Standard (EADGBE)

I wanna run from the apathy

from the questioning tongues

 and eyes that just won't come off

and get a job in an industry

where a smile's not required

 and the complaints are always the same

cause baby you must be so fed up

with a boy that keeps telling you

 how much good he's gonna do

when all that is happening 'round here

is happening in here

and nothing gets out there

 except for the truth

it's up to you

 cause I'm absolutely numb

it's up to you

 cause I'm absolutely numb

I've been adrift on the silver surf

and I've paddled ahead of the fear

 that I'd fall behind

I took drinks from the glitter smurfs

and their company dads who never

 stood by in the crying

cause no one does and nobody ever will

there is only space for one

and surely he gets killed

 when the engine seizes up

you might call it existential crisis

I simply call it the bravery

 of emptiness

it's up to you

 cause I'm absolutely numb

it's up to you

 cause I'm absolutely numb
