verse/chorus: G [G C] G G
pre-chorus: (Em Em D C) x4
outro: G C

trapped behind blue eyes without a word
the engine of your heart a broken bird
that drives your only hope off the rails
& breaks each small success, it never fails
don't spare details...full-blown the sails

in your defense

the lens refracts the light until it burns
your common cause was never taking turns
all praise a verb...you don't deserve

[pre]
when friends exchange with enemies
the ghosts inside your family
& hold you back to speak

[ch]
in your defense
in your defense...

[outro]
