I  settled down
 A twisted up frown
Disguised  as a smile well
 You would have never known
 You would have never known
I  have it all
 But not when I wanted
 'Cause over me was a
 place uncharted
 And overgrown
You  make your way  in
 I resist  you just like this
 You can't tell me to feel
 The truth never set  me
 free So I did  it myself
 You can't  be too careful  anymore
 When all that is waiting  for you
 Won't come any  closer
 You've got to reach  a little
more More More More More
 Fm--G-Bbm-Fm--Bbm-Eb-
Open  your eyes
 Like I opened mine
 It's only  the real world
 Life you will never know
Shifting  your way
 To throw off the pain
 Well you can ignore it
 But only for so long
 You look like I  did
 You resist  me just like this
 You can't tell me to heal
 And it hurts remembering
 How it felt  to shut down
 (Repeat Chorus 1)

 2.) Ignorance
 key:
 Chords used:
--------  x2
 if i'm a bad person
 you don't like me
 i guess i'll
 make my own way
 it's a circle
 a mean cycle
 i can't excite you anymore
 where's your gavel? your jury?
 what's my offense this time?
 you're not a judge
 but if you're gonna judge me
 well sentence me to another life
 don't wanna hear your sad songs
 i don't wanna feel your pain
 when you swear it's all my fault
 cause you know we're not the
same  we're not the same
 oh we're  not the same
 the friends who stuck together
 we wrote our names in blood
 but i guess you can't accept
 that the change is good
  G Em-- x2
 it's good it's good it's good
 you treat me just  like
 another stranger
 well it's nice  to meet
 you sir  i guess i'll go
 i best be on  my way out
 (Repeat)
 Post Chorus:
ignorance  is your new best friend
 ignorance is your new best friend
 this is the best thing
 that could've happened
 any longer and i
 wouldn't have made it
 it's not a war no
 it's not a rapture
 i'm just a person
 but you can't take it
 the same tricks that
 once fooled me
 they won't get
 you anywhere
 i'm not the same kid
 from your memory
 now i can fend for myself

 Key:
 Chords used:
Cm---E--G#m-{eot}
Can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing
that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming
ideas down my throat
whoaB
You don't have to believe me
But the way I way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it break it offA
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
Cm--E-B-
If God's the game you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holyB/D#
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
whoaB
(Repeat Chorus)

Hayley:
This is the last second chance

Josh:
I'll point you to the mirror
Hayley:
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
I know you don't have to believe me
But the way I way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it break it off B
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
I know you don't have to believe me
But the way I way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back

 She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere  too far for us  to find
 Forgotten the taste  and smell
Of  the world that she's left behind
 It's all about the  exposure
 the lens  I told  her
 The angles were all  wrong now
 She's ripping  wings off of butterflies
 With her feet on the ground
 And her head in the clouds
 Well go  get your shovel
 And we'll  dig a deep hole
 To bury  the castle
bury  the castle
 (Repeat)
 Fm--A/C#-D-A--E-D- x2
 Ba da ba da ba
 So one day he found  her crying
Coiled  up on the dirty ground
 Her prince finally came  to save  her
 And the rest you can figure out
 But it was a trick
And  the clock  struck 12
 Well make  sure  to build your
 house brick  by boring brick
 or the wolves gonna blow it down
 With her feet on the ground
 And her head in the clouds
 (Repeat Chorus)
Bm--D--A--E--
 Well you built up a world of magic
 Because your real life is tragic
 Yeah you built up
 a world of magic
 If it's not  real
 You can't see it with your hand
 You can't feel it with your heart
 And I  won't believe it
 Cause if it's  true
 You can see it with your eyes
 Even in the dark
 And that's where  I want to be yeah
 (Repeat Chorus)

 5.) Turn It Off
 Key:
 Chords used:
--------  x2
 I scraped my knees
 while I  was praying
 And found a demon
in  my  safest haven
Seems  like  it's getting harder
to  believe  in anything
 Than just  to get lost  in
all  my selfish thoughts
 I wanna know what it'd  be like
 To find perfection in  the pride
 To see nothing in  the light
 But turn it off  in all my
 spite  in all my spite
 I'll turn it off
 And the worst part is
 before it gets  any better
 We're  headed for  a cliff
 Then in the freefall
 I will realize
I'm  better off when
I  hit the bottom
 The tragedy it seems
 I'm ending
 I'm watching everyone  I looked
 up to break and bending
 We're taking shortcuts
 and false illusions
Just  to come out  the hero
 Well I can see behind  the curtain
 The wheels are cranking turning
 It's all wrong the way we're working
 Towards a goal  that's
nonexistent it's  nonexistent
 But we just keep believing
 (Repeat Chorus)
--------  x2
 I wanna know what it'd  be like
 To find perfection in  the pride
 To see nothing in  the light
 But turn it off  in all my
 spite  in all my spite
 I'll turn it off
 Just turn it off
 
 Again  again

 Key:
 Chords used:
 B--Fm-E-- x2
When  I was younger I
 saw my daddy cry
 And curse at the wind
 He broke  his own heart and
 I watched as he tried
 To reassemble it
 And my  momma swore that she
 would never let herself  forget
 And that  was the day
 that I promised
 I'd never sing of love
 if it does not exist
 But darling
You  are the only exception
You  are the only  exception
You  are the only exception
You  are the only  exception
 B--
 Well maybe  I know somewhere
 deep in my soul
 That love never lasts
 And we've  got to find other
 ways to make it alone
 Or keep a straight face
 And I've  always lived like
 this keeping a comfortable
Distance  And up
 until now i swored
 to myself that I'm
content  with loneliness
 Because none  of it was
 ever worth the
 risk Well...

 9.) Where The Lines Overlap
 Key:
 Chords used:
E--A-B x2
 Give me attention
 I need  it now
So  much suspence
 To measure  it out out  loud
Chasing  patterns
 over personal  maps
Making  pictures where
 the line overlap
Where  the lines overlap
No  one is as lucky as  us
 Oo not a given  or nobody won
No  one  is as lucky as  us
 Is as lucky as  us
Falling  over
 and tell  me how
 Well you've  come so far
Never  making a single sound
 I'm not  used to it
 But I  can learn
 There's nothing  to it
 I've never  been happier
Never  been happier
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
 Now I've  got a feeling
 if I sing  this loud enough
 You will sing  it back to me
I've  got a feeling if I
say  this loud enough
 You will sing  it back to me
I've  got a feeling
I've  got a feeling
 That you will sing  it back to me
 You will sing  it back to me
No  one is as lucky as  us
 Oo not a given  or nobody won
No  one  is as lucky as  us
 Is as lucky as  us
 Is as lucky as  us

 10.) Misguided Ghosts
 Key:
 Chords used:
 Plucking
 F--G-Em- x2
 (1,2,3,4)
I'm  going away for a while
 But I'll be back don't
 try and follow me
 Cause I'll return  as
 soon as possible
 You see  I'm trying
 to find my place
 But it might not be here
 where I feel safe
 We all  learn to make mistakes
 And run
 From them  from them
 With no direction
Run  from them  from them
 With no conviction
 Cause I'm just one
of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no road
 In fact they follow  me
 And we  just go in circles
 But now  I'm told that this life
 And pain is just a simple compromise
 So we can  get what we want out of it
 Will someone  care to classify
 A broken heart and twisted minds?
 So I  can find someone  to rely on
 And run  To
them  to them
 Full speed  ahead
 Oh you  are
not  Useless
 We are just
Misguided ghosts
Travelling endlessly
 The ones we trusted the
most Pushed us far away
 And there's no one road
 And we should not
be the  same
 But I'm just a ghost
 And still they e--cho me
 They echo  me in circles
 11.) All I Wanted
 Key:
 Chords used:
 D--Fm--Bm--A/C#--x2
 Think of me when you're
out  when you're out there
 I'll beg you nice from my knees
 And when the world treats
 you way  too fairly
 Well it's a shame I'm a dream
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 Distortion
 D--Fm--Bm--A/C#-- x2
 I think I'll pace my
 apartment  a few times
 And fall asleep on the couch
 And wake up early to black
 and white re-runs
 That escape from my mouth
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 D--Fm--Bm--A/C#-- x2
 I could follow you
to  the beginning
 Just to relive the start
 And maybe then we'd
 remember  to slow down
 At all of our favorite parts
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 All I wanted  was you
 12.) Teenagers
 Key:
 Chords used:
E--A-B- x4
 Gonna go on  living
like  I never met  you
 And it'll feel wrong at first
 but I think I  can forget you
 Ignore the fact that we sleep
 no more than three  feet apart
 I feel you now you're all
 around me underneath  me
 You're all  around me underneath  me
 Well how  was I to know
 That what we carved  in stone
 Would be so temporary
 Well how was I to know
 That my first crack  at love
 Would not be the last
 Won't be  the last
 It's in the air now  bitter
tears  and broken hearts
 We're teenagers  we count the
years  we think we're smart
 But we're not we don't  know anything
 So don't ask me where I'll go
 Cause frankly I  don't know
 And I don't give a shit
 Why must we all make sense
 And I just won't  make sense
 For once I'm just gonna live
 I'm just gonna live
 Cm--E-B
 Teenagers we don't
 know anything
 Teenagers we don't
 know anything oh
 Well how was I to know
 That what we carved  in stone
 Would be so temporary
 (we must go  on)
 Why must we all make sense
 And I just won't  make sense
 For once I'm just gonna
 live I'm just gonna live
