I wanna run from the apathy
from the questioning tongues
                                 G
and eyes that just won't come off
Bb
and get a job in an industry
where a smile's not required
                                    G
and the complaints are always the same
Bb   
cause baby you must be so fed up
with a boy that keeps telling you
                    G
how much good he's gonna do
Bb
when all that is happening 'round here
is happening in here
and nothing gets out there
               G
except for the truth
Em         H
it's up to you
           C         Am    C 
cause I'm absolutely numb
Em       
it's up to you
           Am  C     D
cause I'm absolutely numb

Bb
I've been adrift on the silver surf
and I've paddled ahead of the fear
                G
that I'd fall behind
Bb
I took drinks from the glitter smurfs
and their company dads who never
                 G
stood by in the crying
Bb
cause no one does and nobody ever will
there is only space for one
                   
and surely he gets killed
          G
when the engine seizes up
Bb
you might call it existential crisis
I simply call it the bravery
    G
of emptiness
   
Em         H
it's up to you
           C         Am    C 
cause I'm absolutely numb
Em       
it's up to you
           Am  C     D
cause I'm absolutely numb
