[Verse 1]
D F You got an albatross around your neck Em D Around your neck D F C D You got a hundred broken lightbulbs above your head D F Em D They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet D F C D Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb and then you see red
[Pre-Chorus]
D F Em D Sunblind D F C D Sunblind
[Verse 2]
D F You got an albatross around your neck Em D Around your neck D F C D You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed D F Em D And you got a hungry green eyed monster that you keep fed D F C D And it keeps on coming over it wants you dead
[Pre-Chorus]
D F Em D Sunblind D F C D Sunblind
[Chorus]
Bb Gm D Oh, You burnt the lungs D Bb That your ancestors created Gm D You sat by the banks D Bb Of the river and you waited Gm D Till time rolled back D Bb And the water had abated Gm D You drank your share D Bb But you still could not be sated Gm D Quicksands of the mind D Bb And the sinkholes you may find Gm D When you look through D Bb Gm D The twisting of the vines D Bb Gm D (The twisting of the vines)
[Bridge]
Bb Gm D Time comes round again D Bb It's etching at your bones Gm D Chill wind comes round D Bb It's blowing through your home Gm D Quicksands of the mind D Bb And the sinkholes you may find Gm D When you look through D Bb The twisting of the vines
[Chorus]
Gm D You burnt the lungs D Bb That your ancestors created Gm D You sat by the banks D Bb Of the river and you waited Gm D Till time rolled back D Bb And the water had abated Gm D You drank your share D Bb But you still could not be sated Gm D You said you're scared D Bb Of the clocks that keep ticking over Gm D We'll find a way D Bb For a life that's worth living over Gm D Again and again D Bb For a life that's worth living over Gm D Again and again
Bb Gm D D
