[Verse]
          C                                   F
There's a sky full of lights, and none of them stars
                Am                   G                    F
But each white, silvery flicker's, a faithful reminder to us
     C                                                F
Of a weight that's in youth, that makes a dick of us all
      Am                        G                   F
If it happened today, then it's probably happened before

      C                                         F
In a crowd unfamiliar, I just wanna touch a familiar face
          Am                         G                       F
And make friends at the parties I've feared, the likes of an age
      C                                       F
To be wanted with truth, and make formidable love
     Am                     G                    F
See light in myself, that I see inside everyone else I know

[Verse]
           C                                   F
It's not a lacking of spine, nor of physical pulse
             Am                   G                    F
It's just a feeling of distance, akin to a feeling of loss
   C                                 F
Of love in the youth, of my limited life
     Am                       G                  F
That passed in a violent, and ritual screwing inside

    C                                          F
the years unfamiliar, are made of increasingly digital days
         Am                      G                         F
And I am grieving the loss of myself, with frightening malaise
             C                                        F
When there's weightness in youth, and the sum of it's small
     Am                         G                           F
Just stand in the darkness, and laugh with your heel on its throat

[Chorus]
C                 Am              G               C
      'Coz not everything means something honey
   Am                 G                     C
So say the unsayable, say the most human of things
       Am            G          C
And if everything is temporary, I
     Am                   G                     C
Will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being

[Post Chorus]
            F
Alone in my house
          Am       G
Frozen in time
                 F
But don't get me wrong now honey
    C
I'm trying

[Verse]
          C                                     F
There's a warmth in the eyes and a clearness of thought
          Am                      G                      F
When the deepest of sighs and the frankest of shadows are gone
      C                                 F
We're pushing a stone, up a mountainous waste
        Am                           G                    F
And the lines at the store look like lines on a beautiful face

         C                                       F
See, I'm not so assured, nor unusually strong or outstandingly brave
              Am                     G                        F
I'm more just fumbling around in the dark, for the bulk of my day
             C                                         F
When there's weight that's in youth and the sum of it's small
       Am                        G                          F
I will stand in the darkness and laugh with my heel on its throat

[Chorus]
C                 Am              G               C
      'Coz not everything means something honey
   Am                 G                     C
So say the unsayable, say the most human of things
       Am            G          C
And if everything is temporary, I
     Am                   G                     C
Will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being

[Post Chorus]
            F
Alone in my house
          Am       G
Frozen in time
                 F
But don't get me wrong now honey, I'm Okay

[Bridge]
   C                        F
Ah cast me a line, ah honey cast me a line
          Am                      G                       F
Won't you fear me tonight? Goddamn do you fear me tonight?
     C                         F
Ah pass me a light, ah honey pass me a light
          Am                      G                       F
Won't you feel me tonight? Goddamn do you feel me tonight?

[Chorus]
C                 Am              G               C
      'Coz not everything means something honey
   Am                 G                     C
So say the unsayable, say the most human of things
   Am            G          C
if everything is temporary, I
     Am                   G                     C
Will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being
