Intro: D, Bm
Verse:
D
Safe little house, safe little friends,
Bm
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
G A
From all those big bad wolves that eat you up.
(oh shit)
D
Safe in your room,
Safe as a tomb,
Bm
Sleep in a coffin made of glass.
G A
It takes a big facade to hide your cries.
Pre-chorus:
Bm G
Can you make this last?
A D
Cause now I'm not so sure,
Bm G
Are you up to the task?
A D
Sometimes the sickness is the cure.
Bm
You're searching so hard,
G
You've lost yourself.
Chorus:
D
Does it help to play as you're wasting away
Bm
Like a silver screen cliche?
G D
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.
(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh)
D
Will it help you to wait for the moment to break,
Bm
Is it real or is it fate?
G Bm
All we are just chapters on a page.
(oh oh, oh oh. oh oh, oh oh.)
G A D
Cause after all we're actors on a stage.
Verse:
D
Hearing you now, shedding the doubts
Bm
They'll be no past or future tense.
G A
Regrets a waste of time and plans change.
(will always change)
D
Oh, some for the worst; some for the best.
Bm
You know you can always get your way.
G
So worried about what's next,
A
You lost today.
(You lost today)
