Intro:

F#m F#m x2
D D x2
E E F#m F#m
D D x2

Verse 1:
F#m
Don’t you wanna ask me how little I know
         D
In the grass outside the fence where its' all overgrown?
              E
And it's not feelin' any better
            F#m          A                D
The same clenching in my throat, oh, no

Verse 2:
F#m
And, the wolves, they will surround you 'til the circle is closed
        D
Chewing holes into your sneakers when you get too close
           E
And it's delusion, but it's peaceful
           F#m       A           D
That this body is not your own

Chorus:
            F#m     A    D
'Til the ground pulls you down
         E               F#m       A     D
To the dirt I knew we’d always come back to
     F#m     A    D
And how do I feed you?
              E                 F#m     A          D
And will you keep this up 'til somethin' completes you?

Post-Chorus:
F#m E  D  D
Hm, hm-mm
F#m E  D  D
Hm-mm, mhm-mm

Verse 3:
F#m
Is it better when you lеave?
       D
But the lines arе all withdrawn
                E       F#m       A            D
And, you can’t see the path that you are on
 F#m                                    D
All of a sudden, they’re cuttin' the wings from off my back

Pre-Chorus:
            E
Head on the sofa
         F#m       A
Hands on my lap
        D
I want it back

Chorus:
            F#m     A      D
'Til the ground pulls you down
         E               F#m       A     D
To the dirt I knew we’d always come back to
     F#m     A      D
And how do I feed you?
              E                 F#m     A         D
And will you keep this up 'til somethin' completes you?

Post-Chorus:
F#m E  D  D
Hm, hm-mm
F#m E  D  D
Hm-mm, mhm-mm
