Verse 1:
Em                           D                        
I start to part two halves of my heart in the dark and I
C
Don't know where I should go
                     B                       
And the tears and the fears begin to multiply
Em
Taking time in a simple place
    D
In my bed where my head rests on a pillowcase
         C           
And it's said that a war's led but I forget
     B
That I let another day go by
Em
I want to be afraid but it seems that these days
   D
I'm caught under water and I'm falling farther
C
My heart's getting harder, I'm calling my father
   B
Am I screaming to an empty sky?
Em                                 D
Empty sky, no way, that's me cause one half of my heart is free
C                                   B
Empty sky, no way, that's me cause the other half of my heart's asleep

Chorus:
Em        Em               C
   Sing a song but don't believe
     C               G
Blasphemy is just for me
        
Hypocrite, take your pick
Em                      G
Cause the poison's on my lips

Em
   Can I understand you?
C
   Can I understand you?
G
   Can I understand you?
D
   Can I understand you?

Verse 2:
        Em
Lights, camera, action, satisfaction
D                                   C
At your finger tips no one's lacking stuff
But it's not enough when it seems that
B
We have enough stuff just to blow stuff up
Em                    D
Lights, camera, stop! We're killing ourselves
Just to get to the top
       C
But we won't stop talking about what we got
    B
And how we all love it when we're loved a lot
Em
Enough about you, let's talk about me
D
And how everybody thinks I'm just so free
C
Free? Did you hear the Verse that came first
    B
And how my own body's waging war on me?
  Em
I bet you didn't know something as absurd
          D
There's a word that is said more than any other word
     C
It's sorry, sorry
B
  And I pray that the word was heard

Chorus:
Em        Em               C
   Sing a song but don't believe
     C               G
Blasphemy is just for me
        
Hypocrite, take your pick
Em                      G
Cause the poison's on my lips

Em
   Can I understand you?
C
   Can I understand you?
G
   Can I understand you?
D
   Can I understand you?

I want to be alive

Outro:
Em          C         G
    Let the water wash away
                D        Em
Everything that you've become
        C              G
On your knees, today is gone
               D       Em
And tomorrow's sure to come
  C               G
Tomorrow's sure to come
