verse 1:  
 
A#m                 F#               C#    Fm   
      My heart gets lost like a message 
 
A#m              F# 
      My head is on the clouds 
 
          C#          Fm 
      And I don't get it  
 
A#m              F#           C#    Fm 
      And i'm so fashionably numb  
 
A#m                F#            C# 
      Sometimes it helps to forget 
 
                 Fm 
      Where we come from 
 
Break: A#m  F#  C#  Fm 
 
verse 2:  
 
A#m              F#                      C# 
      Out of the mire we were torn from 
 
        Fm 
      Remember  
 
A#m               F# 
      Out of the fire again 
 
           C#      Fm 
      But i'm an ember 
 
A#m            F#            C# 
      I hold a banner for you 
 
                 Fm 
      But it's upside down 
 
A#m              F#            C# 
      You got a question or two 
 
               Fm 
      But I'm tongue tied now 
 
 
 
A#m                F#             C# 
      Don't try to follow me I would 
 
                 G# 
      Hold you down if I could 
 
A#m                  F#         C# 
      Make you the enemy I would  
 
                G# 
      Let you down  
 
A#m                F#             C# 
      Don't try to follow me I would

      Hold you down if I could 
 
A#m                  F#         C# 
      Make you the enemy I would  
 
                G# 
      Let you down  
 
 
verse 3: 
 
A#m            F#               C#    Fm 
      I took a ride on the champagne 
 
A#m               F#               C#    Fm  
      You took a flight over San Fran Bay 
 
A#m     F#        C#     Fm 
      We washed misunderstood 
 
A#m                  F#              C#          Fm 
      Your heart was warm like a brother's should 
 
A#m                F#          C#    Fm 
      But then the gallow gave way 
 
A#m                  F#           C# 
      Sometimes they call after you 
 
               Fm 
      But you say 
 
 
 
A#m                F#             C#
