[Intro] Am A G G [Verse 1]

Am
I dream in phosphorescence

                A
Bleed through spaces

See you drifting past the fog

G
 But no one told you where to go

G    Am
 We dive through crystal waters,

          A
perfect oceans

But no one told me not to breathe

G                                 G
 And now the weightlessness recedes

[Chorus]

Am
 My, my, those eyes like fire

I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre

A
    Come now, bite through these wires

I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired

G
 Reset my patient violence along both lines

of a pathway higher

F              Em
Grow back your sharpest teeth,

Dm
you know my desire

F
I will travel far beyond the path of reason

G
Take me back to Eden,

take me back to Eden [Bridge] A

D         C       D A
 Take me back to Eden

A B A# E C [Verse 2]

              E
Well yeah, I spit blood when I wake up

Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and makeup Just two days since the mainframe went

  C
 down and I'm still messed up

Room feels like a meat freezer, I dangle in it like cold cuts

                                     E
Missed calls, answered phones from people

I just don't trust Mirror talk, fake love But I'll take a pound of your flesh Before you take a piece of my paystub

C
White roses, black doves,

Godmother, rise up I need you to see me for what I have become [Chorus]

E
 My, my, those eyes like fire

I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre

C
 Come now, bite through these wires

I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired

A                         B
 Reset my patient violence along both

lines of a pathway higher

D
 Grow back your sharpest teeth, you

C
 know my desire

[Bridge] E F A E F D [Verse 3]

                       D
I guess it goes to show,

does it not?

                B
That we've no idea what we've got

            F#
until we lose it

          E       D
And no amount of love will keep it

     B
around

                 F#
If we don't choose it

        E         D
And I don't know what's got its teeth

    B
in me

                    F#
But I'm about to bite back in anger

     E        D
No amount of self-sought fury

          B
Will bring back the glory of

 F#   E  D
innocence

[Chorus]

F#
 My, my, those eyes like fire

I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre

D
 Come now, bite through these wires

I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired

B                          E
 Reset my patient violence along both lines

of a pathway higher

D
 Grow back your sharpest teeth, you

A            E
know my desire

[Outro]

D
I have traveled far beyond the path of reason

Take me back to Eden

                   D#
Take me back to Eden

[Fade Out]
