 D
It seems that time’s meant to be killed
Bb6 G Bb6
I will devour all, the little seconds now that pass, and make it last, I'll
D
bleed them dry and use them up
Bb6 G Bb6
And I won't give a fuck, if I should fail, if I should fall, I'll bleed it
out, I'll give it all,
D
I'll nail myself into the wall
Bb6 G Bb6 D
The clock is laughing and I'm gasping, grasping, can't relax
Bb6 G Bb6
The time has come to be undone, to beat back death, it's so much fun
D
The clock's run out
D Bb6 G Bb6 x2
D Bb6 G
So here I lie awake, combing through the hours passed, the notеs I've
Bb6
scrapped,
D
and looking for my last mistake
Bb6
Nеurotic to the bone, these thoughts are
G Bb6 D
Not my own, I'm copy pasting, fuck it all erase, and start over again
Bb6 G Bb6
Searching for my voice, but all the noise corrupts my mind, it's just so hard
D
for me to find the perfect words
Bb6 G Bb6
The melody that works, no one would even know, no one would notice, but I owe
D
this to myself to make it
Bb6 G Bb6 D
Perfect I am going crazy, won't settle for being lazy
Bb6 G Bb6 D Em
I'm not writing this for you, I don't have shit to prove to you
G Bb6 D Bb6
And all I wanna do, is take this time to do it right the first time so I'll
G Bb6 D Bb6
Write until I'm blue, and maybe you can hear it too
G Bb6
The shit that keeps me up 'til 2 and
D Bb6
Makes me question why I waste my time
G Bb6 D Bb6
Pretending I can step in line with you
D Bb6
You
D Bb6
You
D Bb6
You

I've been caught up in my mind
And time slips away
And I've been fine lettin' it die
Now, I find
It's a waste to let it waste
It seems that time's meant to be killed
And I will devour all
The little seconds, now that pass, I'll make them last
Then bleed them dry and use them up
And I won't give a fuck if I should fail, if I should fall
Bleed it out, I'll give it all, I'll nail myself into the wall
The clock is laughin'
And I'm gaspin', graspin'
Can't relax
The time has come
To be undone
To beat back death
It's so much fun
The clock's run out
So here, I lie awake
Combin' through the hours
Passed the notes I've scrapped
And lookin' for my last mistake
Neurotic to the bone
These thoughts are not my own, I'm copy-pastin'
Fuck it all and I'll erase and start again
Searchin' for my voice
But all the noise corrupts my mind
It's just so hard for me to find the perfect words
The melody that works
No one would even know
No one would notice
But, I owe this to myself to make it perfect
I am goin' crazy
Won't settle for bein' lazy
I'm not writin' this for you
I don't have shit to prove to you
And all I wanna do
Is take the time to do this right
The first time
So, I'll write until I'm blue
And maybe you can hear it too
The shit that keeps me up 'til two
Makes me question why I waste my time
Pretendin' I could step in line with you
You
You
You
