Bm A
Take a moment if you dare
G Bm
Catch yourself a breath of air
G Gbm
There's another life out there
Bm
And you should try it
Verse 2
=======
Bm A
Dead ends hide on every street
G Bm
Look before you place your feet
G Gbm
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
Bm
And you're inside it
Refrain 1
=========
Bm
Every thought you never dared to think
G
Every mood you always knew would sink
Bm
Every line you spoke out loud in a jest
G
All the time you took to be your best
Bm
Soon forgotten
G Bm G
Verse 3
=======
Bm A
The sun must never touch your skin
G Bm
It could expose the dark within
G Gbm Bm
You're paranoid a-bout the para-noia
Bm A
And panic hits with-out a sign
G Bm
You worry about it all the time
G Gbm Bm
Every perfect moment is a hidden warning
Refrain 2
=========
G
Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin
Bm
And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in
G
With everything this way it's better to forget
Bm A
Than end up in a place with something to regret
Bm G Bm G
Verse 4
=======
Bm A
Your transatlantic shopping spree
G Bm
Your health forever guarantees
G Gbm Bm
Or-ganic bio life's a breeze in cosy prisons
Bm A
But hiding out in the salad bar
G Bm
Isn't gonna get you far
G Gbm Bm
And bottled wine is vinegar to-morrow
Refrain 3
=========
G
Everything around here makes your pretty head spin
Bm
Its piling up high and you're back where you begin
G
Moments you have tried so hard to forget
Bm A
Are promising to have been the best ones yet
Refrain 4
=========
Bm
Every time you shut your eyes it appears
G
Every time you trace your steps back here
Bm
None of your convictions have the same old ring
G
No doubt you found a place for everything
Bm/E
In cosy prisons
G
Verse 5
=======
Bm A
So if you're careful
G Bm
You won't get hurt
G Gbm
But if you're careful all the time
Bm
then what's it worth
