Intro: G D/F# E E5 Em D G G D/F# E5 Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Em D G D/F# E5 What a wonderful hesitation Em D C D/F# E5 who would bear to feel sorry for me Em D G F# E dropped another pill just to calm me Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep C9 There I was drifting G Am C G way out into the sunshine Am7 C G expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string Am7 C G Look at me I'm a tangled puppet Am C G D/F# E I might be a mess but I sure can survive Em D G D/F# E5 find myself awake counting sad days Em D C D/F# E5 1-2-3 that's too many for me Em D G F# E dropped another pill just to find me Em D reached for my hand Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 but it was already there C9 then I started believin' G Am C G that I fell out of a tiny raindrop Am7 C G that lost it's way when it decided to roam Am7 C G chasing me was a hungry dweller Am C G but I had escaped it by pretending to die C Cmaj7 C Come follow me you won't expect the illusion G D/F# E you'll see, it's my immagination C Cmaj7 C hand me your eyes C I will put them in front of mine G You'll see a little better You'll see a little better Bridge: G D/F# E E5 Em D G G D/F# E5 Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Em D G D/F# E5 What a wonderful destination Em D C D/F# E5 where I'm now I can no longer see Em D G F# E dropped another pill just to kill me Em D Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep C9 there I was drifting G Am C G way out into the sunshine Am C G expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string Am C G Look at me I'm a tangled puppet Am C G I might be a mess but I sure can survive Am C G But i had escaped it by pretending to die.
