Verse 1:
A
I stand around at American weddings 
C
I stand around for family 
A
At my best when I'm terrorist inside
C
At my best when it's all me
A
I was there when you took all the people 
C
I was alone in a mental ravine 
A
You breathe life when you break the walls down 
C
You breathe life when you set me free 
Chorus:
F                              C
Where is my head, where are my bones
                        D        A#
Why are my days so far from home
F                             C
Where is my head Where are my bones
                     D               A#
Can you save me from myself, can you save me from myself

Verse 2:
C
Free thinking, renegade social 
A
Mr Moon man now
C
Out the slipstream of my possibilities 
A
got the boat so we don't drown 
C
These are the days that I'm split down the middle 
A
No words to calm me down 
C
Be sure that what you dream of 
A
won't come to hunt you out
