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