The Escapist

Intro: B E  x4 



[Verso 1]

B 
  Last night I had to 
        E 
drink myself to sleep 
B 
  A lonely escape but 
   F# 
it seems so easy 
B 
  I take these pills at 
         E 
night to calm my nerves 
B 
  Just give me anything 
   F# 
to pull me under 



[Refrão]

B             F# 
  I know it's wrong 
I know I keep poor 
E     B           F# 
habits The more I run 
the more these days 
     E 
will happen Apologies 
             B    E B E 
are lost for words 



[Verso 2]
 
B 
  The clock is laughing 
      E 
in my face again 
B 
  Hands on my chest 
        F# 
staring at my ceiling 
B 
  Turn off my mind and 
         E 
stop the world outside 
B 
  I drown it out until 
  F# 
I have no feeling 



[Refrão]

B             F# 
  I know it's wrong 
I know I keep poor 
E     B           F# 
habits The more I run 
the more these days 
     E 
will happen Apologies 
             B    E B E 
are lost for words 



[Ponte]

    G#m       F# 
And maybe the world 
            E    B E 
will stop tonight 
    G#m       F# 
And maybe the world 
            E 
will stop tonight 
B 
  These conversations 
E 
  are fucking killing me 
B                E 
  I'm an escapist and 
nothing comforts me 
   G#m       F# 
So maybe the world 
            E 
will stop tonight 
    G#m       F# 
And maybe the world 
            E 
will stop tonight
