[Intro]
G Am C
G Am F

[Verse 1]
F                          Am
Dear reader, if it feels like a trap
            G
You're already in one
F                    Am
Dear reader, get out your map
          G
Pick somewhere and just run
F                    Am
Dear reader, burn all the files
     G
Desert all your past lives
F                           Am
And if you don't recognize yourself
G
That means you did it right

[Chorus]
G                                                   Am                 F
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart
G                                                   Am                 F
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart

[Verse 2]
F                    Am
Dear reader, bend when you can
G
Snap when you have to
F                           Am
Dear reader, you don't have to answer
G
Just 'cause they asked you (you should find another)
F                         Am                      G
Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries

Is your secrets
F                                    Am
Dear reader, when you aim at the devil
G
Make sure you don't miss

[Chorus]
G                                                  Am                    F
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart
G                                                   Am                   F
Never take advice from someone who's falling apart

[Bridge]
       F
So wander through these nights
              Am
I prefer hiding in plain sight
         G
My fourth drink in my hand

These desperate prayers are the cursed man
              F
Spilling out to you for free
        Am
But darling, darling, please
                      G                                                                      F
You wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking
           Am                                G
If you knew where I was walking
                                                                             F 
To a house, not a home, all alone 'cause nobody's there
              Am                                                                             G
Where I pace in my pent and my friends found friends who care
                                                                               F
No one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire

[Outro]
                                        Am                     G
You should find another guiding light, guiding light

Well I shine so bright
F                                       Am                     G
You should find another guiding light, guiding light

But I shine so bright

F Am G

F                                  Am                                     G
You should find another, you should find another (guiding light)
                   G                                      F Am G F Am
Find another, you should find another
                                      G F Am G
You should find another
