G Em
Well hush there'll be no more tonight
C
You can't work and I can't fight
G D
Well that's just beautiful
G Em
But it's the way you hold your breath
C
That's scarin' me to death
G D
Well that's your way, anyway, anyway
Em C
If everybody talks
Em C D
We gotta listen to what they say
C D
There's a picture that I'm painting
Em G
And you know it won't be pretty
C D Em
It's a song I give someone else to sing
C D G D Em
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
C D
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
G Em C D
G Em C D
G Em
"I don't mean to pry but it's been said
C
That you've got Demons in your head"
G D
I ask real casual
G Em
But it's the way I wear my frown
C
That only helps to bring you down
G D
Well that's my way, anyway, anyway
Em C
And everybody talks
Em C D
We gotta make it make some sense
C D
There's a picture that I'm painting
