[Intro]
Bm A E Bm x2
[Verse]
Bm A E Bm
Why do I deserve the science to feel better about you?
Bm A
At a loss I lost my cool
E Bm
I denied that I found you
Bm A
I tried to be a basket case
E Bm
I did not surprise you
Bm A
I'm trying to find a signal fire
E Bm
Let me know when I should move
[Chorus]
D A
But you, amplified in the silence
E Bm
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Bm A
magnified in the science
E Bm
Anatomically proved
D E Bm
That you don't need me
Bm A E Bm x2
[Verse]
Bm A
Why do I desire the space?
E Bm
I was mourning after you
Bm A
I was lost and lost my shape
E Bm
There was nothing I could do
Bm A
I don't want to waste away
E Bm
It was all I gave to you
Bm A
Take me back and take my place
E Bm
I will rise right up for you
[Chorus]
D A
But you, amplified in the silence
E Bm
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Bm A
magnified in the science
E Bm
Anatomically proved
D E Bm
That you don't need me
[Bridge]
Bm E
All the while you waste away, you're asking
A D Cm Bm
"Did I really need another one to take me down?"
Bm E
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
A D Cm Bm
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
Bm E
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
Bm A E Bm x2
[Outro ]
Bm
There was nothing but quiet retractions
A E
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good,
Bm
I don't know how it got there"
Bm
That was something your father had burned in me
A
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
E Bm
"You can go anywhere but you are where you came from"
Bm
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
A
There is nothing but darkness and agony
E Bm
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Bm
Let me watch you as close as a memory
A
Let me hold you above all the misery
E Bm
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
