B - x24442
G#m - 466444

   E                         B
I could break free from the

           A
Wood of a coffin

      E
If I need

              A
But nothin's hard as

          B
Gettin' free from places

A             E
I've already been

E
I've been waste-deep

       B          A
In the   burnin' meadows

       E
Of my mind

       A
In the engine

           B
In cold December

          A             E
Shootin' fire from the hose

E                  G#m
Now turn off your lights

           C#m             E
'Cause I'm     not comin' home

            A               B         A  E
'Til I'm delivered for the first time

E                     B
I was first-born to a   parade

      A          E
That follows in rows

        A                 B
Down a narrow cold black river

           A
Faceless shadows

         E
Movin' slow

E
I would move swift when

    B               A             E
The   sounds of a trumpet would blow

               A
I've been the puppet

                 B
I've been the strings

            A               E
I know the vacant face it brings

E                    G#m
Now the bells of curfew

          C#m               E
They may ring before I'm through

E
But soon

A                 B                A    E
I'll be delivered   for the first time

E
You might keep clean

       B            A           E
In the   back of an angel motorcade

            A               B
It doesn't matter who walks in

               A                 E
You know, the joke is still the same

E
You'll just wake up

       B             A
Like a   disposable lover

      E
Decomposed

           A
I've been gone

             B
I've been remembered

            A
I've been alive

                E
I've been the ghost

E                       G#m
So now, if downtown explodes

           C#m             E
I'll still     be on this road

            A               B          A  E
'Til I'm delivered for the first time

E
I have drawn blood

         B
From the   neckline

      A                E
When vampires were in fashion

             A
You know I'd   even learn

    B
To cut my throat

       A                 E
If I thought I could fit in

E
'Cause I, I once heard

          B
That you gotta learn

         A               E
How to blend in to this mess

                A
Where nothin's hard

           B
Nothin's precious

               A            E
And nothin's smooth or flawless

E              G#m
Now, no more amused

     C#m           E        A
Just     screaming to be delivered

         B          A  E
For the first time

E                       B
Now I'm 10 miles in the   deep

     A           E
And mighty blue sea

         A               B
Looking back, towards a long white beach

        A                E
Burnin' up into yellow flames

E
And I just wave back

        B                  A
Like a little boy up on a pony

       E
In a show

                A
'Cause I can't fix

            B
Something this complex

     A                       E
Any more than I can build a rose

E                       G#m
So just keep on letting go

         C#m           E
'Cause I     must be close

            A               B          A  E
To being delivered for the first time

E
Now I'd rather bleed out

   B                      A
A long stream from being lonely

           E
And feel blessed

            A            B
Well than drown, laying face down

      A            E
In a puddle of respect

E
I was once lost

        B                 A
In the corridors of the arena

         E
In blindfolds

               A
I've been the bull

                B
I've been the whip

        A                       E
I just pulled down the matador

E                     G#m
So now, turn on your lights

           C#m         E
'Cause I'm     comin' home

             A               B          A  E
I've been delivered for the first time
