Tuning half step down 
 
Intro: A C# (x4) 
 
verse 1 
A                        C# 
As we glide over whatever 
A                           C#     E 
We know to be over forever 
A                            C# 
I really hope the shame is less 
E                           C# 
For what we feel in times of stress 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                         A      E 
But, I guess that's just depression 
                           C#   E 
No sense in fighting it now 
                             A   E 
You had me caught me in your headlights 
                    C#        E 
You were running me down 
 
 
verse 2 
A                                C# 
We speak in tongues and start to teethe 
A                                C#     E 
Lift your voice and scrape your knees 
A                         C# 
Kids in love will plant a seed 
E                     C# 
Resurrect and start to breathe 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                     A  E 
I thought I was a creator 
                            C#   E 
I'm here just hanging around 
                  A      E 
Got my messiah impression 
                            C#   E 
I think I got it nailed down 
 
                          A      C# 
I want to tell you we're alright 
                        E    A 
Want to erase all your doubt 
                         A    E 
I got this thorn dug in deeply 
                         C#   E 
Sometimes I can't get it out 
                         A   C# 
Sometimes I can't get it out 
                         A   C# 
Sometimes I can't get it out 
                         A   C# 
Sometimes I can't get it out 
 
verse 3 
A                          C# 
I'm strumming with a heavy wrist 
A                           C#    E 
Were you one of the cured kids? 
A                           C# 
Machines burn for the replica youth 
E                       C# 
I hope that we can eject soon 
 
Pre-Chorus 
                        A        E 
Because I don't want to surrender 
                              C#  E 
Or lose your face in the crowd 
                       A       E 
I finally found all my courage 
                             C#   E 
It was buried under the house 
 
                  A         C# 
Not just a manic depressive 
                         E    A 
Toting around my own crown 
                    A      E 
I've got a positive message 
                         C#     E 
Sometimes I can't get it out 
                         A   C# 
Sometimes I can't get it out 
                         A   C# 
Sometimes I can't get it out 
                         A   C# 
Sometimes I can't get it out
