[Intro 1]
[A5][C5][G]
[C5]
[A5]Go

[Verse 1]
[C5]
[G][A5][C5][G][C5]
[G]Stapled [Bb5]shut,
inside an outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight, bizarre but [C5]right at
[G]home[Bb5]
Claustrophobic, closing
in and I'm
[A5]Catastroph[Bb5]ic, no[C5]t ag[G]ain
I'm [Bb5]smeared across the page
[A5]and [Bb5]doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain,
[A5]yet I'm the [C5]one who's [G]ob s[A5]cene
[Bb5]Catch me up on all your sordid
little insurrections
I've got no time to lose,
I'm just caught up [C5]in all the [G]cattle[A5]
Fray the [Am]strings,

[Verse 2]
[A5]thro[Bb5]w the [A5]shapes[Bb5][A5]
[Bb5]Hold your breath, listen

[Verse 3]
[A5]I am a world be fo[C5]re I[G] am a m[C5]an
[A5]I was a [C5]creature be[G]
[C5]fore I [Eb5]could stand[Dm]
[A5]I will remembe[G]r before I f[C5]or g[Eb5]et[D]
Be[C5]fore I for[Cm]get [D]that
[A5]I am a wor[C5]ld

[Verse 4]
[G]before I [C5]am a [Bb5]man
[A5]I was a [C5]creature be[G]
[C5]fore I [D]could stand
[A5]I will remembe[G]r befo[C5]re I for[Eb5] get[D]
[Dm]Be f[F5]ore I [C5]forget t[A5]hat

[Verse 5]
[C5]I'm ripp[A5]ed acros[Bb5]s the ditch and[A5]
[Bb5]settled in the dirt and I
Wear you like a stitch,
yet I'm the [C5]one [G]who's hurt
[Bb5]Pay attention to your twisted
little indiscretions
I've got no right to win, I'm
just caught up [C5]all the b[G]attles
[A5]

[Verse 6]
Locked [Am]in cl[Bb5]utch,
pushed in place
Hold [A5]your [Bb5]breath, listen
[A5]I am a

[Verse 7]
[C5]world [G]before [C5]I am a man
[A5]I was a cr[C5]eature be[G]
[C5]fore [Eb5]I could [D]stand
[A5]I will remem[C5] ber[G] be [C5]fore I forget[D]
