Bm
  Bm    A   G(2x)
BmA mind as clear as a Acloudless sky
GNo room for rust, no room for settled dust
BmA waning wild thrown to Abygone days
GNo room for rust, no room for settled dust
[Chorus]
EmI’m growing black mud up around my veins
GAnd I’m going backwards, shutting out the name
BmBut it’s spiraling, Aspiraling into sGomething bigger (2x)
Is there soDmething bigger? (Em2x)B  
Bm  A  G
[Verse 2]
BmWide awake, but AI am sleeping
GNo room for rust, no room for settled dust
BmI’m lying naked, Adrunk and dreaming
GNo room for rust, no room for settled dust
[Chorus]
EmI’m growing black mud up around my veins
GAnd I’m going backwards, shutting out the name
BmBut it’s spiraling, Aspiraling into sGomething bigger (2x)
Is there sDomething bigger? Em(4x)B
