Intro:
F#m
(riff 1 below)
F#m Em7 Dmaj7 C#7
Verse 1: (same chords as intro + riff 1)
Those seven months I spent rolling around on the floor
Just like a crippled bird I had my back through the door
Still I turned my nose up at the water and bread
Despite my greater love I was pretected and fed
Chorus: (riff 2)
A F#m
But I am here, I am here in the center of myself
D E
And do you still think about me?
A F#m
Yes I am here, waging battle with this version of myself
D E F#m
I right my wrongs and think how things used to be, yes I do
break: intro chords but with riff 3 + riff 4
Verse 2:(same as break)
Some kind of violent spring I have to cover my eyes
Water chokes the lense spitting up on the sky
Rain down in paragraph form
Too late and I don't know why
I put my legacy first
Oh what a reason to die
(Verse 1 (ie riff 1 again))
All the hours past, the body pressed to the wall
Hear you breath in, breath out sometimes nothing at all
Can you still hear me now
Oh there's no labour too small
Labour run through you, it's just response to a call
Chorus: (riff 2)
But I am here, I am here in the center of myself
And do you still think about me?
Yes I am here waging battle with this version of myself
I right my wrongs and think how things used to be, yes I do
Bridge:
Dmaj7
A celebration coming up, I see the rising of dawn
A B
Oh, the sun in the scratch of the mirror it starts to blind me
Dmaj7
Coming up fast when did it start to go wrong?
A B
I keep a picture of you on the mantle to remind me
Bm Dmaj7 Bm C#m F#
of a time when life used to be so easy, so easy, and so small
Verse 3:
G#m F#m
I want to dance something caustic and real
Emaj7 D#7
Oh these days we trade the earth for the things that we feel
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-
G#m F#m
Healing hands never choosing to heal, all this time
Emaj7 D#7
The laws smashed I know you like breaking laws
G#m
Something you felt, something you've seen
F#m
We are embodied in between
Emaj7
But when you're lost in your right (?)
D#7
When you are selfish and mean
G#m F#m
You are the ugliest person that I have ever seen
Emaj7 D#7
And I hate you, I hate you, yes I really do

Chorus 2:(riff 5)
B G#m
But I am here, I am here in the center of myself
E F#
And do you still think about me?
B G#m
Yes I am here, waging battle with this version of myself
E F#
I right my wrongs and think how things used to be
Chorus chords (riff 5 + riff 6)
I am here, I am here in the center of myself
And do you still think about me?
Yes I am here waging battle with this version of myself
I bite my tongue and think how things used to be
B
so easy
