Four years of hard work!

Kind of tricky song, and this is my first tab...so be "gentle" I guess. The
Prechorus is a little sketchy, but it's right with the music.

Capo on 1

INTRO - |: Bb-C :|

Verse:
F C
I really need to talk with you
Dm
I keep stepping on the vein
Bb
That keeps my lifeline flowing through.
F C
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
Dm
But I don't feel perfect at all,

A Sad and insecure flaw
F C
I find it hard to hold conversation
Dm Bb
I get sweaty, sick, and I wanna walk away
F C
It's not you, this is strictly me in this situation
Dm
I'm wondering will it ever go away? Just go away...

PRE-CHORUS
Bb
Sometimes I feel like weeping
A
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Abm F
Perfecting how to put a game face on
Bb
This puzzle I've been keeping
A
Has been in hiding creeping
Abm A
Out the closet door, spilling out onto the floor;

CHORUS
F C Dm Bb F C Dm Bb
How long will I be picking up the pieces?
F C Dm Bb ... C
How long will I be picking up my heart?

VERSE
F C
I'll be as honest as I feel
Dm
I'm getting more paranoid, and I'm hearing things
Bb F
And they never turn out real.
C
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel,
Dm
It's just so heavy all the time.

(little interlude here, obviously)
F C
Yea I'm scared of death, I'm scared of living
Dm Bb
I gave up on the past 'cause it was unforgiving
F
I misplaced my trust,
C
Watched my words begin to rust,
Dm
I'm a balloon about to bust
Bb
I need a place for reliving still -





CHORUS 2
F C Dm
How long in another place in time,
Bb F C Dm Bb
Picking up the pieces in the corner of my mind?
F C Dm
How long, living oh so hard to find,
Bb F C Dm Bb
Picking up the pieces in the corner of my mind?

Ends with "Whoa's" and "I still walk on / I wake up every morning," using the same
chords and timing from the chorus. Enjoy, rate and comment if there are problems.
