Am      G       F       C (x2)

(Verse One)

     Am                 G
I'm taking over my body, back in control, no more shotty,

  F                               C
I bet a lot of me was lost, 't's uncrossed and 'I's undotted,

  Am                        G
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got,

F                   C
  Not anymore, flesh out the door, swat,

Am                      G
I must've forgot, you can't trust me,

     F
I'm open a moment and close when you show it,

C
Before you know it I'm lost at sea,

Am                                        G
  And now that I write and think about it,

                      F
And the story unfolds,

                                C
You should take my life, you should take my soul.


(Pre-Chorus)

Am      G

F       C
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Am      G
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

F       C
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
(First Chorus)

F               Am        C             G
   You are surrounding all my surroundings,

    F                   Am                C        G
Sounding down the mountain range of my left-side brain,

F               Am        C             G
   You are surrounding all my surroundings,

     F          Am             C        G
Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes.


(Post-Chorus)

Am      G       F                               C
                   and I’ll be holding onto you

Am      G       F                               C
                   and I’ll be holding onto you

(Verse Two)

Am                                      G
Remember the moment you know exactly where you're going,

                F
'Cause the next moment, before you know it,

C                                         Am
Time is slowing and it's frozen still,

                        G
And the window sill looks really nice, right?

F                               C
You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night,

Am                 G
Right? Fight it, take the pain, ignite it,

        F                                           C
Tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie it,

Am                      G
   To a tree, tell it,
