first verse is the intro repeated
A
The bricks get laid,
and they get torn up,
and laid again,
C#m
but the bricks always get torn up again.
A
Your friends won't wait,
so don't believe that shit,
when they say they'll wait.
C#m
Trust me; your friends will not wait for you.
C#m - B - A
A B7
Then you'll be stoned in some park,
C#m E
just nodding your head and pinching your arms,
A
when a girl walks along.
B7
She's humming your song,
C#m
with your t-shirt on.
E
That's when you're done,
A2
Oh, that's when you're done...
A2-B2-A
A
There's a cotton crush
A
down in the southern states.
A
But back up here, man, we've got
C#m
so much thread and space
to waste, waste, waste.
C#m - B - A
A
There's a microphone
picking every word up
and it shuts itself off
C#m
when it's sure that's its heard enough.....
B A
The quiet can scrape
B
all the calm from your bones,
C#m
but maybe it should.
E
Maybe we need to be hollowed
A
to get up and grow,
B
and stop fucking around,
C#m E
to kick off our braces and start straightening out.
A
Let's sift through the static
B
to find a simpler sound
C#m
Let's sift through the static
E
to find a simpler sound...
A B
A simpler sound, a simpler sound
C#m E A
simpler sound than the shit that's clouding our heads now
A - B7 - C#m - E
