Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][F#m][Em][A][Bm][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[A]Dead lungs command [Em]it
You [A]pour your life down the
[Em]rifle's spiral
[A]And show us you've earned [Em]it
[A]Cleric's fog will re[Em]cede
right before your [D]eyes

[Verse 2]
So long to [Em]this wretched [D]form
Those gray [Em]eyes [D]on the subway
Long be[Em]fore you were born
You [C]were always to be
a dagger [D]floating
Straight to their [A]heart

[Verse 3]
Listen, now, we won't [Em]tell [A]anyone
But you're gonna tell [Em]the world[A]
So life ain't [Em]then any [A]fun
Now your viscera [Em]unfurl

[Verse 4]
As you [D]rise, rise from [Em]your burning fiat
[D]Go, go get my [Em]suitcase, would [D]you?
You've thoroughly [Em]blown their mind
And now [C]I must have passage on [D]the lines

[Interlude 1]
To the veins from your heart
[A][Em]
[A][Em][D][Em][G][A][Em]

[Verse 5]
You're not in[F#m]visible, [G]now
You just don't ex[A]ist[Bm]
Your mother must be [C]so
[D]proud
You sublimate yourself,

[Interlude 2]
granting us a wish
[A][D][Em][A][Em][A]
Prim[D]itive

[Verse 6]
[Em]mirror on [A]the wall
To fortify [Em]your grim [A]resolve
Amid the [D]glitz of a [Em]shopping [A]mall
Another grain of [Em]indigent
salt for [D]the sea

[Verse 7]
Go back to [Em]this wretched [D]form
All them gray [Em]eyes on the subway
[D]So long befor[Em]e you were born
You were [C]always to be
a dagger [D]floating
Straight to [G]their heart

[Outro 1]
