Capo 2nd Fret

Intro C Em D x 2


Em 
You build a heart that’s strong
C
Walls to last long 
     Am  G    F
It’s paper mache

Em
You think the battle’s won
C
No use for shields and guns
       Am    G    F
You’ll need them now


         Em                        D
That the lump takes a home in your throat
                              Am   G      F
With the words that you’re choking as you try
        Em            D                      Am      G      F
To tell yourself its ok, flying by time to gaze but never face

         C                              D                                             
You’re stuck in the moment when you thought you were rolling but you 
Em    D    C
cant move on
      C                       D

can’t move on

C
No don’t stay go away
     Am      G
I’m left I’m right
      F
I’m black I’m white


Em                  C
You ride a carousel round and round till
    Am       G       F
the sickness grows inside


     Em                     D
that lump takes a strangling hold
                            Am        G        F
squeezes tight till you’re cold and tears run dry 
   Em                     D                   
and where you once were warm now is tattered and 
Am       G         F
torn crumbles and fades



         C                              D                                             
You’re stuck in the moment when you thought you were rolling but you 
Em    D    C
cant move on
      C                       D     
You feel like you’re able to live past the moment but you 
Em    D    A
can’t move on
