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]

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
