Chords

[Verse 1]
              G            B7
There's these cracks in my skin

       Em       C
Doctor where to begin

    G      C          G
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired

          G             B7
There's a ringing in my ear

        Em        C
Singing angels, I fear

            G                C                G
And they're calling, they're calling, they're calling
[Bridge]
              Em          G
There's these lines in my palms

        Em      G
Playing funeral songs

        Em        G         C
They've carved my name in a stone

          Em          G
There's a hole in the ground

         Em           G
While my head, loudly pounds

        Em       G          C
And the coroners calling my phone

       Em                  C
And he talks to me, and he calls the priest

   G               C                    G
We all make sense, of the things to do, in the end
[Verse 2]
        G         B7
Well my windbands rusted

Em        C
Turnin to dust

        G             C             G
And I'm lonesome, I'm lonesome, I'm lonesome

        G              B7
And the mirror, on the wall

        Em             C
Doesn't look right, at all

      G       C       G
I see nothin, nothin, nothin
[Bridge 2]
         Em               G
But this one thing stares back

        Em           G
And his eyes are all black

            Em             G          C
And they're empty, they're absent, of life

      Em      G
And I see out behind me

          Em                 G
All these ghosts, dressed in white sheets

            Em            G         C
And they've all got their arms open wide

             G                 C                 G
And they hum welcome home, hmm welcome home, hmm welcome home
[Verse 3]
             G        B7
There's this terrible dream

       Em        C
I keep meanin to leave

      G           C           G
But I can't, no I can't, no I can't

    G              B7
For I'm young, and sickened

    Em             C
And beside, all my friends

      G         C         G
But I run, oh I run, oh I run
[Bridge 3]
      Em             G
And I can't stand it one bit

      Em           G
And I feel that my heart's ripped in

Em        G          C
Two, from leaving my chance

         Em       G
Is there anything worse

        Em       G
Than to miss and yearn

      Em           G       C
For a time that is so long past
[Outro]
        G          C          G          C
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired

    G           C      G
The dream keeps coming back

        G      C              G          C          G
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
