[ Gm ]                          [ F ]
  I'm climbing out   of the hole that I've been digging

                      [ Eb ]                              [ F ]
  throwing out all the blueprints I had drawn up for the safe house.

              [ Gm ]                        [ F ]
  I've stashed away enough food for forty days, gallons of water

       [ Eb ]                     [ F ]
  first aid and propane and some wine to entertain.


  [ Eb ]                           [ Bb ]
      I'm always planning for the worst.

             [ F ]
  I signed my will right after birth.

  [ Eb ]                    [ F ]
      I've got my eulogy rehearsed.


  [ Gm ]                [ Eb ]
      I fall to pieces    and I get weak in the knees

  [ Bb ]                [ F ]
         when I think about eternity.

  [ Gm ]                       [ Eb ]
      Have I been led astray?    Feeling like fate forgot me

  [ Bb ]                [ F ]                [ Gm ]
      He had the right name but the wrong street.


  [ Gm ]                              [ F ]
      I'm pulling nails out from the coffin

                    [ Eb ]
     I'm gasping for air. my eyes are full just

             [ F ]
     like the moon, I've got a silver bullet stare.

  [ Gm ]                          [ F ]
      The holy grail that I once thought was fiction but

         [ Eb ]                       [ F ]
      the fact is that it's not in communion with my thoughts.


  [ Eb ]                       [ Bb ]               [ F ]
      The vultures circle overhead, hanging like halos for the dead

  [ Eb ]                          [ F ]
      But I'm not suited for one yet.


  [ Gm ]                [ Eb ]
      I fall to pieces    and I get weak in the knees

  [ Bb ]                [ F ]
         when I think about eternity.

  [ Gm ]                       [ Eb ]
      Have I been led astray?    Feeling like they forgot me

  [ Bb ]                [ F ]                [ Eb ]
      He had the right name but the wrong street.



  [ Eb ]            [ Bb ]    [ F ]
      I'm a number    in a lottery.

  [ Eb ]                   [ Bb ]     [ F ]       [ Gm ] ...
      Life's a boardwalk game god rigged to cheat.



  [ Gm ] ... [ F ] ... [ Cm ] ... ...

  [ Gm ] ... [ F ] ... [ Cm ] ... ...



  [ Bb ]                 [ F ]             [ Eb ]
      As the snow falls all along the peaks

  My mind's an avalanche I'm digging through to reach

  [ Bb ]               [ F ]                   [ Eb ]
     All the things I tried to shove down deep

  My mind's an avalanche I'm digging through to reach.


              [ Eb ]             [ F ]
  and I could run but with its speed,

                  [ Gm ]       [ F ]  [ Eb ] ...
  I'm bound to be buried here underneath

         [ Eb ]              [ F ]
  A tidal wave triggered to teach that

            [ Gm ]         [ F ]     [ Eb ]
  life on an island isn't what it seems

                    [ Cm ]              [ Eb ]           [ F ]
  I'm cutting off my toes just so that I can spite my feet.


  [ Gm ]                [ Eb ]
      I fall to pieces    and I get weak in the knees

  [ Bb ]                [ F ]
         when I think about eternity.

  [ Gm ]                       [ Eb ]
      Have I been led astray?    Feeling like they forgot me

  [ Bb ]                [ F ]                [ Gm ]
      He had the right name but the wrong street.
