Verse 1

D5            D5                 G5
Well this stone that I have swallowed
        E5   ( G5 )  D5
isn't going down so well,
              D5                G5
and this road that I have followed
    E5    ( G5 )  D5
is leading me to hell.
       D5                G5
You said it didn't matter
      E5      ( G5 )  D5
but I think you're a liar.
     D5                G5
Is this one of you talents
        E5    ( G5 )  A5
that stokes the very fire.
A5
It burns you.


Chorus.

          E5                  G5
Each time you try to live,
               A5
and the Earth will turn below you,
        E5                                 G5                 D5
the pressure is building and something has to give.

Verse 2

D5               D5           G5
And when I build you a steeple
E5  ( G5 ) D5
you say it's incomplete.
D5              D5               G5
Cause you need the whole cathedral
E5 ( G5 )     D5
to satisfy your needs.
D5         D5          G5
You're like a paper aeroplane
E5  ( G5 )           D5
that never seems to land.
D5        D5              G5
Flying blind through anything,
E5       ( G5 ) A5
straight into the hand that chokes you.

Chorus.

Bridge

D5   D5   G5   E5   G5   D5
Something has to give
D5            D5    G5
Something has to give
E5         G5    D5
Something has to give
