F#m
When you were nine

          E
They said he had

         A
Lost his mind

         D
You have learned

        F#m
Way too soon

           E                    A     
You should never trust the pantaloon
D
You are tired
A
You are hurt
F#m
A moth ate through
E
Your favorite shirt
D                   A
And all your friends fertilize
F#m
The ground you walk
C#m    D    A
Lose your mind
A                     D
II. I'm never what I like,
                   F#m                 E
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
                   A                 D
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
                    F#m              E
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside my mind.

Please tell them
V. G    C                G
  Why won't you let me go?
Em             G         C
Do I threaten all your plans?
        D
I'm insignificant.
                  G   C                G
Please tell them you have no plans for me.

I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?

VI. Hello
                           G/F#
We haven't talked in quite some time
Em
I know
                   C
I haven't been the best
   G
Of sons
Hello
I've been traveling in
    G/F#
The desert of my mind
    Em
And I
               C
Haven't found a drop
G
I try desperately to run through the sand
  G/F#
As I hold the water
In the palm of my hand
          Em
Cause it's all that I have
And it's all that I need and
    C
The waves of the water
Mean nothing to me
     G
But I try my best
And all that I can to
G/F#
Hold tightly onto
What's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how
How tightly I will strain
C
The sand will slow me down
And the water will drain
G
I'm just being dramatic
In fact,
               G/F#
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to the wind
      Em
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
    C
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
                     G
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
     G/F#
As a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy
               Em
Suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying
You hear me screaming
     C
Father
And I'm lying here just crying
                        G
So wash me with your water
