Em                  Cmaj7              G   /F# /B  Cmaj7/G
I sit here shooting blanks out at emptiness
Em/C#                     Cmaj7              G  /F# /B  Cmaj7/G
ain't nothin really wanna kill, maybe time I guess
Em        D/F#     C*
I sit and spin the world on it's flip side
Em           D/F#         A9  C*
and I listen backward for meanings

stickman

Em              Cmaj7                    G   /F# /B  Cmaj7/G
I draw from memory, the stillest kind of life
Em/C#             Cmaj7                             G  /F# /B  Cmaj7/G
I cut slide after slide, mental pain's the sharpest knife
Em             D/F#    C*
project what's done so everyone can see 
Em         D/F#    A9  C*
the severe color reversal
[transition]
     and I'm a    
G    /F# /B Em             D      A/C#
stickman in frames that go one by one
              C                   /B  Am
if I stood it up you'd see I'm on the run 
             /G   B7/F#              A
from some monster off-screen killing suns
                C                   G   /F# /B  Cmaj7/G
lonely makes me blue, envy turns me green
Em/C#               Cmaj7                G  /F# /B  Cmaj7/G
hate might paint me red if I load my magazine
Em           D/F#          C*
but not just now when it's easy to stay clean
Em         D/F#               A9  C*
and no one knows where you're bleeding
[transition]
   and I'm a

stickman
G    /F#  /B  Em*  Em7/D  Em/C#  Cmaj7 /B
a sick man
      G    /F#  /B  Em*  Em7/D  Em/C#  Cmaj7 /B /G /F#  Em
I'm a stickman
