Verse 1
Blue October - Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek
Intro
[Bbm] [Ab] [F] [Bbm] [Ab] [F]
Verse
I [Bbm]try to stay on top of you
To hold your body [F]down
Your [Bbm]shaking seems to hinder every grasp that I had [F]found
Moving [Bbm]every inch around me
To defuse your private [F]bomb
I [Bbm]stretch myself surrounding and protecting you from [F]harm
I use a [Bbm]wallet for your mouth so when you bite you will not [F]bleed
I drilled a [Bbm]wire through my cheek and let it down and out my [F]sleeve
And now you're [Bbm]pulling out the best of me yeah, which never ever [F]comes
This [Bbm]wire's all that's left of me and it's hooked within my [F]gums within my
gums
Chorus
[Bbm]So drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(So [Eb]drain [F][Bbm]it) so drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(You've got to [Eb]drain [F]it)
Verse 2
As [Bbm]proof to show I'd bleed for this I'd cut myself to [F]shame
To [Bbm]get to know this masochist who's stolen my first [F]name
[Bbm]Pretending he's a teacher holding all my weight at [F]ease
But the [Bbm]teacher seems to split in two destroying both his [F]knees
Now[Bbm] crawling I position myself below your broken [F]wings
I [Bbm]lift your feathered left arm where you hide your heart from [F]me
I never [Bbm]noticed it was swollen with the touch of brutal [F]pain
I never [Bbm]knew a heart could live inside the rust from all your [F]rain all your
rain
Chorus 2
[Bbm]So drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(So [Eb]drain [F][Bbm]it) so drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(You've got to [Eb]drain [F]it)
Verse 3
I didn't [Bbm]think to bring a wash cloth or to rub away the dirt
[Bbm]Myself and I, we share this barely-beating heart of hurt
And when the [Bbm]hurt comes there's an argument
A fight to save a [F]smile
A [Bbm]small attack on human tears to dry them for a [F]while
A [Bbm]dream we all should count on, yeah, a vision I [F]believe
In where [Bbm]confidence is found attached to wires on our [F]sleeve
In where [Bbm]loneliness is history
Told to pack his shit and [F]leave
And where [Bbm]guidance is a fortune told to help in time of [F]need
And where [Bbm]crying isn't secret, it's the art of how we [F]grieve
And [Bbm]lessons are the key to every goal I will [F]achieve, I will achieve
Chorus 3
[Bbm]So drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(So [Eb]drain [F][Bbm]it) so drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(You've got to [Eb]drain [F]it)
[Bbm]So drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(So [Eb]drain [F][Bbm]it) so drill it, so drill it, so [Db]hard, I [C]feel it[Bbm]
(You've got to [Eb]drain [F]it)
[Bbm] [Db] [C] [Bbm] [Eb] [F]
