[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

[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 Bb Gm D
      D                        Bb
For a life that's worth living over

Gm        D
Again and again

Again and again and

Bb    Gm
Again again
