[Verse 1]
G Em
And I walk alone
C
Because I can't seem to sleep
G
With these fears underneath
Em
My pillow back home
G Em
And I'm moving slow
C
Because I can't find the need
G
To rush the world at my feet
Em
While you're tired I know
[Chorus]
G
You're like a totem to me
C
You know I carry you around
Em
Just like you told him to be
C
Every time I leave this town
G
You're like a totem to me
C
I know you carry me around
Em
Can't bring back what used to be
C
It's like what's lost was never found
[Verse 2]
G Em
There are ghosts in these rooms
C
But they're all fine with me
G
Just as long as that means
Em
You'll be hanging here too
G Em
There are men and there's fools
C
But when no one's to blame
G
Aren't we all just the same
Em
As the ones and their twos?
[Chorus]
G
You're like a totem to me
C
You know I carry you around
Em
Just like you told him to be
C
Every time I leave this town
G
You're like a totem to me
C
I know you carry me around
Em
Can't bring back what used to be
C
It's like what's lost was never found

Can't bring back what used to be
C
It seems the Queen misplaced her crown
