[D]
[Bm]
I [D] got sunshine in my [A] stomach
Like [G] I just rocked my baby to sleep
I [Bm] got sunshine in [A] my stomach
[G] But I can't [A] keep me [G] from creeping [A] sleep
[G] Sleep [A]
deep in [Bm] the deep

[Bbm]
[Ebm] The rock face moves to press my [Bbm] skin
White liquid turns sour within
[Ebm] Turns fast, turns sour
[Bbm] Turns sweat, turns sour
[Ebm] Must tell myself that I'm not [Bbm] here
I'm drowning in a liquid fear
[Ebm] Bottled in a strong [Bbm] compression
My distortion shows [Ebm] obsession
In the cave, [Bbm]
get me out of [Ebm] this cave
[Bbm]
[Eb] If I keep self [Ab]-control, I'll [Eb] be safe in [Ab] my soul
In [Eb] a childhood
[Ab] relief, bring [Eb] some [Ab] moment's relief
But [Bb] my city [Dbm] soon returns and [Ab] the light goes burns
[Bb] My spirit [A] just
[Gb] melts
[Ebm]
Static tights, static mites
[Bbm]
Shut me in, lock me tight
[Ebm]
Lips are dry, throat is dry
[Bbm]
Feel that burning, stomach churning
[Ebm] I'm dressed up in a white costume
[Bbm]
Got an hour left over room
[Ebm]
Body is stretching, feel the [Bbm]
wrenching
In the [Ebm] cave, [Bbm]
get me out of the [Ebm] cave
[Bbm]
In the glare [Ab] of the light, I [Eb] see his face
Got [Ab] a sight, [Eb] now he just joins [Ab] the whole stock
[Eb] Person can't [Ab] go very far
[Bb] All right, there's me, [Ab] the unedited by the strings
[Bb] [A] Rejoice, in memories [Gb] of their wasted wings

cuts his head, so [Eb] slowly, but
[Bb] he can't be gone
And [Eb] he looks at me, without a sigh
[Bb]
But [Eb] he does not even wanna try [Bb] to speak
I'm [Eb] helpless in my violence [Bb] rage
And [Ab] a silent [Eb] tear of blood dribbles [Ab] down his [Eb] cheek
[Abm] And I watch him turn again and leave [Bb] the cage
[Eb] I'll run away
[Ab]
[Eb] Drops [Fm] [Bb]
[B]
keep falling, [Ebm]
and he keeps falling
And he keeps falling
[Bbm]
[Ebm]
[Bbm]
[Ebm] You're a child, fearless [Bbm] child
Holding still, pins per [Ebm] kill
Tongue stills narrow, but I'll mend [Bbm] it
In the bush, I'm straight and [Ebm] jagged
Just like 27th Street
[Bbm] When they grabbed me by my neck and [Ebm] feet
Precious building, ranting [Bbm] law
My head aches, charged, near age for [Ebm] all
Despair, [Bbm] get me out of [Ebm] this bed
I [Bbm]
[Eb] tried to [Ab] change the liquid
[Eb] I could feel the [Ab] cracks open their [Eb] bars
I know that I [Ab] started at [Eb] [Ab] [Dbm] a loss
I jump, disappear, [Ab] and my rage dissolves
[Bb] Without any [A] reason, my body [Gb] revolves
[Ebm]
Keep [Bbm] on turning, [Ebm] keep on turning
[Gb]
[Bbm] [Ebm] Turning
[Bbm]
[Ebm] around
[Bbm]
Just spinning [Ebm] around
