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