[Intro] C  Am  Em

C                                    Am
It slip between your fingers, out of grasp
        Em
You are vain
C                                      Am
To hold yourself so high - you'd never match

         Em
Far from sane
        Am      Em
I would like to know

        Am      G                 Am
I would like to know where you've been

Em                 C
To know where I'll go
         G           Am
And I'll lay down my arms
       Em      C      ( Em9  G5/E )
If you open up yours

C                             Am
Even when you write an honest song
        Em
You are vain
    C                              Am
You try and pick only the greatest words
              Em
It brings you pain

        Am      Em
I would like to know

        Am      G                 Am
I would like to know where you've been
   Em              C
To know where I'll go
         G           Am
And I'll lay down my arms
       Em      C
If you open up yours

         G             Am
When you like what you see
          Em          C
You don't countenance me
          G           Am
If you're all in your head
          Em       C
Then I'll never be near

  D
A crow rests in the tree, swinging by the balcony

It's staring right at me, I can't believe
                G     Em        
I'm starting to break down

D
Just another sip, anormally, it offers me

Some liquid, bitter, dark

A starry night surrounding thee
C
No, it cannot be, my enemy, what I've become

Voices in my head, I'm seeing red, it's made me numb
D                                                 B5
The fall I am about to face is now the only thing that has any 
       D5
beauty left
                        G     Em          
In awe with all of this break down

C                              Am
It takes so much to see within ourselves
       Em
We are vain
C                                 Am
Vain for living life far from our self
           Em
We have no names

        Am      Em  
I would like to know

        F7M     C                 Dm 
I would like to know where you've been
   Am              F
To know where I'll go
         C           Dm
And I'll lay down my arms
       Am      F
If you open up yours

         C             Dm
When you like what you see
          Am          F
You don't countenance me
          C           Dm
If you're all in your head
          Am       F       
Then I'll never be near
