                C                        D

Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake.

            Em

Everybody's empty and everything is so messed up.

                 C                         D

Pre-occupied without you, I cannot live at all.

                  E

My whole world surrounds you; I stumble, then I crawl.

                    C                        D

And you could be my someone, you could be my scene.

                      Em

You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene.

                     C                        D

I wonder what you're doing, imagine where you are.

                     E

There's oceans in between us; but that's not very far.

 

CHORUS:

        C5/G                       D5/A

Can you take it all away?  Can you take it all away?

          E5/B

Well, you shoved it in my face; this pain you gave to me.

C5/G                       D5/A

Can you take it all away?  Can you take it all away?

          E5/B

Well, you shoved it in my face.  [2nd x, add: "This pain you gave to me."]

 

Everyone is changing, there's no one left that's real.

So, make up your own ending and let me know just how you feel.

'Cause I am lost without you, I cannot live at all.

My whole world surrounds you; I stumble, then I crawl.

You could be my someone, you can be my scene.

You know that I will save you from all of the unclean.

I wonder what you're doing, I wonder where you are.

There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far.
