the tuning is for the acoustic version, if you want it to be the same as the original song, transpose a
semitone down (:

Am G F C x2
[verse 1]
Am
I'm taking over my body
G
Back in control, no more shotty
F
I bet a lot of me was lost
C
"T"'s uncrossed and "I"'s undotted
Am G F
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got
C
Not any more, flesh out the door, swat
Am G
I must'a forgot, you can't trust me
F
I'm open a moment and close when you show it
C
Before you know it I'm lost at sea
Am G
And now that I write and think about it
F
And the story unfolds
C
You should take my life
Am G F C
You should take my so - o - o - o - o - oul

[pre-chorus]
F Am C G
You are surrounding all my surroundings
F Am C
Sounding down the mountain range
G F
Of my left-side brain
Am C G
You are surrounding all my surroundings

Twisting the kaleidoscope
G
Behind both of my eyes
[chorus]

Am
Remember the moment
G
You know exactly where you're goin'
F
'Cause the next moment before you know it
C Am
Time is slowin' and it's frozen still
G
And the windowsill looks really nice, right?
F C
You think twice about your life
Am
It probably happens at night, right?
G
Fight it, take the pain, ignite it
F
Tie a noose around your mind
C
Loose enough to breath fine and tie it
Am
To a tree tell it,
G F
You belong to me, this ain't a noose
C
This is a leash and I have news for you, you must obey me!

Lyrics that mean nothing

We were gifted with thought

To an introspective beat

It ain't the speakers that bump hearts
