Guitar 2: x2

Verse 1:

I settled down

A twisted up frown

Disguised as a smile well

I have it all

But not when I wanted

'Cause over me was a

place uncharted

And overgrown

You make your way in

I resist you just like this

You can't tell me to feel

The truth never set me

free So I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach a little

more More More More More

Open your eyes

Like I opened mine

It's only the real world

Life you will never know

Shifting your way

To throw off the pain

Well you can ignore it

But only for so long

You look like I did

You resist me just like this

You can't tell me to heal

How it felt to shut down

Verse 1:

if i'm a bad person

make my own way

it's a circle

a mean cycle

you're not a judge

but if you're gonna judge me

well sentence me to another life

Refrain:

don't wanna hear your sad songs

i don't wanna feel your pain

when you swear it's all my fault

cause you know we're not the

the friends who stuck together

we wrote our names in blood

but i guess you can't accept

that the change is good

it's good it's good it's good

3 - Playing God

Verse:

I can't make my own decisions or make any with precision

Well, maybe you should tie me up, so I don't go where you don't want me

You say that I've been changing that I'm not just simply aging

Yeah, how could that be logical? Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

Woah

Chorus:

You don't have to believe me, but the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger, I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to the mirror

Verse:

If God's the game that you're playing, well we must get more acquainted

Because it has to be so lonely, to be the only one who's holy

It's just my humble opinion, but it's one that I believe in

You don't deserve a point of view, if the only thing you see is you

Woah

Chorus:

You don't have to believe me, but the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger, I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to the mirror

Bridge:

This is the last second chance (I'll point you to the mirror)

I'm half as good as it gets (I'll point you to the mirror)

I'm on both sides of the fence (I'll point you to the mirror)

Without a hint of regret, I'll hold you to it

Chorus:

I know you don't believe me, but the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger, I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to the mirror

I know you won't believe me, but the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger, I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to the mirror

4 - Brick By Boring Brick

Intro:

Verse 1:

She lives in a fairy tale Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell Of a world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her

The angels are all wrong now She's ripping wings off of butterflies

With her feet on the ground

And her head in the clouds

Chorus:

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle,

bury the castle

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle,

bury the castle

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da

Verse 2:

So one day he found her crying Coiled up on the dirty ground

Her prince finally came to save her And the rest you can figure out

But it was a trick And the clock struck 12

Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick or the wolves gonna blow it down

With her feet on the ground

And her head in the clouds

Chorus:

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle,

bury the castle

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle,

Bridge:

well you built up a world of magic

Because your real life is tragic

Yeah you built up a world of magic

well If it's not real You can't hold it in your hands

You can't feel it with your heart

and I won't believe it

But if it's true then You can see it with your eyes

Even in the dark

And that's where I want to be, yeah

5 - Turn It Off

Intro: Am,G,C,G,Am,G,C X2

Verse 1

I scraped my knees when I was praying

And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like

It's getting harder to believe in anything

And just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like

To find perfection in my pride

To see nothing in the light?

But turn it off In all my spite

In all my spite I'll turn it off

Chorus

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're heading for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

Am,G,C,G,Am,G,C

Verse 2

The tragedy it seems unending

I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending

We're taking short cuts and false solutions

Just to come out the hero

Well I can see behind the curtain

The world's cranking, turning, so wrong the way we're working

Towards a goal, that's nonexistent

It's nonexistent, but we just keep believing

Chorus

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're heading for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

Am,G,C,G,Am,G,C

Bridge: Am,G,C,G,Am,G,C

I wanna know what it'd be like

To find perfection in my pride

To see nothing in the light?

But turn it off In all my spite

In all my spite I'll turn it off Just turn it off

Am,G,C,G,Am,G,C x2

Chorus

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're heading for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

And the worst part is

Before it gets any better

We're heading for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

6 - The Only Exception

INTRO F = 133211

VERSE1

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it

And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love

if it does not exist, but darling

CHORUS

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

VERSE2

...Dm Cmaj7

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

CHORUS

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

BRIDGE

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't

Let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

CHORUS

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

CHORUS

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

OUTRO

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

And run

From them from them

With no direction

Run from them from them

With no conviction

Traveling endlessly

Don't need no road

In fact they follow me

Verse 2:

And we just go in circles

A broken heart and twisted minds?

So I can find someone to rely on

And run To

them to them

Full speed ahead

Oh you are

not Useless

We are just

They echo me in circles

11 - All I Wanted

CAPO 2

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there

I'll beg you nice from my knees

And when the world treats you way too fairly

Well it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times

And fall asleep on the couch

And wake up early to black and white re-runs

That escape from my mouth

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning

Just to relive the start

And maybe then we'd remember to slow down

At all of our favourite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
