Lyrics

[Intro]
| B5 - | - C#5 | G#5 - | - E5 |
| B5 - | - C#5 | G#5 - | - E5 |

[Verse 1]
G#5
Spreading,
     B5               E5
it's headed here like lightning
G#5            B5             E5
Screaming like elevated trains

[Verse 2]
F#5     G#5             B5                  E5
   Does this word sound like the death bird calling?
         G#5        B5           E5
Out your name at midnight, once again,
        F#5
it tries   at twelve fifteen

[Chorus]
B5                        C#5        G#5
  Every dirty trick every second lost
                      E5
Every crucifix, every albatross
B5
  Every bridge I burn,
      C#5         G#5
every path I cross
                           E5     B5
Every chance I get, I find myself lost
                  F#5                 G#5
Everywhere I look,   everyone's insane
                             E5
Give me a good book and some Novocaine
B5                       C#5          G#5
  Everyone I know is now dead and gone
                    E5    F#5 E5
I'm all that's left,  oblivion

[Verse 3]
G#5          B5               E5
Leaving this freezing Land of Lincoln
G#5        B5                  E5
Seeking my place out in the sun

[Verse 4]
F#5    G#5                B5                   E5
   Has this world stopped asking what it's thinking?
           G#5
Did it stop   thinking of you,
B5            E5                   F#5               B5
  and when do you suppose it turned   its back on me?

[Chorus]
                        C#5        G#5
Every dirty trick every second lost
                      E5
Every crucifix, every albatross
B5
  Every bridge I burn,
      C#5         G#5
every path I cross
                           E5     B5
Every chance I get, I find myself lost
                  F#5                 G#5
Everywhere I look,   everyone's insane
                             E5
Give me a good book and some Novocaine
B5                       C#5          G#5
  Everyone I know is now dead and gone
                    E5    F#5
I'm all that's left,  oblivion

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
B5                        C#5        G#5
  Every dirty trick every second lost
                      E5
Every crucifix, every albatross
B5
  Every bridge I burn,
      C#5         G#5
every path I cross
                           E5     B5
Every chance I get, I find myself lost
                  F#5                 G#5
Everywhere I look,   everyone's insane
                             E5
Give me a good book and some Novocaine
B5                       C#5          G#5
  Everyone I know is now dead and gone
                    E5    F#5 B5
I'm all that's left,  oblivion
