Key: C


Verse:
C5                    D#5
Get me out of my head
G#5
Drag me out of my bed
     F      C                    D#5
And make me move around to forget
G#5                            F5     C                         D#5
There is time that needs to be wasted to feel something instead
G#5                             F
I will dive in my own delusions
C                    D#5
Draping mirrors again
G#5                              F
Safe inside of my own illusion      It's the hope that kills you

Chorus:
     G#5           F            C
So I close my eyes till it all fades
         G#5            F           C
And so I close my eyes, then it all fades
              G#5     F         C
Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again
              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades


C5       D#5  G#5       F
Ah-ah-ah      Ah-ah-ah

Verse:
C5                     D#5
Stepping into the void
G#5                           F
Even if it amounts to nothing
C5                     D#5
Silence is to avoid
G#5                                F
Reaching out to hold on to something
C5                     D#5
I wish I could enjoy
G#5                           F
Worthless means of communicating
C5                      D#5
Words that only destroy
G#5                           F
Leave me feeling, fearing, oh


Chorus:
     G#5           F            C
So I close my eyes till it all fades
         G#5            F           C
And so I close my eyes, then it all fades
              G#5     F         C
Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again
              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades


Bridge:
D#5     D5       C5
I can't help but feel!
D#      D5          C5
I can't tell what's real!
It's the hope that kills you


Chorus:
     G#5           F            C
So I close my eyes till it all fades
         G#5            F           C
And so I close my eyes, then it all fades
              G#5     F         C
Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again
              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades
G#5           F            C
(Ah-ah-ah)                    So I close my eyes till it all fades
G#5           F            C
(Ah-ah-ah)
                              G#5     F         C
I close my eyes Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again
              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades
