Verse
      G#m                         F#  
  Thinning airflow through a narrow hallway  
       G#m                                 F#  
  Hanging heads from the billboards, hoping to entertain  
                        E  
  I hear the circle resonate  
                      C#m  
  You're all nameless faces to me  
                        G#m  
  I'm merely a short daydream  
                   F#  
  I helped you get through nothing  
     
     
  [Chorus]  
                         G#m  
  And if you look real close  
                         B  
  Hands held under the thorns  
                         D#m  
  Keep you proud and me unknown  
                         C#  
  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
                     G#m       F#         G#m       F#  
  I'm under your control  
     
     
  [Verse 2]  
  G#m                                         F#  
  Press your face to wood floor, you're the grain  
  G#m                                         F#  
  Here's a savior for when you don't feel anything  
                         E  
  I am what you want me to be  
                            C#m  
  Ripped right out in front of me  
                                G#m  
  I was on the edge of your everything  
                          F#  
  Now something gets in the way  
                          E  
  Innocence sedates your memory  
                      C#m  
  The misbelief in anything  
                       G#m  
  I see you on every city street  
                        F#  
  Looking for me to fix your pain  
     
     
  [Chorus]  
                          G#m  
  And if you look real close  
                          B  
  Hands held under the thorns  
                           D#m  
  Keep you proud and me unknown  
                           C#m  
  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
                 G#m  
  It swallows everyone  
                             B                         D#m  
  You don't hold enough to show anything for what you've done  
                                  C#m  
  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
     
  I'm under your control  
     
     
  [Interlude]  
  G#m C#m     G#m C#m  
     
     
  [Bridge]  
  B  
  I've wished for this  
              G#m  
  Well, my attention comes and goes ever since  
  B  
  And I've dreamt of this  
                G#m                                  B  
  Well, it is never clean behind the film we're staring at  
     
     
  [Chorus]  
                          G#m  
  And if you look real close  
                         B  
  Hands held under the thorns  
                           D#m  
  Keep you proud and me unknown  
                            C#m  
  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
     
  It swallows everyone  
  G#m                         B                              D#m  
  You don't hold enough to show anything for what you've done  
                                  C#  
  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
                    G#m  
  I'm under your control
