Verse 1:
(Palm mute)

C                  Gm
From small pins to fiery burns,
Fm                          Gm
These are the signals of my dying nerves
C                          Gm
Singed by the heat of your lines and curves
Fm                     Gm
Into a fire that could scorch the earth

I'm going through the motions

But I can't remember how to feel

Verse 2:
(Palm mute)

C                    Gm
From small shocks to surgin' bolts
Fm                            Gm
These are the signals from my spinal post
C                                 Gm
Sent down the wires through their lines and folds
Fm                Gm
Into a riot on my frontal lobe

Pre-chorus:
(Palm mute)

C
I'm going through the motions
Gm
I'm going through the motions
Fm
I'm going through the motions

I'm going through 'em

But I can't remember how to feel
