"everything that keeps me together is falling apart
ive got this thing that i consider my only art of fucking people over
my boss just quit the job
says hes going out to find blind spots and he'll do it"

"the 3rd planet is surely there being watched
by an eye in the sky that can't be stopped
when you get to the promise land
youre gonna shake that eyes hand"

chorus
the strumming pattern here isnt hard at all. just listen to the song and you'll get it. 
have to use palm mutes after each chord for the first chorus.

"your heart felt good, it was dripping pitch and made of wood
and your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
well outside naked shivering looking blue
from the cold sunlight thats reflected off the moon
baby cum angels fly around you
reminding you we used to be three and not just two
and thats how the world began
and thats how the world will end"

second verse
this is the part that everybody seems to get wrong on all the tabs ive seen. this is the 
way.

"a 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the water
didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter
when it occurred to me that the animals were swimming
around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
and another had been found another ocean on the planet
given that our blood is just like atlantic
and how
well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
if you go straight long enough you end up where you were
and the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
if you go straight long enough you end up where you were
the universe is shaped exactly like the earth"

second chorus
this time the strumming pattern is different, its a bit quieter on the chords, and there 
no palm mutes. listen to the song to get the pattern, its a bit weird.

"your heart felt good, it was dripping pitch and made of wood
and your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
well outside naked shivering looking blue
from the cold sunlight thats reflected off the moon
baby cum angels fly around you
reminding you we used to be three and not just two
and thats how the world began
and thats how the world will end"


to end, repeat the second verse, then play this again
