Twenty One Pilots - Addict With A Pen

[intro]
G D Em C

[verse]
   G                        D
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
   Em                     C           G
I know I haven't been the best of sons
G
Hello, I've been traveling in the
D
desert of my mind
    Em                C
And I haven't found a drop...
    G        D
Of life.
               Em        C
I haven't found a drop...Of you

                G   D
I haven't found a drop...
                  Em  C
I haven't found a drop...
    G    D     Em  C
Of water
      G  D     Em  C       G D
Waaaaaater            Ooohh
Em   C
ahh...

[verse 2]
G
I tried desperately to run through the sand
      D
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
 Em
'Cause it's all that I have,
and it's all that I need
         C
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me
G
But I tried my best and all that I can
         D
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
    C
The sand will slow me down,
and the water will drain
[verse 3]
G
I'm just begin dramatic, in fact
                D
I'm only at it again

As an addict with a pen

Who's addicted to wind
       Em
As it blows me back and forth

Mindless, spineless, and pretend
    C
Of course I'll be here again

See you tomorrow
                     G
But it's the end of today

End of my ways

As a walking denial
    D
My trial was filed

As a crazy suicidal headcase
         Em
But you specialize in dying
                             C
You hear me screaming, "Father!"

And I'm lying here just crying
                       G     D   Em  C
So wash me with your water

[verse 4]
    G     D       Em    C
Waaaaaaater
G                              D

Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
Em                             C        G D
And I, I haven't found a drop...of life!
                  Em              C
I haven't found a drop...of You!
                  G               D
I haven't found a drooooooop...
                  Em              C
I haven't found a drooooooop...
  G        D Em C
Of water...
