  (pause)   E minorEm      A augmentedA   C/GC/G
But everybody's bones are just holy branches
     D MajorD               E minorEm
Cast from trees to cut patterns into the world
    A augmentedA         C/GC/G
And in time we find some shelter
     D MajorD              A minorAm
Spill our leaves and then sleep in the Earth
        C/GC/G
And when we're there we'll belong
                       E minorEm
'cause the Earth don't give a damn if you're lost

E minorEm    G+G
Now I live alone
D MajorD          A augmentedA
Work in the belly of machines
          E minorEm
Wring my soot-black hands
   Dsus4/F# G+G
And I don't sleep much
D MajorD
Days don't feel different
     A augmentedA
From the nights
  (pause)      C/GC/G
With no goals in mind
     E minorEm      D MajorD
There's a hole in my chest
            A augmentedA
From the time i walked away
          C/GC/G
One i filled with sweat
        E minorEm           D MajorD (pause)
'cause now i know i'm nothin' they want

              E minorEm      A augmentedA   C/GC/G

     D MajorD               E minorEm
Ride the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves
    A augmentedA         C/GC/G
And in time we find some shelter
     D MajorD              C/GC/G
Spill our seeds and then wait for our turns
    E minorEm      D MajorD         A augmentedA
But for now we're adrift on the waves of discontent
          C/GC/G
Trying to carve our place
    E minorEm              D MajorD
All in hopes we'll be something they want
            E minorEm
But I'm not holding my breath

E minorEm   G+G   D MajorD   A minorAm x4

A augmentedA     C majorC        A augmentedA
Trace your fingers down my spine
A augmentedA     C majorC       A augmentedA
Make your home behind my eyes
A augmentedA    C majorC          A augmentedA
Line my skull with harmless lies
       C majorC       D MajorD       E minorEm
I'll bide my time until I'm something they want

End.
