    Em             G
The lack of light, hollow sea

B
Poison beaches, limousines

Em                  G             B
Toothless dentists, cops that kill

                  Em             G                       C
My baby's got the lonesome lows, don't quite go away overnight

       C  B                      Em       Am

       Em             G                 C
If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight

       C  B                      Em      Am  Em  B  E

Em            G
Hard to hold, cold to touch

In hindsight, primetime talk

Em       G           B
All your pain will end here

        Em     G             B
