[Intro 1]
[D][A][G]
[D][A][G][A][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]could
break free [A]from the
Wood of [G]a coffin
If I [D]need
But nothin's [G]hard as
Gettin' [A]free from places
[G]I've already [D]been

[Verse 2]
I've [D]been waste- deep
In [A]the burnin' [G]meadows
Of my [D]mind
In the [G]en gine
In cold Decem[A]ber
Shootin' [G]fire from the [D]hose

[Verse 3]
Now [D]turn off your [F#m]lights
'cause [Bm]I'm not comin' [D]home
'til I'm de[G]livered for the [A]first time
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]
I was first- born to [A]a parade
[G]That follows in [D]rows
Down a nar[G]row cold black [A]river
Faceless [G]shadows
Movin' [D]slow

[Verse 5]
I [D]would move swift when
[A]The sounds of [G]a trumpet would [D]blow
I've been the [G]puppet
I've been [A]the strings
I know the va[G]cant face it [D]brings

[Verse 6]
Now [D]the bells of [F#m]curfew
They may [Bm]ring before I'm [D]through
But soon
[G]I'll be del[A]ivered for the first time
[G]

[Verse 7]
[D]
You might keep clean
In [A]the back of an [G]angel motor[D]cade
It doesn't [G]matter who walks [A]in
You know, [G]the joke is still [D]the same[A]
[D]You'll jus[A]t wak[D]e up
Like [A]a disposa[G]ble lover
Decom[D]posed
I've [G]been gone
I've been re[A]membered
I've been [G]alive
I've been [D]a ghost
So now, [A]if

[Verse 8]
[D]downtown explo[F#m]des
I'll [Bm]still be on this [D]road
'til I'm de[G]livered for [A]the first time
[G]

[Verse 9]
[D]
I have drawn blood
From [A]the neck[Asus4]line
[A]When vam[G]pires were in [A]fas[D]hion
You know [G]I'd even learn
To [A]cut my throat
If [G]I thought I could fit in

[Verse 10]
[Bm]'cau[A]se I, I on[D]ce heard
That you gotta [A]learn
How to blend [G]in to [D]this mess
Where [G]nothin's hard
Nothin's pre[A]cious
And nothin's [G]smooth or flaw[D]less

[Verse 11]
[D]Now, no more [F#m]amused
Just [Bm]screaming [D]to be delivered
[G]For the fir[A]st tim[G]e[D]

[Verse 12]
[D]Now I'm 10 miles [A]in the deep
And [G]mighty blue [D]sea
Looking [G]back,
towards a [A]long white beach
Burnin' [G]up into yellow [D]flames

[Verse 13]
And I [D]just wave back
Like a [A]little boy up on a [G]pony
In a show
[D]'cause I can't fix
[G]Something this com[A]plex
Any [G]more than I can build a rose
[D]So just

[Verse 14]
keep on letting [F#m]go
'cause I [Bm]must be close
[D]To being del[G]ivered for
the [A]first [G]time[D]

[Verse 15]
Now [D]I'd rather bleed out
A [A]long stream [G]from being lonely
And feel [D]blessed
Well than [G]drown, laying [A]face down
In a [G]puddle of re[D]spect
I was once lost
In the [A]corridors of the [G]arena
In blind[D]folds
I've been the [G]bull
I've been the [A]whip
I [G]just pulled down the matador
[D]So now,

[Verse 16]
turn on your [F#m]light s
[Bm]'cause I'm comin' home
[D]I've been deliv[G]ered for the fir[A]st time
