Lyrics

Spend all your time (Em)wait ing

I need some dis (Em)trac tion,

oh, es (G)beau ti ful re lease.

It’s (D)Mem o ry (G)seep from my be (A)veins.

Let me be (Em)emp ty,

oh, and (G)weight less, and may be I’ll (D)find some (Bm7)peace to night

Fly a (F#m)way

May you (D)find

(Asus)some com fort here.
