[G]
[D] Well, this stone that I [Em] have swallowed
[G] Isn't going down [D] so well
And this road that I [Em] have followed
Is [G] leading me [D]
to hell
And you said it [Em] didn't matter
But [G] I think you're [D] a liar
Is this one of [Em] your talons?
[G] Stokes the very [A] fire [D] that burns [A] you
[E] Each time you try [G] to land
The [A] earth will turn [D] below [A] you
[E] Pressure is building [G] and something has [D] to give
And [G]
[D]
[G]
[D] when I build you [Em] a stipple
You [G] say it's [D] incomplete
You need the whole [Bm] [Em] cathedral
[G] To satisfy [D] your need
And you're like a [G] paper airplane
That never [D] seems to land
Flying blind [Em] through anything
[G] Straight into [A] the hell [D] that chokes [A] you
[E] Each time you try [G] to land
[A] The earth will turn [D] below [A] you
[E] Pressure is building [G] and something [D] has to give
[Bm] [Em] [G] Something [D] has to give
[G] Something has [D] to give
Something
[Em] has to give
