[Verse 1]
EI've been climbing up the walls to escAmape the sinking feeling
But I can't hiEde from the nihilist at my doorAm  
EBuried in the basement floor, didn't kAmnow what I had planted
It blossomed with aEll the heart of a Cold WarAm  
[Pre-Chorus]
EI'm a spirit in a tomAmb
Won't somebody raise the rooEf
I'm going Cwhite, I'm going black, I'm going Amblue
Do you mind if I'm exhumeEd?
I'm the ashes in the pluAmme
I'm a beggar in the ruiEn
I'm peaking Cout, I'm burning up, I'm shooting Amthrough
AmI'm only lonely for the truth
[Chorus]
EParadise is in my soul, and I'm Dterrified I can't get out
I'm Clost in a labyrinth, we are Amlost in a labyrinth
EParadise is in my soul, and I'm Dterrified I can't get out
I'm Clost in a labyrinth, we are Amlost in a labyrinth

Light as a feather, stiff as a board
Sink to the floor, I sink to the floor

[Verse 2]
EmYou were in my dream last night, but your Dface was someone else's
A twitch in my Emspine, a mutual disorder
EmIsolation neophyte, too afrDaid to taste your conscience
You march in the Emdark, little lamb to the slaughter

[Verse 1]

E Am

I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling

E Am

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door

E Am

Buried in the basement floor, didn't know what I had planted

E Am

It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War

[Pre-Chorus]

E Am

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof

C Am

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm the ashes in the plume

I'm a beggar in the ruin

C Am

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the truth

[Chorus]

E D

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

C Am

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

E D

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

C Am

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

N.C.

Please, don't follow

[Interlude]

C Am

[Chorus]

E D Am

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

[Bridge]

N.C.

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

Sink to the floor, I sink to the floor

I sink to the floor

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

[Verse 2]

Em D

You were in my dream last night, but your face was someone else's

A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder

Em D

Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience

You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter

[Pre-Chorus]

E Am

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof

C Am

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm a beggar in the ruin

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the truth

[Chorus]

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

C Am

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

E D Am

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

C Am

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

[Post-Chorus]

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

E Am

I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
