Verse 1:
    D                          F
You got an albatross around your neck
            Em   D
Around your neck
    D                      F                     C    D
You got one hundred broken lightbulbs above your head
     D                    F                     Em   D
They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet
          D                      F                        C    D
Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb and then you see red

Pre-Chorus:
   D    F   Em   D
Sunblind
   D    F   C    D
Sunblind

Verse II:
    D                          F
You got an albatross around your neck
            Em   D
Around your neck
    D                    F                    C    D
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed
        D                        F                     Em    D
And you got an hungry green eyed monster that you keep fed
       D               F                 C     D
And it keeps on coming over it wants you dead
Pre-Chorus:
   D    F   Em   D
Sunblind
   D    F   C    D
Sunblind

Chorus:
Bb      Gm       D
   You burnt the lungs
          D            Bb
That your ancestors created
    Gm         D
You sat by the banks
       D             Bb
Of the river and you waited
     Gm          D
Till time rolled back
        D          Bb
And the water had abated
    Gm         D
You drank your share
         D                 Bb
But you still could not be sated
     Gm           D
Quicksands of the mind
        D                 Bb
And the sinkholes you may find
     Gm       D
When you look through
    D               Bb     Gm    D  
The twisting of the vines

Bb     Gm    D

Bridge:
Bb         Gm
Time comes round
    D       D               Bb
The game is itching at your bone
      Gm         D
Chill wind comes round
     D                    Bb
It's blowing through your home
      Gm          D
Quicksands of the mind
        D                 Bb
And the sinkholes you may find
     Gm       D
When you look through
    D                 
The twisting of the vines

Chorus:
Bb      Gm       D
   You burnt the lungs
          D            Bb
That your ancestors created
    Gm         D
You sat by the banks
       D             Bb
Of the river and you waited
     Gm          D
Till time rolled back
        D          Bb
And the water had abated
    Gm         D
You drank your share
         D                 Bb
But you still could not be sated
     Gm           D
Quicksands of the mind
        D                 Bb
And the sinkholes you may find
     Gm       D
When you look through
    D               Bb     Gm    D
