Verse 1:
Am               E
Rebuild my body, start it from scratch
                           Am
Again with my brain and my bones all detached
                    E
Put me in a jar and draw on a face
                        Am
Nothing is ever simple, I just live that way

Verse 2:
Am                     E
Broke all the mirrors, tore down the frames
                                    Am
There's glass on the floor, I think it hit my brain
                      E
Shut down the system, pull all the plugs
                               Am
The universe said that I would be someone

Pre-Chorus:
Dm                          Am
  Don't speak, this happens all the time
            G                       C           Em
There's something kinda ugly taking up my mind
Dm                      E
Don't leave, I promise, I'll be fine

Chorus:
Am                           E
Everybody's grabbing for the apple
                                     Am
Thinking if they have it, they'll be God's new fave
Am                            E
Everybody's praying for their shackles
                        N.C.
Casually bedazzling the ball and chain

Post-Chorus:
Am
Stuck in my head
E
Blood from my nose
E
Down on my knees
Am
Hung by my toes

Verse 3:
Am                   E
Darling, at night, I dream of the end
                          Am
I wake up and find, I'm alone in my bed
                        E
Cover the stitches with glitter and glue
                            Am
The older I get, the more I hate the truth

Pre-Chorus:
Dm                          Am
  Don't speak, this happens all the time
            G                       C           Em
There's something kinda ugly taking up my mind
Dm                      E
Don't leave, I promise, I'll be fine

Chorus:
Am                           E
Everybody's grabbing for the apple
                                     Am
Thinking if they have it, they'll be God's new fave
Am                            E
Everybody's praying for their shackles
                        N.C.
Casually bedazzling the ball and chain

Post-Chorus:
Am
Stuck in my head
E
Blood from my nose
E
Down on my knees
Am
Hung by my toes

Am
Head
E
Nose
E
Knees
Am
Toes

Bridge:
Am                           E
I feel my mortality like I'm staring down a gun

But I've got my finger on the trigger
                 Am
And the world is screaming at me, "Run"
                                           E
I feel the end of the universe, it's in my head all the time

It surrounds me, it's in me
            Am
I think the universe is mine

Outro:
Am                           E
Everybody's grabbing for the apple
                                     Am
Thinking if they have it, they'll be God's new fave
Am                            E
Everybody's praying for their shackles
                        N.C.
Casually bedazzling the ball and chain
