[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][Em][F#5][G][C][Em][F#5][D][G]
[Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The floodgates opened and [G]there was a river
[Em]Flowing through me with [Ebm]a dull
[Eb5]precision[C]
It left me feeling [Ebm]naus e[B]ous
[Em]And handcuffed by a lack[G] of ambition
[Em]Drugs and dayt[Ebm]ime tele[C]vision
Dividing like light through a pris[Bm]m
A [D]thousand individual parts
[Ebm]I couldn't proces[Em]s

[Verse 2]
And I was [D]lying [F#5]in the backsea[D]t
[G]I was trying to [C]find[Em]
New words for [F#5]the same repeating
[D]lines
[G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
And [Bm]af t[F#sus4]er the smok[Bm]e
[F#sus4]cleared[G]
Opened my [Bm]eyes and I was still [C]here
I was certain I was [G]a g[D]oner[G]
It shoulda been [Bm]me on th[F#m]e table[Em]
With [B]the wires and [C]the cables
I'll do anything [G]it takes if [D]you stay here
Just [B]a little while [Em]longer

[Verse 4]
And I was [G]lying [F#5]in the backsea[G]t,
I was trying to [C]find[Em]
New words for [D]the same [F#5]repeating
[G]lines[D][Am][D][C]
And [Am]I was ly[G]ing through my teeth
Always [Bm]saying [B]it would be al[C]right
Still feeling [Am]your fin[G]gers on my

[Interlude 1]
spine
[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
And when [Ebm]the floodgates closed
[Em]And I was back in my[Ebm]
darkened [B]home[C]
Feeling more depleted than I [B]ever
[Bm]have[A][B][Ebm][B][Em]
But in[B]stead of [Em]crying
Whenever I [Ebm]think of dy[D]ing[C]
It only makes [Bm]me laugh
[A][Ebm][Em][F#5]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
And how can I explain it to you

[Interlude 2]
When I don't understand it myself?
[Em][Ebm]
[D][G]
[Bm][D][A5][Am][C]
And [G]I was

[Verse 7]
lying in the backseat,
[Bm]I was trying to find[C][Em]
New words for [F#m]the same
repeating [G]lines[D][C]
And [Am]I was ly[G]ing through my teeth
Always [Bm]saying [B]it would be [A]al [C]right
Still feeling [Am]your [G]fingers on my spine

[Outro 1]
[D][E]
