Em                       Em/C#
You got your head turned round
               C
Walking upside down
                   D
Through the sunken dream
                     A
Through the crushing crowd
                       G
You don't know what it means
                        Dsus4
Cause you're a broken machine 
                  Em
You won't lisp it out
                 Em/C#
Dressing up your man
                C
It's all second hand 
             D
It's all hindsight
               A
You don't understand
                   G
It's just an empty scene
                    Dsus4
It's still an empty scheme
                   Em G
You wanna block it out
       A                   C
Well I know what I'm gonna do
              Em G
With this big doubt
   A             C        
I'm gonna make it go away

Em             Em/C#
You go walking out
                   C
Through the rose city
                  D
Without a ****ing clue
            A
With an attitude
                 G
Knowing what you need
                  Dsus4
What you will not do
             Em
The enemy is you
                   Em/C#
You beat up on yourself
                         C
Cause there ain't no one else
               D
Feels quite as good
                        A
To put straight through hell
                  G
You know yourself well
                  Dsus4
Know what you're about
                    Em G
Just wanna block it out
       A                   C
Well I know what I'm gonna do
              Em G
With this big doubt
   A              C
I'm gonna hide my face away
         Em G
Block it out
       A                   C
Well I know what I'm gonna do
              Em G
With this big doubt
   A             C
I'm gonna make it go away
