Verse
AmGF
I keep hearing a vicious rumor
GDmEm
From the back rooms, to the alleys, to the avenues
AmGF
That you lost your sense of humor
GFC
And the first place you look is the soles of your shoes
AmGF
And I watch these ice fields melt into the sea
GDmEm
Warming you're oceans to centuries
AmGF
Will your saline waters bring you back to me?
GFC
Oh the weight is bringing me to my knees
Chorus
DmCGF
Chemical switches thrown in the dark
GDmC
All it takes is a spark to begin
DmCGF
And can you tell which is a one with a mark?
GDmC
That Bleeds through the clothes to the skin

Too long I keep searching the alleys and avenues
AmGF
But it seems I'm doing it wrong
GFC
For I've seen neither hide nor hair of you

And it's a short short walk from pebbles to bricks
GF
From stones back to sticks

And as time goes by, gets harder to fix
GFGC
It's a volatile mix, like hydrogen and oxygen
Chorus

Chemical switches thrown in the dark
