D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dbut (xx0232@1)all our basic concepts basically say that it's
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dall (xx0232@1)relatively arranged in such familiar ways
C (x32010@1) Dsuch (xx0232@1)familiar ways x3
Cin (x32010@1)such...
D...familiar (xx0232@1)ways
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dthe (xx0232@1)new someday soon run away from me
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Emdraw (022000@1)one more scar hard on my heart
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dthe (xx0232@1)flesh is much stronger where it's been torn once
D (xx0232@1) F#mlike (244222@1)an arc weld holds -
C (x32010@1) Dholds... (xx0232@1)things together 'till they're apart

D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Emwhen (022000@1)i'm not alive they are over and away
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dfluttering (xx0232@1)around this carcass just casually eating my brains
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dno (xx0232@1)feathers on their heads, no flesh left on my face
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dand (xx0232@1)in the shifty underground everywhere
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Emthere's (022000@1)a few more roots than i can really bear
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dand (xx0232@1)on the surface the lights wide open where
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1)the water runs to

D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dand (xx0232@1)i knew someday the ruin might be built by me
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Emjust (022000@1)one more stone stacked ridiculously high
D (xx0232@1) F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1) Dthe (xx0232@1)solid is much weaker where it's been worn some by the
