This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

(Keep repeated. Later on the A5 and C5 chords are palm-muted.)

Morning always seems too stale to justify

Lament blossoms, hours minutes of our lives

Broken thoughts run through your empty mind

At least a beaten dog knows how to lie

CHORUS

G5 D5 F5 C5 B5

I feel like I'm missing pieces of sleep,

G5 D5 F5 C5 B5

My memory fades to a pale landscape,

G5 D5 F5 C5 B5

You were an extinction a desert heat,

G5 D5 F5 C5 B5

A blind illness of my anxiety.

VERSE 2

Endless hours in bed, no peace, in this mind

No one knows the hell where innocence dies

Fragments crawling like cobwebs on stone

Blows away the safety only a sleeping pill knows

REPEAT CHORUS
