F C G

[Verse 1]

F C

I can't hide nothing anymore

E Am

She comes through the windows and up from the floor

F C G

And I'm breathing only second-hand air

F G Am Em

Second-hand vibrations rattle in my head

F C G

When I can't take the pain of being on my own

[Chorus]

I'm a snake in the woodpile

I'm an unravelled flag

I'm a burned downed house

G F C

I'm the thing you'll never get back

But swear to God you could

F C

I'm a dying star in your junkyard heart

Am G

And I'm some kid puking outside of some bar

F C G

Or maybe I'm just crazy

F C

Well that's alright with me

Am Em F C G

You and me and the stars sinking in Mercury

Am F C G

Oh, sinking in Mercury

[Chorus]

I'm a snake in the woodpile

I'm an unravelled flag

I'm a burned downed house

G F C

I'm the thing you'll never get back

But swear to God you could

F C

I'm a dying star in your junkyard heart

Am G

And I'm some kid puking outside of some bar

F C G

Or maybe I'm just crazy

F C

Well that's alright with me

Am Em F C G

You and me and the stars sinking in Mercury

Am F C G

Oh, sinking in Mercury

F C G

[Outro]
