D                                   Gmaj7  
I can't think of anything I did or was doing,
D                                     Gmaj7  
I can't seem to get a hold on what's come to pass,
        A7sus4         Bm11  
here with half a mind on something else
           Bm           A7sus4  
and half a finger in the glass,
          D
since you ask.


D                                    Gmaj7         
I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be going:
D                                    Gmaj7  
in the end every journey's only pawing the ground
         A7sus4             Bm11
and I've half a mind just to jack it in,
             Bm                      A7sus4  
but for this torn-off ticket stub I just found.
           D             Bm          
Since you ask about the shape I'm in
           Em                G
I'll try my best to pull myself around.
 Asus4   A    Asus4  A     Asus4     A
Amnesiac if you say it's so;
Asus4   A    Asus4  A     Asus4     A
amnesiac what happened long ago?
Asus4      A                Cadd9
Oh, now I just don't know.


D                                 Gmaj7           
I can't think of anyone that I'd rather be with
D                                     Gmaj7  
but I don't know why you should want to stick here with me
      A7sus4               Bm11
when I can't even find what was on my mind
           Bm                 A7sus4  
for all the holes punched in my memory:

A7sus4                    Bm11
it's a wasteland, and I'm terrified
     Bm7             Bm11
to admit, to let go, to accept I don't know,
           Bm7
all those blanks won't be filled,
                               A7sus4
I'll be found by the chill of the glacier run
           A7sus4
of what I might have done....
                  D          Bm
Since you last asked about the state I'm in
                        Em                    G
it seems I've lost all grip on where I'm coming from....
         

Asus4      A            Asus4      A             
Amnesiac does it so plainly show?
Asus4      A           Asus4      A             
Amnesiac as if I didn't know,
Asus4      A           Asus4      A             
Amnesiac oh say it isn't so....
Asus4      A       
Amnesiac,
Asus4      A
amnesiac,
Asus4      A
amnesiac,
                Cadd9
black-out, K.O.
