Verse
E G
You got an albatross around your neck
F#m E
Around your neck
E G D E
You got a hundred broken lightbulbs above your head
E G F#m E
They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet
E G D E
Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb and then you see red
[Pre-Chorus]
E G F#m E
Sunblind
E G D E
Sunblind
[Verse 2]
E G
You got an albatross around your neck
F#m E
Around your neck
E G D E
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed
E G F#m E
And you got a hungry green eyed monster that you keep fed
E G D E
And it keeps on coming over it wants you dead
[Pre-Chorus]
E G F#m E
Sunblind
E G D E
Sunblind
[Chorus]
C Am E
Oh, You burnt the lungs
E C
That your ancestors created
Am E
You sat by the banks
E C
Of the river and you waited
Am E
Till time rolled back
E C
And the water had abated
Am E
You drank your share
E C
But you still could not be sated
Am E
Quicksands of the mind
E C
And the sinkholes you may find
Am E
When you look through
E C Am E
The twisting of the vines
E C Am E
(The twisting of the vines)
[Bridge]
C Am E
Time comes round again
E C
It's etching at your bones
Am E
Chill wind comes round
E C
It's blowing through your home
Am E
Quicksands of the mind
E C
And the sinkholes you may find
Am E
When you look through
E C
The twisting of the vines
[Chorus]
Am E
You burnt the lungs
E C
That your ancestors created
Am E
You sat by the banks
E C
Of the river and you waited
Am E
Till time rolled back
E C
And the water had abated
Am E
You drank your share
E C
But you still could not be sated
Am E
You said you're scared
E C
Of the clocks that keep ticking over
Am E
We'll find a way
E C
For a life that's worth living over
Am E
Again and again
E C
For a life that's worth living over
Am E
Again and again
C Am E E
C Am E
E C
For a life that's worth living over
Am E
Again and again
E
Again and again and
C Am
Again again
