Am                            F                          Am
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
Am                                          F                   Am
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more


[Verse]
Am
Regenerated, but all this time you’ve suffocated
                                       F
Forgetting how to live for no one but yourself, you hate it
Am
The windows let in too much light for just two eyes
F                        Am
Put curtains pertinently over anything that’s hurting
Am
Step back, gotta listen to the warning signs
F
But they’re just palimpsests
           Am
Painted over, pre-pre-pre-pre-pretending
Am
Invigorated by all the pain and all the hatred
F
Better kill me now ‘cause
Am
I’ll have a lot to say when I’m famous


[Chorus]
Am                           F                        A
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
Am                                          F                            A
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more
Am         F               Am
Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive


[Verse]
Am
Mean little boys who never grow up
F                                 Am
Cut up all the little earthworms, call it love, bullshit
Am
‘Cause when they squint their eyes at dimming lights
            F
You pull a Charles Boyer
               Am
Fight ’til you destroy their sense of what is right
Am                                              F
Young minds molded into whatever makes you feel you're unconfined
Am
And you can’t tell that they’re maligned

You go toward the storm blind

Filthy fingers cover trusting eyes
F                     Am
You won’t make it alive


[Chorus]
Am                           F         Am
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
Am                                    F              Am
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more
Am                           F         Am
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
Am                                    F              Am
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more


[Bridge]
Am      F                Am
Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive
Am       F             Am
Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive


[Chorus]
Am                           F         E7
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
Am                                    F              E7
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more
Am                           F         E7
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
Am                                    F              E7
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more
Am                           F         E7
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
 Am      F               E7
(Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive)

You break their heart with ease ‘cause
Am
(Ah, Ah)
F                E7
You won’t make it alive
