N.C.
Holt's above my hideout
N.C.
I dug this hole beneath the floorboards
N.C.
Buzzing bad and locked in
N.C.
Try to not recall
F Am
Counting numbered days
G F
From the wheel we cried to clutch
F Am
Looking for some inspired land

Daytime
When every second of sun's the same

What's the point of staying awake?
[Fill]
F Am G F
F Am Gm* D5/F#
[Verse 2]
F (palm mute)
Your hands are out and I see
Am (palm mute) Gm* (palm mute)
You're asking me for a vowel but I am weak and I am stubborn
G7m (palm mute)
So I'll say "This is all I have right now"
E5/G# (palm mute)
But I want to make something good
Am* (palm mute)
I want to make something better
F (palm mute)
Something that cannot leave the ground
F (let ring)
Unless we lift it up together
[Chorus]
C G
Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away
Am F

C
It's a note to self mislaid
G Am
You ate the words you always used to say
G F
There will be no more fucking around today

Drunk and worthless, spewing bullshit all across the stage
Am F
Wake up and we find new hiding places
G F
Trying desperately to escape
G Am* B*
The glare from our stupid, spineless
(I don't believe you, you're all the same)
C* G* C* G
Words just whining, every fucking day
F
What do I really want to say?
[Chorus]
N.C. G
Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away
Am F
But pretending we feel safe right here gets harder every day
C
It's a note to self mislaid
G Am
You ate the words you always used to say
G F
There will be no more fucking around today
