[Em] [E] [C#m]
[C] [D]
[E] And when I wake up [F#] in the morning, [C] do you feel the [D] daybreak [E] on my face?
There's a blood that's flowing [F#] through the ceiling, [C] with an eye to open [E] up the sky's veins.
Some things will [C#m] never change, [C] and you stand there looking back with a [D] grappling tongue
just from the pain, [E] and it may seem [C#m] rearranged.
[C] In the back wall, there's swirling, [D] there's something that'll [E] never change.
And when I should've been [F#] done a long time, [C] and laughed, and [E] said I'd find ways.
Just when we're sheltered [F#] under paper, [C] the rocket is loomed [E] at our sideways.
Some things will [C#m] never change, and [C] you stand there looking back with [D] a grappling tongue
just [Am] from the pain, [E] and it may seem [C#m] rearranged.
[C] In the back wall, there's swirling, [D] there's something that'll [E] never [F] change.
