B                E                             A
A little after twelve, the function suite was full
                        C#m    B
With people I had never seen before

Ripped up ticket stubs, confetti'ed on the floor
It dawned on me I’d seen it all before

Cool your beans my son, you look a fucking mess
No one’s getting out of here, tonight

Hit that button there, the one that just says wrong
We’ll lose our lives through all our favorite songs

Chorus:
B                             C#m
Go forward to later you look light on your feet
           E                        D
When you whirled in the room I was nailed to my seat
B                            C#m
I‘m like a prisoner getting ready to talk
             E                          D
I feel the blood in my hands and the threat in your walk
     B                     C#m
And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place
              E                        D
That keeps a fault in my step, and a grin on my face
B                            C#m
It can’t contain me but you needn't on me
        E                             D
Get me back in my box, and snap the branches off me

A little after four, the function suite is dead
And I am just a ripped up ticket stub

Here’s a helping hand, a voice that’s far too close
And I am up and on my broken limbs

Chorus

And suddenly it lifts the roof off the place
That keeps a fault in my step, and a grin on my face
It can’t contain me but you needn't on me
Get me back in my box, and snap the branches off me
