Dear Reader

Tone [Am]

[F]Dear reader, If it [Am]feels like a trap you’re [G]already in one

[F]Dear reader, [Am]get out your map pick [G]somewhere and just run

[F]Dear reader, [Am]burn all the files, de[G]sert all your past lives

[F]And if you don’t [Am]recognize yourself [G]that means you did it right

 

Never take ad[Em]vice from some[Am]one who’s falling a[F]part [G]

Never take ad[Em]vice from someone [Am]who’s [G]falling apart

 

[F]Dear reader, [Am]bend when you can [G]snap when you have to

[F]Dear reader, you [Am]don’t have to answer [G]just ‘cause they asked you

[F]Dear reader, the [Am]greatest of luxuries [G]is your secrets

[F]Dear reader, when you [Am]aim at the devil [G]make sure you don’t miss

 

Never take ad[Em]vice from some[Am]one who’s falling a[F]part [G]

Never take ad[Em]vice from someone [Am]who’s [G]falling apart

 

So I [F]wander through these nights I prefer [Am]hiding in plain sight

My [G]fourth drink in my hand these desperate prayers of a cursed man

Spilling [F]out to you for free but [Am]darling, darling, please

You wouldn’t [G]take my word for it if you knew who was tal[F]king

If you [Am]knew where I was wal[G]king to a house, not a home, all alone

Cause nobody’s [F]there where I [Am]pace in my pen and

my friends found friends who [G]care no one sees when you lose

When you’re playing solita[F]ire

 

[F]You should find another [Am]guiding light [G]guiding light but I shine so bright

[F]You should find another [Am]guiding light [G]guiding light but I shine so bright …
