Intro:

N.C N.C
Am  G | Am  F G (x2)

Verse 1:
Am                G
  This house is no place
Am                F
  No road leads up here
Am          G  Am               G
  Just an empty space on the map
Am              G              Am          F
  And now I wonder if you were ever around

Am   G | Am   F G

Verse 2:
Am                 G
  My words are shortcuts
Am             F
  No one can follow
Am                G
  My movements mindless
Am              G
  Old lines of code
Am              G                Am         F Fsus2
  A writhing chorus that crawled into my ear
Am               G                  Am
  While I was sleeping on the couch

Chorus:
     C                 G       F
God, how am I meant to get you out
 C       G
Of my mind?
Am              G        F
Why do you keep hanging around
     C        G
Way past your time?
                   Am      G       F
What's it going to take to get the taste
            C                E7
Of your name off my tongue?
               Am G    F
Bring me a pair of tweezers
     Fm*
I'll pluck the buds out one by one

Interlude:
C   Em     Am

  Fm        C     E Em
  Mmmm Mmmm Mm
Am Asus2 Fm

Verse 3:
N.C.
  This house is lonely
N.C.               F
  It wants to keep me
Am             G     Am           G
  Its corridors twist in on themsеlves
Am                G          Am          F Fsus2
  And now I wonder if I will evеr get out

Am  G | Am  F G

Verse 4:
Am            G   Am           F
  My shadow dances beyond the candle
Am          G    Am         G
  My echo answers before I speak
Am               G           Am             F Fsus2
  And my reflection breathes lungfuls of fog
Am          G            Am
  On the far side of the glass

Chorus:
     C                 G       F
God, how am I meant to get you out
   C        G
 Of my mind?
Am              G       F
Why do you keep hanging around
     C        G
Way past your time?
                 Am     G       F
I see you in the dark behind my eyelids
        C             E7
When I'm trying to sleep
               Am G      F
Bring me a pack of steel wool
     Fm
I'll scour the cornea until it's
 C    E Em   Am Asus2
Clean
Fm
Ohhhh

Bridge:
C             E7
  Comfortable and effortless
Am       Fm
  Like a familiar hymn
C   E
  I sing while I think
Am      F          Fsus2
  About something else
C                   E7
  Somewhere there's somebody new
Am Fm
  About to meet you
Am    F          Gsus4  G
  I remember the feeling

Chorus: (top 4 strings only)
N.C.                                F
God, how am I meant to get you out
  C       G
Of my mind?
Am              G               F
Why do you keep hanging around
      C              G
Way past your time?
                   Am      G       F
What's it going to take to get the taste
            C                E7
Of your name off my tongue?
               Am G     F *
Bring me a pair of tweezers
