 I couldn't find a name for it.
 Palm Mute All Chords
 I could catch  up to - to where  you are
 see if we  can make it right
 if I thought meeting  you somewhere in  the dark
 was gonna shed  any new light
 Oh we'd sit  around, we'd talk  awhile
 Make polite  excuses
 But the cat has  my tounge, i'm not saying  much
 'Cause i get shy  around bullshit
 Brief Interlude: Let chords ring
 Palm mute again
 My new time  piece is watching ice  melt
 Down the bottom  of my glass
 And i love  to watch, when fuses  burn
 Down towards  their future plans
 gets me thinking  bout - it's time to empty  out
 these pockets  of their idle hands
 and sing la  da dadida da  da, dada da
Lock  all the doors, pull the phone from the wall, run and  hide
 (  up 2 frets)
 Oh I used to be such a nice guy
 Brief Interlude: Let chords ring
 Maybe clarity  will creep  up on me
 and reset  my senses like a clock
 and you'll convince  me that your reality
 is better  than the one that I’ve got
 you'll give me a second  chance at my second  chance
 and we will laugh  about my near miss
 and the good lord will  reward my ignorance
 with a little bliss
 And I'll see  a welcome face  in the mirror  that I don't
 
Recogni-----ise
 (  shifted 2 frets up)
 Oh I used to be such a nice guy
 but now the details  are vague, it's so strange,  like a
 previous li  – i – i - ife
 (  shifted 2 frets up)
 Oh I used to be such a nice guy
 But I don't know  when to admit that I'm lost  -
 when to stubbornly  insist that I'm not
   (  shifted 2 frets up)
 Oh dear bless every thought in your thoughtful head
 – *  -
la  da dadida da  da, dadada
la  da dadida da  da, dadada
la  da dadida da  da, dadada
la  da dadida da  da, dadada,  oh
la  da dadida da  da, dadada

[G1] [G2] [G3]

Palm Mute All Chords

I could [Bm]catch up to - to [Cm]where you are

see if [G3]we can make it r[Em]ight

if I thought [Bm]meeting you somewhere [Cm]in the dark

was gonna [G3]shed any new [Em]light

Oh we'd [Bm]sit around, we'd [Cm]talk awhile

Make po[G3]lite excus[Em]es

But the cat [Bm]has my tounge, i'm not [Cm]saying much

'Cause i get [G3]shy around bullshi[Em]t

Brief Interlude: Let chords ring

[Bm]   [Cm]    [G3]

Palm mute again

My new [Bm]time piece is watching [Cm]ice melt

Down the [G3]bottom of my [Em]glass

And i [Bm]love to watch, when [Cm]fuses burn

Down t[G3]owards their future [Em]plans

gets me [Bm]thinking bout - it's time to [Cm]empty out

these [G3]pockets of their idle [Em]hands

and sing [Bm]la da dadida [Cm]da da, dada d[G]a    [D]      [G]

[C]Lock all the doors, pull the phone from the wall, run and[Em] hid[G]e

[C]  [Em]     [C]                     ([C] up 2 frets)
Oh I      used to be such a nice guy

Brief Interlude: Let chords ring

[Bm]   [Cm]    [G3]

Maybe [Bm]clarity will [Cm]creep up on me

and re[G3]set my senses like a [Em]clock

and you'll con[Gm]vince me that your [Cm]reality

is [G3]better than the one that I’ve [Em]got

you'll give me a [Bm]second chance at my [Cm]second chance

and we will [G3]laugh about my near [Em]miss

and the good lord [Bm]will reward my [Cm]ignorance

with a little [G]bliss [D]

And I'll [C]see a welcome [C]face in the [C]mirror that I don't

     [Em]     [G]
Recogni-----ise

[C]  [Em]     [C]                      ([C] shifted 2 frets up)
Oh I      used to be such a nice guy

but now the [C]details are vague, it's so [C]strange, like a
previous [Em]li – i – i - [G]ife

[C]  [Em]       [C]                      ([C] shifted 2 frets up)
Oh I        used to be such a nice guy

But I don't [C]know when to admit that I'm [Em]lost -

when to [C]stubbornly insist that I'm [Em]not

        [Em]                                     ([C] shifted 2 frets up)
Oh dear bless every thought in your thoughtful head

[Bm] – [Cm]* - [G3]

[Bm]la da dadida [Cm]da da, dadad[G]a

[Bm]la da dadida [Cm]da da, dadad[G]a   [D]

[Bm]la da dadida [Cm]da da, dadad[G]a

[Bm]la da dadida [Cm]da da, dadad[G]a, o[D]h

[Bm]la da dadida [Cm]da da, dadad[G]a
