C#m7 F#m7
Call me back tomorrow
C#m7 F#m7
Today is not so good
Bm7 F#m7/G#
I'm in a bad place in my head
Bm7 F#m7/G#
And I can't get out of bed
C#m7 F#m7
If I pull myself together
C#m7 F#m7
It wouldn't mean a thing
Bm7 F#m7/G#
I've always been the one who finds
A D C#m(#5,B9) B7
A way to turn it around
F7 A D/F# A
When I'm going down that road
C#m7 F#m7
Today and tomorrow
C#m7 F#m7
Still so unpredictable
Bm7 F#m7/G#
I'm either setting my sail
Bm7 F#m7/G#
Or pulling out nails
C#m7 F#m7
If I pull myself together
C#m7 F#m7
Like a pair of open scissors
Bm7 F#m7/G#
In a room of paper dolls
A D C#m(#5,B9) B7
My eyes stay glued to the wall
F7 A
I'm going down that road
[Intro]
C#m7 F#m7
Lost among the mirrors
C#m7 F#m7
Facing the mirror
Bm7 E5
Trying to imitate myself
Bm7 E5
Obliterate myself
C#m7 F#m7
If I tried something different
C#m7 F#m7
Tried leaning on a friend
Bm7 E5
Stuffed in a box beneath my bed
A D C#m(#5,B9) B7
In an orgy of retouched flesh
F7 A
I'm going down that road
B7 F7 A
I'm going down that road
B7 F7 A
I'm going down that road
