All of your pretty things
C#5
  Your petty pretty 
           Ab5 B5
things are gone
E5
  the ground beneath your feet
C#5                          Ab5    B5
  isn't the stable earth you thought

Verse 2:
E5
  A song so sweetly sung
C#5                         Ab5 B5
   as if the offer would rescind
E5
credit all firsthand accounts
C#5
   With need to write 
           Ab5 B5
about and spin
        E5                    C#5
mistakes they're all mistakes
they're all mistakes

B5
  But on the way down
F#5
     On the way down
E5                C#5
  Before you can see
B5
  But all the way down
F#5                   E5
  You laugh with the pieces
You just can't 
  C#5           B5
explain it all away
Away the damage
    F#5
And after you atone
E5                       C#5
This is all you have to show


Post Biss: E- - C#m- - Abm-- x2


Verse 2:
E5
  All of your pretty things
C#5
   Those petty pretty things
    Ab5 B5
You lost
E5
  
  Discerning taste of greed
C#5
   The who you used to be
    Ab5   B5     E5
Was awful to be true
                  C#5
But now we see you
Now we see you
