Tuning: 1/2 step down
Note: The G and A in the chorus are played one octave up
[Bm]
[Bm]The guardrail is tempting me
[A]Standing like a sentry to the left of me
[Em]Its guarding adventure that certain to be [G]life threatening
[Bm]Life threatening
[Bm]I need a tragedy to wake me
[Em]from perpetual dreaming, the proverbial "pinch me"
[D]I'm so sick of sleeping
[F#m]I'm so sick of sleeping
[Bm]And you wonder why my [G]eyes don't leave my phone
[D](oh whoa oh [A]oh oh)
[Bm]It's no wonder that you [G]feel like you're alone ([D]alone[A])
I think I need a new [Bm]story
G D
One where I take on the world
A Bm
The one I'm living is boring
[G]It's killing you and me both
[Bm] [Em] [D]
[Bm]The car crash in front of me
[A]Pulls me back from deep and desperate fantasy
[Em]Snaps me wide awake to see the horrible scene
[G]What's happening?
[F#m]What's happening?
[Bm]Is this the tragedy I asked for?
[Em]Is this blood on my hands a consequence of my own war?
[D]I'm so sick of sleeping
[F#m]I'm so sick of needing more
[Bm]And you wonder why my [G]eyes don't leave my phone
[D](oh whoa oh [A]oh oh)
[Bm]It's no wonder that you [G]feel like you're alone ([D]alone[A])
I think I need a new [Bm]story
G D
One where I take on the world
A Bm
The one I'm living is boring
[G]It's killing you and me both

1st time through, these are Bm instead of A.
[G]And you watch every [A]time
As I [F#m]give myself to [Bm]death and neglect [G]life
And [G#m]I blindly [A]desert the [A#m]plot line you deserve
[Bm]And you wonder why my [G]eyes don't leave my phone
[D](oh whoa oh [A]oh oh)
[Bm]It's no wonder that you [G]feel like you're alone ([D]alone[A])
