[Verse 1]
C#m  E                  C#m
     Eyes on the screen
E                 A               E                    C#m
We have all the information now, but what does it mean?
          E                C#m E               A E
[Shannon] All this progress;   hope is with us;  stretching above

C#m  E                  C#m
     Reason€'™s a tease
E                 A                  E                       C#m
Drank up all that hemlock, here I am just reading the leaves
          E                   C#m E                  A E
[Shannon] There's no followers;   there's no compass;  a dozen clouds

C#m  E                  C#m
     And left wondering:
E                    A                      E
what happened to the life we lost, that got lost in the living?


[Chorus 1]
    C#m      E                A
And all this fiction makes me nervous
E                C#m                  E           A                    [stop]
Turns out it was blood spilled on the canvas we admired just like some Rorschach painting


[Verse 2]

A E

C#m     E                 C#m   E          A                 E
    The film in your brain - it edits to remember, keeps the figure in the frame

C#m E

C#m      E             C#m               E                A            E
    It's a sacrificial violence, all those passed over in silence then cast out with the blame

C#m E
C#m E
A E

C#m     E                       C#m            E                A          E
    And I'm trying to stay sane  -  meanwhile, the river of forgetfulness, it starts spilling 
the banks

Bm A F#m G


[Chorus 2]
C#m           A E
    Caught in a lie
               C#m                     A       E          C#m   A
and instead of fessing up, we'd sooner just go out of our hea - ds
F#m                     C#m
I'€™ve been holding up my end
B                  F#                     B                 C#m
when I should have doubled down on my own atom bomb shelter instead

[Outro]
C#m        E             A
   Oh, oh, how you gonna hold on?
E             C#m
How you gonna hold on?
E             A          E
How you gonna hold on to every thing?

C#m        E             A
   Oh, oh, how you gonna hold on?
E             C#m
How you gonna hold on?
E             A          E
How you gonna hold on to your memory?

C#m        E             A
   Oh, oh, how you gonna hold on?
E             C#m
How you gonna hold on?
E             A                E
How you gonna hold on when you know that you can’t?
