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

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

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

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
E5
I sink to the floor
Light as a feather, stiff as a board

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
