Verse:
Lonely boy, where do we go
I'm stuck believing in the other side
stuck on my own 
run fast, you're dreaming

no place to hide
safety in things i'm dumb for thinking
'cuz a piece of plastic
                        (just keep playing E don't go to B/E)
is nothing more than a piece of plastic

empty streets under my feet
how did we get so far?
from the general beat
across that great
held fast together in the dying day
oh you are swimming inside the magic hour
       F#m
oh and when you wet your skin
G#                              E
you can suck up all you need to know
A                               E           A
you can suck up all you need to know, oh oh

Verse:
picture me, how will you picture me when i am dead?
all fast and free, building a fantasy with blocks in my head
a legacy, do these things disapate in the years unread?
           F#m                   G#
i've got a pain just like a knife, and the time has left me

Chorus:
E 
oh i'm just trying to do my best
        A
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
E
build my love in the things i say
             A
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

oh i'm just trying to do my best
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
build my love in the things i say
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

     E         Fmaj7                                             
so i ran and i jumped and i flew till i came to the center of an
E
earth so cold
        Fmaj7
and the wind picked me up and took me straight to the belly of the 
E
fears i hold
      Fmaj7
and i ran and i ran and i ran and i ran 

       Dm
then i came right back threw my arms around you,
         F
you were dressed in black, i'm so glad i found you
         Dm
for they burned my stuff, objects all around me
         F
memories outlast things, memories astound me
     Dm                                         C
to a fate like this, keep your body down to the ground
                    B
to the soil that we love so much
                   C
i always wanted to return
                          B
return to the place where i was born
                     A
i always wanted to return
B               A         B
and i ran and i ran and i ran

Chorus:
oh i'm just trying to do my best
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
build my love in the things i say
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

oh i'm just trying to do my best
i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
build my love in the things i say
you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day
           F#m                G#
because in time it leaves you,
                   E
it leaves you like blood, red blood
                   A
it leaves you like blood, red blood
                   E
it leaves you like blood, red blood
                   A
it leaves you like blood, red blood

end on E

Cheers.
