   You were the one that made her cry

   You were the one that told her lies
 D5               Db5                    D7     D6
   You were the one whose brain moved in circles
 D5            Db5         D7       D6
   Neither an adult or a child

You were the one that made her cry
You were the one that told her lies
You were the one whose brain moved in circles
Neither and adult or a child

Now it only moves you forward
And back to the blackness at the same time

Burnt out tracks, the world went black
Futile Lost my head, the world went red
Futile It's not true, the world went blue
Futile

You were the one collecting space
You were the one just saving face
You were the one whose brain moved in circles

Neither and adult or a child

Now it only moves you forward
And back to the blackness at the same time

Burnt out tracks, the world went black
Futile Lost my head, the world went red
Futile It's not true, the world went blue
Futile
