[Intro 1]
[B][Em][B][B5][B]

[Verse 1]
You hold me [B]inside
your iris
Like a terminal stain on life
[E5][B]
You condescend to my primal brain
And twist me around like a [F5]knife
[F]Can't begin[Em] to expla[F]in
[Em]The [F5]feeli[C]ngs I[G][Em]
have re[F]strained[Em]
Don't [C]ask me [G]how [Em]I am[F5]
[F]Because you're too[Em] busy
[F]planning [G]your epi[Em]taph
[F5]Let [F]me tell [F5]you

[Verse 2]
[B]Don't, [C]try to [F5]be the o[B]ne, person
[F5]Who [B]has stayed, [C]just to say
[Em]They never[D5] left me![B]
[C]Aggravate[F5]d, com[B]plicat[C]ed,[Em]
[B]som[C]eone say[F5] it
[D#5]God, I[D5] never learn
[B5][B]

[Verse 3]
You keep me hidden behind a curtain,
An audible human display
You feed me orchids to give
me courage
And keep me in line with disdain
[Em]Can'[F]t be gin[C]

[Verse 4]
[Em]to explain[F][Em]
The [C]feelings [Em]I have rest[F]rained[B]
[D5]Don't ask [C]me h[F]ow I[B] am[D5]
[F]Because you're too[B] bus[D5]y
[C]planning [G]your epi[Em]taph
[D5]Let [F]me tell [F5]you

[Verse 5]
[B]Don't, [C]try to [E5]be the o[B]ne, pe[C]rson
[F5]Who has [B]stayed, [C5]just to say
[F5]They never[D5] left me![B]
Ag[C]grav[Em]ated, [B]compli[C]cate[Em]d,
[B]som[C]eone say[Em] it
[D5]God, I [B5]nev e[B]r[B5][B]
[Em]
[B]lea[B5]rn[B][Em][D5]

[Verse 6]
[B]I have nothing left for you
You [D5]left me with [B]nothing

[Interlude 1]
[A5][B]

[Verse 7]
I live at [B]arm's length and die a little,
Between your constants by day
I want my soul back before it's over,
I can't even wish you [Em]away
[C]Can't be [G]gin

[Verse 8]
[Em]to explain[F][Em]
The [C]feeling[G]s I[Em] have restra[F]ined
[Em]Don't ask [F]me how I[Em] am
[F]Becau[C]se you're too[B] bus[F5]y
[F]planning [G]your epi[Em]taph
[F5]Let me tell you

[Verse 9]
[B]Don't, [C]try to [Em]be t[B]he one, pers[C]on
[F5]Who has [B]stayed, just to say
[F5]They[D5] never left me![B]
Aggrav[F5]ated, [B]compli[C]cate[Em]d,
[B]som[C]eone say[F5] it
[D5]God, I [B5]nev e[B]r learn
[B]
