[Verse 1]
C                  
Angels fall to the floor
          F              G
Like they would if I was Captain
C                    
Silver children, she roared
    F              G
I'm not the son of God
C                
Somebody help me sing
    F       G     
Can anybody hear me?
C                 
Liars and lovers combine tonight
      F             G
We're gonna make a scene

[Pre-chorus]
Am                F     C   G
Somebody help me sing, whoa
Am                F     C   G
Somebody help me sing, whoa

[Chorus]
C                 G
Help me Captain of our crippled disguises
  Am
I won't show what's underneath
G
 It's time for surprises
  C
I can't climb up your ladder
G
I cannot ride your horse
     Am
I've swallowed half an hourglass
   G
So now the landscape is swollen up

C   F  x2 

[Verse 2]
C                 
I gave birth to a fire
     F                       G
It's like its features were burning
C      
I'm in control
  F             G    
I am the son of God
C                
Somebody help me sing
    F       G
Can anybody hear me?
C                 
Line up your soldiers one final time 
      F            G
We're gonna have a ball

[Pre-chorus]
Am                F     C   G
Somebody help me sing, whoa
Am                F     C   G
Somebody help me sing, whoa

[Chorus]
C                 G
Help me Captain of our crippled disguises
  Am
I won't show what's underneath
G
 It's time for surprises
C
I can't climb up your ladder
G
I cannot ride your horse
Am
I've swallowed half an hourglass
G
So now the landscape is swollen up

C   G   Am   G

C           
Let's lock death away
G           
Let's lock death away
Am           
Let's lock death away
G           
Let's lock death away

C           
Let's lock death away
G           
Let's lock death away
Am           
Let's lock death away
G                      
Let's lock death away
