Standard (EADGBE)

 Someone left the window open,

  and cold air's slowly creepin' in

 I'm sitting watching TV sitcoms,

  where everyone is happy in the end

 And I'm beginning to believe it

 Some say we can get by without the help of a friend

And I'm lying here, I'm remotely controlled

 Strapped to an engine stuck on idle

 I don't feel 'cause I fear, don't love 'cause I lost

(don't know, don't want to know)

I'm not myself 'til you are you...if I close my eyes, I'm killing you

 I carry the weight of this safety net, so

I feel like Hitler's girlfriend...I'm blind to this and numb to that

I know a girl who draws happy faces on everything she writes

She doesn't fool me...

 I've seen her bag of troubles, and it's not light

 Don't you know I want to reach out, cry for her

 Carry the weight, but something just won't let me leave the couch

There's a scream and a chain and a knife

And her head is full of spirits

 I don't get too close, might get what she got

(my foot is asleep)

Chorus

 I was sprawled out at the foot of my bed with a rage of fire

Goin' 'round in my head...and I said,

 "Could this be the salt of the earth in my tears?"

I was watching Miss Brown, some say she didn't know

Just took another Judas' kiss now

 Well I'm not blaming you...was there something you could do?

(my coffee's cold)

Chorus 2x

2nd ending changes slightly)

 I'm blind to this and numb to that
