*Filled in the chords through the whole song -Full Force Hi-Fi*

B                          A               E
it was raining outside so i cleaned house today
E                    B     F#
spent half of the morning throwing old things away
B                          A               E
try not to get caught up, try to think like a machine
E                B                F#
focus in on the task, try not to think about what it means

F#            B
can't get you 
             E
outta my head
           B     F#
lost without you
B
half dead

B                           A                 E
took my spot at the window, looked out at the road
E                  B       F# 
dots and dashes of traffic like a message in code
B                           A                 E
and whole boxes of memories wrapped up at the curb
E               B       F#
i sang songs to myself, didn't have any words

          B
can't get you 
         E
outta my head
           B    F#
lost without you
B
half dead

B                         A          E
stole out to the backyard late last night
E            B    F#
pine trees frozen in the silvery moonlight
B                   A              E
rising like giants from the cold earth
E                     B              F#              
what are the years we gave each other ever gonna be worth?

          B
can't get you 
          E
outta my head
          B    F#
lost without you
B
half dead
