🎸 Intro:

(All Chords are Power Chords)
G E F Gb x4




🎸 Verse 1:
G
I'm not getting excited

'Cause the thrill isn't mine to invite in

Just the chill when I learn that it's finally my turn

I have finally earned my place in the urn
C
And I take a fall

But I keep my hands soft

I keep my body limp and I move with the wind
              Bb           G
I'll go where it bends and let go of the expectation

G E F Gb


🎸 Verse 2:
G
I'm not getting excited

'Cause the light on my phone's got me hiding

When it flashes at night, it's the bringer of signs

I can see through my eyelids
I know that it's time
   C
And I hold it all

But I keep my hands soft

All the answering, asking, my thoughts are a rat king
                 Bb
There's no point untangling the thought from the action
     G
I'm awake

G E F Gb


🎸 Chorus:
D             C
What is it like, the other side
       Bb        G
Where all my vital signs aren't fading away?
D            C
Violent dreams keep me awake
      Bb        G
I wear the same face in the morning

A warning


Instrumental 🎸 Bridge:
G E F Gb


🎸 Verse 3:
G
I'm not getting excited

'Cause my fight and my flight are divided

And so I don't enthuse, keep my grip on joy loose

And I wait for the news with my feet in my shoes
   C
And I lose it all

With one foot out the door

When I smile
I lie with my eye to the side
   Bb
So I greet with goodbye
I greet with goodbye
   G
Yeah, goodbye

N.C.


🎸 Chorus:
D             C
What is it like, the other side
       Bb        G
Where all my vital signs aren't fading away?
D            C
Violent dreams keep me awake
      Bb        G
I wear the same face in the morning
