Em Cmaj7 G /F# /B Cmaj7/G
I sit here shooting blanks out at emptiness
Em/C# Cmaj7 G /F# /B Cmaj7/G

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

cos'I'm a
G /F# /B Em* Em7/D Em/C# Cmaj7 /B G /F#
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
G /F# /B Em* Em7/D Em/C# Cmaj7 /B
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
