Verse
      Gm                         F  
  Thinning airflow through a narrow hallway  
       Gm                                 F  
  Hanging heads from the billboards, hoping to entertain  
                        D#  
  I hear the circle resonate  
                      Cm  
  You're all nameless faces to me  
                        Gm  
  I'm merely a short daydream  
                   F  
  I helped you get through nothing  
     
     
  [Chorus]  
                         Gm  
  And if you look real close  
                         A#  
  Hands held under the thorns  
                         Dm  
  Keep you proud and me unknown  
                         C  
  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
                     Gm       F         Gm       F  
  I'm under your control  
     
     
  [Verse 2]  
  Gm                                         F  
  Press your face to wood floor, you're the grain  
  Gm                                         F  
  Here's a savior for when you don't feel anything  
                         D#  
  I am what you want me to be  
                            Cm  
  Ripped right out in front of me  
                                Gm  
  I was on the edge of your everything  
                          F  
  Now something gets in the way  
                          D#  
  Innocence sedates your memory  
                      Cm  
  The misbelief in anything  
                       Gm  
  I see you on every city street  
                        F  
  Looking for me to fix your pain

  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
                 Gm  
  It swallows everyone  
                             A#                         Dm  
  You don't hold enough to show anything for what you've done  
                                  Cm  
  I'm your toy when things get shallow  
     
  I'm under your control

  Gm Cm     Gm Cm  
     
     
  [Bridge]  
  A#  
  I've wished for this  
              Gm  
  Well, my attention comes and goes ever since  
  A#  
  And I've dreamt of this  
                Gm                                  A#  
  Well, it is never clean behind the film we're staring at  
     
     
  [Chorus]
