Verse 1

  F                     G                      Am7
There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress

                    C
And I'm sneaking glances.

  F                            G
Looking for the patterns in static

                     Am7
They start to make sense 

                   C
The longer I'm at it.

Verse 2


  F               G                         Am7
Your heart is a river that flows from your chest

                C
Through every organ.

  F                G
Your brain is the dam

              Am7
And I am the fish

                     C 
Who can't reach the core.

 Em     F           C
Oh, instincts are misleading

 Em             F                  C 
You shouldn't think what you're feeling

 Em                   F
They don't tell you what

 C 
You know you should want

Oh wha-ho, oh wha-ho


 Em     F             C
Oh, instincts are misleading

 Em             F                 C
You shouldn't think what you're feeling

 Em                   F
They don't tell you what

 C 
You know you should want
