[Intro]
F* F G* D* Dm*
F F G D Dm
[Verse 1]
F
It wasn't long ago
G F G
Imagination could've never crashed
F
And now I'm wondering
G F G
How long reverse psychology can last, last
F
Another point of view
G
Constantly shows up uninvited
F
My head is burning up
G
From all the voices jammed inside it
F
Childhood beliefs can hardly breathe
G F
Waiting to see its favorite half
G
Of every glass
[Chorus]
Dm G Bb
All this time we starved
C Dm
Just trying to break the fever We caught
G Bb
This life is so short
Dm
And I'm trying to break the fever we caught
G Bb
Don't mind this war
C Dm
I'm just trying to break the fever we caught
G Bb
Surprise us all
C
And finally break the fever
[Verse 2]
F G F G
My sympathies for the obsolete are climbing higher every day
F G Dm G
It ain't so funny when you see it's you that's in everyone's way
F G
I've got nothing to prove and no one 'round to care if I did
F G
My head is burning up from all the doubts that overcrowd it
F G F
It's all a matter of time before I run out of points to make
F*
Out of points to make
Am* F* G*
Can't you see all the time it's wasting
F* Am* F* G*
They can't believe all the space we're taking
[Chorus]
Dm G Bb
All this time we starved
C Dm
Just trying to break the fever We caught
G Bb
This life is so short
Dm
And I'm trying to break the fever we caught
G Bb
Don't mind this war
C Dm
I'm just trying to break the fever we caught
G Bb
Surprise us all
C
And finally break the fever
