verse 1: 
Fm                         Eb 
  Cyclical, stuck inside a never ending rhyme 
           Ab                                      Cm 
But you're comfortable, just another day composing alibis 
Fm 
  Sing yourself to sleep, count the days gone by 
    Eb 
But outside of your walls passes real life 
   Ab 
So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick 
Cm 
Here's your chance to live, but I heard you say... 
 
Chorus: 
 F5             Ab5   G5 Eb5 
"We're heading nowhere 
F5              Ab5   G5 Eb5 
It's not close to them 
F5 
  Even horizons can fade 
Ab5               Eb5    Db5 C5 
  Hope says she's never a saint 
F5 
  They're all waiting on a prayer 
Ab5          G5    Fm 
  If we're heading nowhere" 
 
verse 2: 
Fm                                  Eb 
  Turbulence, am I causing you to think outside a cell for once 
          Ab                                               Cm 
Just feel comfortable, dissolving years like no one else before 
            Fm 
And I said, we'll go where you are, lead your way through this 
    Eb 
But fear and fail has made you its captive, it's passive 
   Ab 
So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick 
Cm 
Here's your chance to love, but I heard you scream!
