F#m            D     
You were a child,
              A            E
Crawling on your knees toward it.
F#m                D       
Makin' momma so proud,
A               E    F#m D
But your voice is too loud.
                 A        E
We like to watch you laughing.
F#m                    D      
Picking insects off plants.
A                              E
No time to think of consequences

F#m            D
Control yourself.
                         A    E
Take only what you need from it.
F#m            D               A      E
А family of trees wantin', to be haunted

F#m            D 
The water is warm,
              A          E
But it's sending me shivers
F#m          D 
А baby is born,
A               E   F#m D
Crying out for attention.
                 A        E
Memories fade, like looking through a fogged mirror
F#m                    D    
Decisions to, decisions are made and not bought,
                 A        E
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot I guess not.

F#m            D
Control yourself.
                         A    E
Take only what you need from it.
F#m            D               A      E
А family of trees wantin', to be haunted

Verse 1:
F#m               C#7
Breathing in the dark
              F#m
Lying on its side
F#m               C#7
The ruins of the day
                 F#m
Painted with a scar
F#m                       C#7
And the more I straighten out
                      F#m
The less it wants to try
F#m                    C#7
The feelings start to rot
                 F#m
One wink at a time

Chorus 1:
Oh
Bm    C#m          A
Forgiving who you are
    D          C#m     Bm
For what you stand to gain
       C#m            A
Just know that if you hide
     D     C#m  Bm
It doesn't go away
     C#m              A
When you get out of bed
       D         Bm
Don't end up stranded
 C#
Horrified with each stone
C#7
On the stage
                 F#m
My little dark age

F#m

Verse 2:
F#m                    C#7
Picking through the cards
                 F#m
Knowing what's nearby
F#m                    C#7
The carvings on the face
                   F#m
Say they find it hard
F#m                    C#7
And the engine's failed again
                F#m
All limits of disguise
F#m                    C#7
The humor's not the same
              F#m
Coming from denial

Chorus 2:
Oh
Bm    C#m     A
I grieve in stereo
     D       C#m      Bm
The stereo sounds strange
C#m                  A
I know that if you hide
    D     C#m   Bm
It doesn't go away
   C#m             A
If you get out of bed
    D          Bm     C#m
And find me standing all alone open-eyed
C#7
Burn the page my little dark age

I grieve in stereo
     D  C#m            Bm
The stereo sounds strange
    C#m               A
You know that if it hides
   D      C#m   Bm
It doesn't go away
   C#m           A
If I get out of bed
       D         Bm     C#
You'll see me standing all alone horrified
C#7
On the stage

My little dark age

F#m

Bridge:
N.С.
Giddy with delight
N.С.
Seeing what's to come
D#m               C#m
The image of the dead

Dead ends in my mind

Love's seeping from the guns
   C#m                A
I know my friends and I
      D          C#m    Bm
Would probably turn and run
    C#m           A
If you get out of bed
      D       Bm        C#
Come find us heading for the bridge
C#
Bring a stone
C#7
All the rage
C#7
My little dark age

I grieve in stereo
     D               Bm
The stereo sounds strange

You know that if it hides
   D            Bm
It doesn't go away
   C#m           A
If I get out of bed
       D               C#m
You'll see me standing all alone

Open-eyed

Burn the page

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together
G                               B                    F#  G
We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever
G                     B
Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout
F#
Wave your hands, Make it rain
G
For stars will rise again.

F#                       G
The youth is starting to change
   Cm              G
Are you starting to change
     B
Are you?
Together
