Verse 1
Em 
When you're far from home,
C 
G 
I do believe it's fair
Em 
To use a public bathroom
C 
G 
mirror to cut your hair
Em 
In a cheap south Hampton diner
Am 
I am both Samson and Delilah
C 
As I chain myself to the
pillars of nowhere
G 

Verse 2
Em 
And I walk back to the
C 
G 
booth where I was sat
Em 
With my transformation
C 
G 
hidden 'neath my hat
Em 
That's when suddenly it strikes me
Am 
All the lonely pilgrims like me
C 
Form a tribe of travelers scattered
across the mound
D

many empty plates
G 

Verse 5
Em 
We worked so hard trying
C 
G 
to keep holding the line
Em 
The human heart that starts

mental incompleteness

We're all bugs frozen in amber
C 
Small eternities that never seem to last

Let's write each other letters
