 I never  knew
 I never  knew that everything  was falling  through
 That everyone  I knew  was waiting on  a queue
 To turn  and run  when all I needed was  the truth
 But that's how it's got  to be
 It's coming  down to nothing  more than apathy
 I'd rather  run the other  way than stay  and see
 The smoke  and who's  still standing  when  it clears
Everyone  knows  I'm in
Over  my head,  over  my head
 With eight  seconds  left in overtime
 She's on  your mind,  she's on  your  mind
 Let's rearrange
 I wish  you were a stranger  I could disengage
 To say  that we agree  and then never  change
 Soften  a bit  until we all  just get  along
 But that's disregard
 You find  another friend  and you discard
 As you lose  the argument  in a cable  car
 Hanging  above  as the canyon  comes  between
Everyone  knows  I'm in
Over  my head,  over  my head
 With eight  seconds  left in overtime
 She's on  your mind,  she's on  your  mind
 And suddenly  I become  a part  of your past
 I'm becoming  the part  that don't last
 I'm losing  you  and its effortless
Without  a sound we lose sight  of the ground
 In the throw  around
 Never thought  that you wanted  to bring  it down
 I won't let  it go down  till we torch  it ourselves
 Everyone knows I'm in
Over  my head, over  my head
 With eight  seconds  left in overtime
 She's on  your mind,  she's on  your  mind...
Everyone  knows...  she's on  your mind...
Everyone  knows I'm in  over my  head
My  head I'm over  my...
Everyone  knows  I'm in
Over  my head,  over  my head
 With eight  seconds  left in overtime
 She's on  your mind,  she's on  your  mind
 4X
 End on C.

Tuning: E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (low to high)

I n[C]ever knew
I ne[Em]ver knew that ev[G]erything was f[C]alling through
That eve[Em]ryone I kn[G]ew was waiting o[C]n a queue
To t[Em]urn and r[G]un when all I ne[Am]eded [Em]was the tr[D]uth
But that's how it's g[C]ot to be
It's co[Em]ming down to not[G]hing more than a[C]pathy
I'd ra[Em]ther run the ot[G]her way than st[C]ay and see
The sm[Em]oke and wh[G]o's still st[Am]anding w[Em]hen it cle[D]ars

[C]Every[G]one k[Em]nows I'm i[G]n
[C]Over my h[G]ead, o[Em]ver my h[D]ead
With ei[C]ght s[G]econds left in [Em]overtim[G]e
She's [Am]on your m[G]ind, she's [Em]on yo[D]ur mi[C]nd

[Em]  [G]  [C]
[Em]  [G]

Let's rea[C]rrange
I w[Em]ish you were a s[G]tranger I could d[C]isengage
To s[Em]ay that we ag[G]ree and then ne[C]ver change
Soft[Em]en a [G]bit until we [Am]all just g[Em]et alo[D]ng
But that's d[C]isregard
You f[Em]ind another f[G]riend and you d[C]iscard
As you l[Em]ose the argu[G]ment in a c[C]able car
Hangi[Em]ng ab[G]ove as the ca[Am]nyon c[Em]omes be[D]tween

[C]Every[G]one k[Em]nows I'm i[G]n
[C]Over my h[G]ead, o[Em]ver my h[D]ead
With ei[C]ght s[G]econds left in [Em]overtim[G]e
She's [Am]on your m[G]ind, she's [Em]on yo[D]ur mi[C]nd

And sud[C]denly I bec[Em]ome a par[G]t of your pa[C]st
I'm bec[Em]oming the pa[G]rt that don't l[C]ast
I'm lo[Em]sing y[G]ou and its ef[Am]fortless

[C]Without a sound we lose s[Em]ight of the gr[G]ound
In the th[C]row around
Never tho[Em]ught that you wa[G]nted to br[C]ing it down
I won't [Em]let it go d[G]own till we t[Am]orch it ourselves

[G]         [G/f#]
Everyone knows I'm in
[Em7]Over my head, ov[C]er my head
With ei[C]ght s[G]econds left in [Em]overt[G]ime
She's [Am]on your m[G]ind, she's [Em]on y[D]our m[C]ind... [Em]
[G]Everyone kn[C]ows..[Em].   she's o[G]n your m[C]ind...
[Em]Everyone knows I'm i[G]n over m[C]y head
[Em]My head   I'm ov[G]er my...

[C]Every[G]one k[Em]nows I'm i[G]n
[C]Over my h[G]ead, o[Em]ver my h[D]ead
With ei[C]ght s[G]econds left in [Em]overtim[G]e
She's [Am]on your m[G]ind, she's [Em]on yo[D]ur mi[C]nd

[Em]   [G]    [C]   4X

End on C.
