[N]
I've been living [C#m] with a curse,
[E] coming through the pages of my head.
There's a [B] million soggy mouths, [E] soaking through the [A] sun.
[E]
I've been [C#m] staying up all night.
[E] I don't give a damn to [A] sleep [E] anymore.
My [B] eyelids are heavy, [E] but my dreams [A] don't seem like a [E] fool.
So I apologize a thousand times [A] for holding up the [E] show.
I always have the words, but they [A] don't quite know where to [E] go.
You said [B] give me one good reason, [C#m] now give me twenty [A] more.
Don't give yourself [E] away to settle [A] someone else's [E] score.
I got the [C#m] guiltiest conscience, [E]
listening for a savior [F#m] on a Saturday [E] night.
I got [B] my head to the ground, [C#m] you got Easter [A] Sunday in [E] your eyes.
And I apologize [B] if I seem a little [E]
overwhelmed.
I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing [Em] in my well.
[B] I had a purpose, and a song [A] that was true.
But I ain't never had [E] a lick of sense [A] when it comes [E] to you.

So try to be patient, [A] try to [E] understand.
I'm [C#m] a child [B] trying to do [A] the work of a [E] man.
My pockets [B] are empty, I don't [F#m] know a [A] thing.
But I'd take a diamond from [E] the sky and put it in your ring.
I've been living [C#m] with a curse,
