 I married in the sun,  (tell me where, tell me where)
 against the stone of buildings built  before
 you and I were born.  (start again, start again)
 To my heart, confusion grows against.
 The muscles fought so long  (fought so long)
 to control against
 the pull of one  magnet  to another  magnet  to another magnet.
Now  we look up in (tell me who, tell me who)
 to the eyes of bullies breaking backs.
 They seem so very tough.  (it's a lie; it's a lie)
 They seem so very scared  of us.
 I look into the mirror  (look into)
 for evil that just does  not exist.
 I don't see what they see.  (tell them that; tell them that)
 Try to control the pull of one  magnet
 to another  magnet,
 to another  magnet,
 to another  magnet  to another.

I  miss you now,
 I guess like I should've  missed you then.
My  body moves,
 like curtain waving in  and out of wind;
 in and out of windows.
I  can't untangle,
 what I feel and what  would matter most.
I  can't close an eye, I can't close an eyelid.
Now  there's just no point reaching out for me.
 In the dark,  I'm just no good at giving relief.
 In the dark,  it won't be easy to find relief.
 And I'm not proud  that nothing will seem easy about  me.
 But I promise this:  I won't go my whole life,
 telling you I don't  need.
 But I promise this:  I won't go my whole life,
 telling you I don't  need.
I'll  tell you now,
 I guess like I should've  told you then.
The  thunder moves,
 like damn drawers slamming  in my frame,
 slamming in my framework.
I  can't untangle,
 what I know and what should  matter most.
I  can't close an eye, I can't close an eyelid.
Now  there's just no point reaching out for you.
 In the dark,  I'm just no good at giving relief.
 In the dark,  it won't be easy to find relief.
 And I'm not proud  that nothing will seem easy about  me.
 But I promise this:  I won't go my whole life,
 telling you I don't  need.
 But I promise this:  I won't go my whole life,
 telling you I don't  need.
 But I promise this:  I won't go my whole life,
 telling you I don't  need.
 But I promise this:  I won't go my whole life,
 telling you I don't  need.

 I listened in Yes  I'm guilty
 of this you  should know this
 I broke down and wrote  you back
 before you had  a chance to
 Forget forgotten I  am moving
 fast this giving  notice
 I have to go Yes  I know  the feeling
now  you're leaving
 Calm down,  I'm calling  you to say
 I'm capsized,  staring  on the edge  of safe
 Calm down,  I'm calling  back to say
 I'm home now,  I'm coming all  around
 I'm coming  around
 Nobody likes  to but I
 really like to cry
 Nobody likes  me Maybe if I cry
 Fm--C--
 Spelled out your name  and lists the reasons
 Pain of heart  Don't call me back
 I imagine  you when I  was distant Non-insistent
 I follow suit  and laid out on  my back Imagine  that
 A million hours  left to think  of you and think  of that
 (Repeat Refrain and Chorus)

 Encircle me,  I need  to be,  taken down

 Nobody likes  me
 Maybe if I cry
Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody
Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody
 Encircle me,  I need  to be,  taken down

 TRACK FIVE
 ARE YOU TEN YEARS AGO?
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you show, you show)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you go, you go)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you show, you show)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you go, you go)
 I am up and doing circles
 I collapse
 I might stay out longer then
 I left  the light on for you then
 If you show, you show
 If you show you show
 When I feel  like this
 When I get so into myself
 I lose track of where I'm going
 then lose track of how to get going again
 Feel myself slowing  down
 Fell myself turning round
 Is this taken?
 When I feel  like this
 When I get so sick
 Of myself, where are you going  then
 Without me and not knowing then
 That we’re slowing down
 You’ve got to turn right around
 And tell me that I'm taken then
Tell  me if I'm yours
 You collapse
 The pressure of this life is so
 you can't  be held accountable
 if you go, you go
 if you go  you go
 when you act  like this
 when you get so sick
 of yourself the whole world falls away
 in sense I feel like I
 have only missed that I'm here  again
 the feeling that I'm clear again
 I'm not taken
 When you act  like this
 When you get so into yourself
 I lose sight of common  goals
 And letting go so I can be
 All alone
Feel  myself going slow
 Feel myself letting go
 Not taken
 Not feeling like I'm yours
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you show, you show)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you go, you go)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you show, you show)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (if you go, you go)
 I am up and doing circles
 I collapse
 This life looks like a sentence
 Though a constant  game of falling short
 If you know, you know
 If you know you know
 When I feel  like this
 When I'm just so sick
 Of feeling less than perfect
 Isn't right  for me
 I never fight to see
 if coming clean would get to me
 I feel  myself holding back
 I feel the pressure
 It's finally back
 I'm taken
 When you felt  like this
 When you saw it all come crashing down
 Subtle but not underground
 I was there I saw the signs, I saw unfair
 and so I write  to you through other means
 I let myself finally feel
Taken,  like I was yours
 I'm taken,  I am yours (I feel sick)
 I am up and doing circles
 I taken,  I am yours (I feel)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (I feel sick)
 I am up and doing circles
 I taken,  I am yours (I feel)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (I feel sick)
 I am up and doing circles
 I taken,  I am yours (I feel)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken,  I am yours (I feel sick)
 I am up and doing circles
 I taken,  I am yours (I feel)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken;  I am yours (I feel)
 I am up and doing circles
 I'm taken;  I am yours (I feel)
 I am up and doing circles
 I collapse
 I collapse
 I collapse

Build  a wall of books between us in our bed
repeat,  repeat the words i know we both said
relax  into the need we get so comfortable
remember  when i was so strange and likeable
i  just want back in  your  head
i  just want back in  your  head
I'm  not unfaithful  but I'll  stray
When  I get a little scared
When  I  get  a  little  scared
When  I  get  a  little
When  I jerk away from holding hands with  you
I  know these habits hurt important parts of  you
remember  when how sweet and unexplainable
nothing  like this person unloveable
i  just want back in  your  head
i  just want back in  your  head
I'm  not unfaithful but  I'll  stray
When  I  get  a  little  scared
When  I  get  a  little  scared
When  I  get  a  little
Run,  run,  run

I  took the train  back, back  to where I came  from.
I  took it all  alone, it’s been  so long,  I know.
Imagine me  there: my heart  asleep with no  air.
Begging,  “Ocean,  please, help  me drown these memories.”
All  I need to hear  is that you’re not  mine;
 You’re not  mine.
I’m  moving east,  then, somewhere  far away  from
the  sight of my  hands; the sight  of me not moving.
You  can’t just hop  a plane and come  and visit me  again.
I  claim it’s in  my head and I  regret offering.
All  I need to hear  is that you’re not  mine;
 You’re not  mine.
All  I want to hear  is that you’re not  mine;
 You’re not  mine.
You  take a second, take a second;
 Take a year, take a year.
 You took me out and took me in  and told me all of this and
Then  you take a moment, take a moment;
 Take a year, take a year.
 You help me out, I listen in,  you taught me all of this and
All  I want to hear  is that you’re not  mine;
 You’re not  mine.
All  I want to hear  is that you’re not  mine;
 You’re not  mine.
All  I need to hear  is that you’re not  mine;
 You’re not  mine.
All  I want to hear  is that you’re not  mine;
 You’re not  mine.

Oh,  and I’m feeling directionless, yes,
 But that’s to  be expected, and I know that best.
In  creeps the morning and another day’s lost
 You’ve just  written wondering, and I reply fast
All  you need to save  me.
All  you need to save  me:
Call.
 And I’ll be curled on  the floor
 Hiding out from it all
 And I won’t take any other call
I  feel like a fool so I’m going to stop troubling you.
Buried  in my yard; a letter to send to you.
 And if  I forget, or God forbid, die too soon,
Hope  that you’ll hear me, know that I wrote to you
All  you need to say  to me.
All  you need to say  to me,
 Is “Call.”
 And I’ll be curled on  the floor
 Hiding out from it all.
 And I won’t take any other call.

Tell  me that you know another way to get it done
 It’s not me,  or how I would be,
 But it’s a different  situation, a different situation
 You lay awake  in the night just staring  at the ceiling above
 Pulling pieces  of it out is such a waste  of time
 Keep on fighting  to remember this
 That nothing  is lost in the end
 When you burn, burn, burn  your life down
Get  me to the door, out of bed, on the track,
 I’m not sure  of starting over
 It’s a different  situation, a different situation.
 You wake  up in the night and refuse  to be afraid of it now
 Unfolding pieces  of it faster, don’t you waste  your time.
 You’ve been planning  to remember this,
 And nothing  will be lost in the end.
 When you burn, burn, burn  your life down
 When you burn, burn, burn  your life down
 I drive  around the block and I’m not looking to my right
 I feel the glass  against my cheek and I can’t see you in the light.
 I break  my heart around this; break  my heart around this.
 I drive  around the block and I’m not looking to my right
 I feel the glass  against my cheek and I can’t see you in the light.
 I break  my heart around this; break  my heart around this pole.

 TRACK FIFTEEN
 CALL IT OFF
I  won't regret  saying this
 This thing  that I'm saying
Is  it better than keeping  my mouth shut
That  goes without saying
Call, break  it  off
Call, break  my own  heart
Maybe  I would have been  something you'd be good  at
Maybe  you would have been  something I'd be good  at
But  now we'll never know
 I won't  be sad, but in case  I go there
Everyday,  to make  myself feel bad
 There's a chance that I'll start  to wonder
 If this was the thing to do
I  won't be out  long
 But I still think  it better if
You  take your time  coming over here
I  think that's for  the best
Call, break  it  off
Call, break  my own  heart
Maybe  I would have been  something you'd be good  at
Maybe  you would have been  something I'd be good  at
But  now we'll never know
 I won't  be sad, but in case  I go there
Everyday,  to make  myself feel bad
 There's a chance that I'll start  to wonder
 if this was the thing to do
 I'll start  to wonder  if this was the thing to do

TRACK FIVE
ARE YOU TEN YEARS AGO?

I'm [A]taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [G]taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [F]taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [G]taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles

I coll[A]apse
I might stay out longer then
I [G]left the light on for you then
If you show, you show
If you show you [F]show     [G]
When I [A]feel like this
When I get so into myself
I lose track of where I'm [G]going
then lose track of how to get going again
Feel myself [F]slowing down
Fell myself turning round
Is this [G]taken?

When I [A]feel like this
When I get so sick
Of myself, where are you [G]going then
Without me and not knowing then
That we’re slowing [F]down
You’ve got to turn right around
And tell me that I'm taken then
[G]Tell me if I'm yours

You col[A]lapse
The pressure of this life is so
you [G]can't be held accountable
if you go, you go
if you [F]go you go      [G]
when you [A]act like this
when you get so sick
of yourself the whole world falls a[G]way
in sense I feel like I
have only missed that I'm [F]here again
the feeling that I'm clear again
I'm not t[G]aken

When you [A]act like this
When you get so into yourself
I lose sight of [G]common goals
And letting go so I can be
All alone
[F]Feel myself going slow
Feel myself letting go
Not [G]taken
Not feeling like I'm yours

I'm [A]taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [G]taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [F]taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [G]taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles

I [A]collapse
This life looks like a sentence
Though a [G]constant game of falling short
If you know, you know
If you know you [F]know   [G]
When I [A]feel like this
When I'm just so sick
Of feeling less than perfect
Isn't [G]right for me
I never fight to see
if coming clean would get to me
I [F]feel myself holding back
I feel the pressure
It's finally back
I'm [G]taken

When you [A]felt like this
When you saw it all come crashing down
Subtle but not [G]underground
I was there I saw the signs, I saw unfair
and so I [F]write to you through other means
I let myself finally feel
[G]Taken, like I was yours

I'm [A]taken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I t[G]aken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm t[F]aken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I t[G]aken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [A]taken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I ta[G]ken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm t[F]aken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I t[G]aken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles

I'm t[A]aken; I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm [G]taken; I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I [F]collapse
I collapse
I co[G]llapse

I [G]drive around the block and I’m not looking to my right

Flew home, back to where we met
Stayed inside I was so upset
Cooked up a plan so good except
I was all alone, you were all I had
Love you, you were all I had
Love me, I was yours right?

INTRO/VERSE 1:

(The riff in F5 can be played in several ways. I just wrote down one that I liked, but
can strum any string as long as it follows the same chord and sounds good.)
   [Am]                           [F5]
  “Dark...”                    “You can’t come soon enough...”

(Strumming in a fast tempo, not following a riff anymore)
    [C]                       [F5]
    “So conned...”    “...to me too...”

[Am]Hide
Out from the ones you [F5]know will love you

(In this part the chords are the same as before, but some notes are switched, so that
match the riff heard in the background.
Strum quickly)

TRACK FIFTEEN
CALL IT OFF

[G]I won't reg[Em]ret saying this
This [G]thing that I'm [Em]saying
[G]Is it better than [Em]keeping my mouth shut
[G]That goes without [Em]saying

[D]Call, [G]break[D] it[Em] off
[D]Call, [G]break[D] my o[Em]wn heart
[C]Maybe I would have [G]been something you'd be g[D]ood at
[C]Maybe you would have [G]been something I'd be g[D]ood at

[C]But now we'll never [D]know
I [G]won't be sad, but in [Em]case I go there
[C]Everyd[D]ay, to [G]make myself feel [Em]bad
There's a chance that I'll [C]start to [D]wonder
If this was the thing to [G]do

[G]I won't be [Em]out long
But I still [G]think it better [Em]if
[G]You take your [Em]time coming over here
[G]I think that's [Em]for the best

[D]Call, [G]break[D] it[Em] off
[D]Call, [G]break[D] my o[Em]wn heart
[C]Maybe I would have [G]been something you'd be g[D]ood at
[C]Maybe you would have [G]been something I'd be g[D]ood at

[C]But now we'll never [D]know
I [G]won't be sad, but in [Em]case I go there
[C]Everyd[D]ay, to [G]make myself feel [Em]bad
There's a chance that I'll [C]start to [D]wonder
if this was the thing to [G]do
I'll [C]start to [D]wonder if this was the thing to [G]do
