[Verse 1]
E                                     Am
I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling

              E                               Am
But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door

E                                     Am
Buried in the basement floor, didn't know what I had planted

                   E                          Am
It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War
[Pre-Chorus]
E                    Am
I'm a spirit in a tomb

                            E
Won't somebody raise the roof

          C                                 Am
I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

                         E
Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

                        Am
I'm the ashes in the plume

                       E
I'm a beggar in the ruin

            C                                 Am
I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

Am
I'm only lonely for the truth
[Chorus]
E                               D
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

    C                           Am
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

E                               D
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

    C                           Am
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth
N.C. Please, don't follow [Interlude] E D Am C Am [Chorus]
E                 D             Am
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

    C                           Am
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Am
Please, don't follow
[Bridge] N.C. Light as a feather, stiff as a board Sink to the floor, I sink to the floor
E5
I sink to the floor
Light as a feather, stiff as a board [Verse 2]
Em                                        D
You were in my dream last night, but your face was someone else's

               Em
A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder

Em                         D
Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience

                 Em
You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter
[Pre-Chorus]
E                    Am
I'm a spirit in a tomb

                            E
Won't somebody raise the roof

          C                                 Am
I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

                         E
Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

                        Am
I'm the ashes in the plume

                       E
I'm a beggar in the ruin

            C                                 Am
I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

Am
I'm only lonely for the truth
[Chorus]
E                 D             Am
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

    C                           Am
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Am
Please, don't follow

E                 D             Am
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth
