Senses Fail - Safe House


                 [Gm]                          [F]
  I'm climbing out   of the hole that I've been digging

                      [Eb]                              [F]
  throwing out all the blueprints I had drawn up for the safe house.

              [Gm]                        [F]
  I've stashed away enough food for forty days, gallons of water

       [Eb]                     [F]
  first aid and propane and some wine to entertain.


  [Eb]                           [Bb]
      I'm always planning for the worst.

             [F]
  I signed my will right after birth.

  [Eb]                    [F]
      I've got my eulogy rehearsed.


  [Gm]                [Eb]
      I fall to pieces    and I get weak in the knees

  [Bb]                [F]
         when I think about eternity.

  [Gm]                       [Eb]
      Have I been led astray?    Feeling like fate forgot me

  [Bb]                [F]                [Gm]
      He had the right name but the wrong street.


  [Gm]                              [F]
      I'm pulling nails out from the coffin

                    [Eb]
     I'm gasping for air. my eyes are full just

             [F]
     like the moon, I've got a silver bullet stare.

  [Gm]                          [F]
      The holy grail that I once thought was fiction but

         [Eb]                       [F]
      the fact is that it's not in communion with my thoughts.


  [Eb]                       [Bb]               [F]
      The vultures circle overhead, hanging like halos for the dead

  [Eb]                          [F]
      But I'm not suited for one yet.


  [Gm]                [Eb]
      I fall to pieces    and I get weak in the knees

  [Bb]                [F]
         when I think about eternity.

  [Gm]                       [Eb]
      Have I been led astray?    Feeling like they forgot me

  [Bb]                [F]                [Eb]
      He had the right name but the wrong street.



  [Eb]            [Bb]    [F]
      I'm a number    in a lottery.

  [Eb]                   [Bb]     [F]       [Gm] ...
      Life's a boardwalk game god rigged to cheat.



  [Gm] ... [F] ... [Cm] ... ...

  [Gm] ... [F] ... [Cm] ... ...



  [Bb]                 [F]             [Eb]
      As the snow falls all along the peaks

  My mind's an avalanche I'm digging through to reach

  [Bb]               [F]                   [Eb]
     All the things I tried to shove down deep

  My mind's an avalanche I'm digging through to reach.


              [Eb]             [F]
  and I could run but with its speed,

                  [Gm]       [F]  [Eb] ...
  I'm bound to be buried here underneath

         [Eb]              [F]
  A tidal wave triggered to teach that

            [Gm]         [F]     [Eb]
  life on an island isn't what it seems

                    [Cm]              [Eb]           [F]
  I'm cutting off my toes just so that I can spite my feet.


  [Gm]                [Eb]
      I fall to pieces    and I get weak in the knees

  [Bb]                [F]
         when I think about eternity.

  [Gm]                       [Eb]
      Have I been led astray?    Feeling like they forgot me

  [Bb]                [F]                [Gm]
      He had the right name but the wrong street.
