(D major)
And I'm sorry (E minor) when (G major) you wake up to me (D major)
I just (B minor) got (D major) tired
(B minor) Shining steady (D major) (G major) like a spider (D major)

Now the (B minor) people say (D major)
What (B minor) drugs did you (D major) take?
And (E minor) why don't (D major) you start (B minor) taking
(D major) them again? (G major)

But the (B minor) roots have (D major) leaves
(G major) Just because (D major) I can (B minor) 't describe (D major) it
(G major) doesn't (D major) mean I should (B minor) n't try
To untwist the knife (D major)
To un (B minor) make my (D major) mind
(E minor) Having (D major) been is (B minor) no way to (D major) be alive (G major)

And I'm (E minor) here
When you wake (G major) up to me (D major)
And I'm still (E minor) here
When you wake up (G major) to me
