[Intro]
C7 C C7 C C7 C C7
■  ■ ■  ■ ■  ■ ■ 
      C7  
These days
                                       C
I say goodbye without opening my mouth ■
C7        C                                             
■  I just stare into the distance 'til you figure it out
         C   
'cause I feel


[Verse]
                 F      C    
As invested as a border guard
      C                                               
Who's seen too many people leaving to take it to heart
        C            
I'm too tired to talk
        C                   
I'm too tired to end the war
      C                                     
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore
           C7   
And my own palms
                             C7             
Each one's a trigger and I'm holding the gun
       C7                                              
Like a perp frozen in your headlights who forgot to run
        C       
And I'm overcome
                                       C7 C
By the voices multiplying in the crowd ■  ■
                                                                  C7  
That's been swelling in between my ears and growing frighteningly loud
C                      
■ I'm too tired to talk
                         C  
I'm too tired to end the war
      C                                     
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore


[Chorus]
                 Ab   
I'm too tired to start
                        C7   
I can't bring you up to speed
                                           C      
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
F Am                 Fmaj7
■ Though I'm feeling fine 
D                  D7  
■ Roughly half the time
Am                 F   
■  There's a fatal flaw
Am       Am7     D      C
■  In my heart's design ■


[Bridge]

[Chorus]
        C7       Ab  
I'm too tired to talk
        Ab                  
I'm too tired to end the war
                            F        C       C7 C
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore ■  ■
        C7    C       
I'm too tired to start
Ab                         C7   
■  I can't bring you up to speed
                             F             C      
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
                                        F  C      
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
