It's the [C] hardest thing I've ever [Em] had to [F] [G] do
To [Am] try and keep from calling [Em] [F] you
Well, [C] can my dreams keep coming [Em] [F] true
[G] How [Am] can they, 'cause when I [Em] sleep
I [F] never dream of you
As if the [F] dream of you, [G] it sleeps too
But it [Em] never slips [F] away
It just [F] gains its strength and [G] digs its hooks
To [Em] drag me through the [F] day
And I'm [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] caught
I forget all that I've been [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] taught
I can't keep calm, I can't keep [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] still
Pulled apart against my [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] will
It's the [C] hardest thing I've ever [Em] had to [F] [G] prove
You [Am] turned to salt as I turned [Em] around to [F] look at [G] you
Old [C] friends have said, the books I've [Em] read say [F] it's the thing to [G] do
But it's [Am] hard to see it when you're [Em] in it
'Cause [F] I went blind for you
Then you [F] leave my head and crawl [G] out of bed
[Em] Subconscious [F] solipsist
And [F] for those hours deep [G] in the dark
[Em] Perhaps you don't [F] exist
But I'm [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] caught
I forget all that I've been [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] taught
I can't keep calm, I can't keep [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] still
Pulled apart against my [Am] [Am/B] [C] [C/E] [F] will
And I'm [Dm] thrashing on the [C] line
[F] Somewhere between
[Dm] Desperate and [C] divine
[F] I can't keep calm, I can't keep [Dm] [C] [F] still
Persephone will have her [Dm] [C] [F] fill
[C] [F] [Em] [F] [C] [F] [Em] [F]
[C] [F] [Em] [F] [C] [F] [Em] [F]
And I'm [C] [F] [Em] caught
I forget [F] all that I've been [C] [F] [Em] taught
I can't keep [F] calm, I can't keep [C] [F] [Em] still
Pulled [F] apart against my [C] [F] [Em] [F] will
And I'm [C] [F] [Em] caught
I forget [F] all that I've been [C] [F] [Em] taught
I can't keep [F] calm, I can't keep [C] [F] [Em] still
Pulled [F] apart against my [C] [F] [Em] [F] will [C]
