E                                     Am
I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling
              E                               Am
But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
E                                     Am
Buried in the basement floor, didn't know what I had planted
                   E                          Am
It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War

[Pre-Chorus]
E                    Am
I'm a spirit in a tomb
                            E
Won't somebody raise the roof
          C                                 Am
I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue
                         E
Do you mind if I'm exhumed?
                        Am
I'm the ashes in the plume
                       E
I'm a beggar in the ruin
            C                                 Am
I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through
Am
I'm only lonely for the truth

[Chorus]
E                               D
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out
    C                           Am
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth
E                               D
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out
    C                           Am
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Light as a feather, stiff as a board
Sink to the floor, I sink to the floor

[Verse 2]
Em                                        D
You were in my dream last night, but your face was someone else's
               Em
A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder
Em                         D
Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience
                 Em
You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter

[Pre-Chorus]
E                    Am
I'm a spirit in a tomb
                            E

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?
                        Am
I'm the ashes in the plume
