Verse
F#m D
Talking to ears that have been deaf
Cbm
For as long as I can remember
F#m D Cbm
A# self-medicated handicap, so I speak to myself
F#m D Cbm
And I try so hard to get his stupid deaf ears to hear
F#m
That I've become illiterate, I've become dumb
D Cbm
(Ya hear me? Ya hear me? Ya hear me?)
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
When I come through, you were dark blue
Cbm Fb
And I saved you from your darker days
F#m D
Born to take care of you
Cbm Fb
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
[Chorus]
F#m D
Hey, I heard it from the state
Cbm Fb
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
F#m D
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
Cbm Fb
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
F#m D
Hey, you try to compensate
Cbm Fb
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
F#m D
You showed me all your letters that I should've confiscated
Cbm Fb
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
[Verse 2]
F#m D
Shot down by a guy I never wanted to kiss
Cbm
Not gonna hear the singing of his ringing triumphing
F#m D
And I'm chugging along in a train
Cbm
And I'm heading the wrong way, and I'm a train wreck
F#m D
And my heart goes "beat, beat, beat"
Cbm
To the music of this sad, same song
F#m D
It's quite depressing, there is no fixing to the problem
Cbm
When you're talking to an idiot
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
When I come through, you were dark blue
Cbm Fb
And I saved you from your darker days
F#m D
Born to take care of you
Cbm Fb
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
F#m D
Baby, only maybe
Cbm Fb
Just a dreamer, but I soon found out
F#m D
Heard the train tracks were behind me
Cbm
Tried to warn me, but both of my ears went out
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D
When I come through, you were dark blue
Cbm Fb
And I saved you from your darker days
F#m D
Born to take care of you
Cbm Fb
Or I thought so, maybe it was just a phase
[Chorus]
F#m D
Hey, I heard it from the state
Cbm Fb
They told me you were never gonna let me get away
F#m D
And if you took me fishing you would never give me bait
Cbm Fb
I had to get away, I had to get away, ay, ay
F#m D
Hey, you try to compensate
Cbm Fb
For thinking with your one brain I should decapitate
F#m D

Cbm Fb
Both of my eyes were weighted and I had to get away
