[N]
[Am] If you gave me [C] fresh carnation, [G] I would only crush [Bb] it into [A] petals
With me you have [C] no [G] space, and at the same time you have [Bb] no where to [D]
settle
[Gm] [Gb] I'm trampled [Gm] down, all I have in my [Eb] wake
I eat in [D] turn and take the [Bm] day
I've just never [E] had my eyes [Am] to play
I've so [D] much lost self [A]-image
If you gave me a [C] trip on my [G] podcast, you'd be plugging in [Bb] the wrong [Dm]
[Am] sockets
With me there's no [C] room for the future
[G] With me there's no [Bb] room [Dm] to live you [G] at [Gb] all
All kinds [F] of seas [Em] are now [Eb] here and they'll be shipping [D] all to my [Bm] empty cell
Touch [E] my heart and [Am] feel the winter, hold [D] my hand and be there [Cm] forever

[Gb] If you want to [Bb] live [E] right now, who [Eb] I am?
Look [D] no further than [Bm] the mirror
Because [E] I am the [Am] greed and fear, and every [D] hassle plagues [Cm] in you
