[Verse 1]
          Bm      D        G
There's a vulture perching right off screen

         Bm        D            G
And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things

        Bm          D         G
And the weeps turn quick into bullying

        Bm      D         Em       A          G
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening
[Chorus]
N.C.                         G
I know you've heard it before

                         Bm
But then it wasn't enough

                D                               A
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution

                           G
I know you've seen this before

                          Bm
And now enough is too much

                D                                 A
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes

         Em F# G
I'm sorry
[Verse 2]
         Bm    D           G
You're a marionette in the center of

     Bm      D              G
The twisting strings coming from above

       Bm       D          G
It may seem too deep to recover from

        Bm      D         Em        A                G
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go
[Chorus]
                             G
I know you've heard it before

                         Bm
But then it wasn't enough

                D                               A
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution

                              G
I know you've seen this before

                          Bm
And now enough is too much

                D                                 A
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes

         Em F# G
I'm sorry

         Em F# Bm
I'm sorry
[Bridge]
G    G   G  Em  A  A  A   F#     Em  Em Em   Bm
When the voices start spinning, just be aware

G G    G  Em   A A    A F#       Em Em Em   Bm
I have brought enough stones for us to share

G    G     G    Em   A    A     A   F#   Em  Em     Em    Bm
That one's grinning, that one's burning aim for the throat

G   G   G     Em A   A      A    F#    Em Em Em  Em
Let 'em choke on the stones that we are to throw

Em                  F#
It's the great downfall

G           A
The big overthrow

Em                F#
If you shoot them down

G              A
It'll make you soar
[Verse 3]
       Bm      D         G
When reactions turn into hurricanes

         Bm    D              G
And the middle ground seems a little tame

         Bm     D           G
Whether full or empty it's all the same

         Bm     D         Em        A                G
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, you're not to blame
[Chorus]
                             G
I know you've heard it before

                         Bm
But then it wasn't enough

                D                               A
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution

                            G
I know you've seen this before

                          Bm
But now enough is too much

                D                                 A
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes

         Em F# G
I'm sorry
