Introduction:
D Em Bm
Welcome back, insomnia
D G Bm A D Em Bm
Ushered back into silence only when everyone else is sleeping
D Em Bm
And 'cause the city is sleeping
D G Bm A D G Bm A
No one ruthless is rushing to get to the front of the line, as usual
Bm9 G D
'Cause I am losing the plot
Bm9 G D A
I am grieving the end of superwomaning
Bm9 G D
I have laid down my cape
G A Bm D
As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
G A Bm D Bm9 G D
As though I have not been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet
D Em Bm
I'm exhausted, Midas
D Em Bm A D
Reigniting a hunger that typically fuels those of us
Em Bm
Still searching for something outside ourselves
D Em Bm
'Cause this city bears violence
D Em Bm A D
And everybody is rushing to sob at the podium
Em Bm
And thank for ones who loved and exploited well
Bm9 G D
'Cause I am losing the plot
Bm9 G D A
I am grieving the end of superwomaning
Bm9 G D
I have laid down my cape
G A Bm D
As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
G A Bm D Bm9 G F#7
As though I have not been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet
Bm Em C#m F#
The light at the end of the tunnel
Bm Em A F#m Bm Em C#m
The one I have always prayed for is a train
F# Bm Em F#
At a hundred miles per hour
Bm
And it promises to break my bones if I don't stand still
Bm9 G D
Rip my heart out, ambition mill or bust
Bm9 G D A
With my relevance in dust
Bm9 G D
'Cause I am losing the plot
Bm9 G D A
I am grieving the end of superwomaning
Bm9 G D
I have laid down my cape
G A Bm D
As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths
G A Bm D Bm9 G
As though I have not been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead
G A Bm D
As though this fame and pressure has not been a vice around my head
G A Bm D Bm9 G D
As though my heart has not kept all my cynicism under the mattress
Bm9 G D
And I can't keep it up
Bm G D
Though the fire is not out yet
Bm G D
I am losing the plot
