Intro
Four measures of Dm (you might not want to play it that long)
Verse
[Dm] My point of reference makes me[F] afraid to begin convincing,
[Bb] But you might as well just change y[A]our name.
[Dm] 'Cause I only recognize this s[F]hadow,
Kinda like a superh[Bb]ero with nobody's best [A]interests in m[Bb]ind.
Interlude
(Strike Once)
[D](s[A]lo[Bb]wly[F] release palm-mute)
A ------> Dm
Verse
[Dm] Now there's blood in the waters,[F] that I squeezed from this stone, here
[Bb] And we turned into our cheap[A] wine.
[Dm] And I swallowed every drop, yes,[F] I could feel my stomach rotting,
[Bb]You were so supportive as I d[A]rank through the p[Bb]ain.
Chorus
[Dm] You recogn[Bb]ize this sh[F]ape, it's the b[A]ack of your ha[Dm]nd.[Bb] [Gm] [A]
[Dm] You placed it [Bb]on my f[F]ace here a[A]gain, and aga[Dm]in,[Bb] [Gm] [A]yeah.
And [Dm]I don't w[C]anna be the [Bb]one who t[F]akes this[A] place in v[Dm]ein.
Another four measures of Dm
Verse
[Dm] Dove off the deep side platform,[F] jack-knifed and bone dry, I hit floor
[Bb] One broken ankle saved[A] my name.
[Dm] And this eraser burn, I d[F]ig in deep at every turn.
It k[Bb]eeps getting darker and the f[A]ear stays the s[Bb]ame.
Chorus
[Dm] You recogn[Bb]ize this sh[F]ape, it's the b[A]ack of your ha[Dm]nd.[Bb] [Gm] [A]
[Dm] You placed it [Bb]on my f[F]ace here a[A]gain, and aga[Dm]in,[Bb] [Gm] [A]yeah.
And [Dm]I don't w[C]anna be the [Bb]one who t[F]akes this p[Dm]lace
don't w[C]anna be the [Bb]one who t[F]akes,
[Dm]I don't w[C]anna be the [Bb]one who t[F]akes this[A] place in v[Bb]ein.[Dm]
