Intro: C#m --E 

Go! C#m -E 


Verse 1:
 C#m 
Stapled shut Inside an
outside world and I'm
Sealed in tight
            E 
Bizarre but right at home
C#m 
Claustrophobic
Closing in and I'm
             E 
Catastrophic Not again
     C#m 
I’m smeared across the page
And doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain Yet
        E 
I'm the one who's obscene
C#m 
  Catch me up on all your sordid
little indiscretions
I've got no time to lose I'm just

caught up in all the cattle


Refrain 1:
C#m 
  Frey the strings…
Throw the shapes…
Hold your breath…
Listen!


Chorus:
C#m    E 
I am a world before I am a man
C#m     E 
I was a creature before I could stand
C#m      E                  F#m 
I will remember before I forget

  Before I forget that!
(Repeat)


Interlude: C#m -E 


Verse 2:
    C#m 
I'm ripped across the ditch
And settled in the dirt and I
Wear you like a stitch
            E 
Yet I'm the one who's hurt
C#m 
  Pay attention to your
twisted little indiscretions

I've got no right to win I'm
                  E 
just caught up in all the battles


Refrain 2:
C#m 
  Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
Listen!


(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
   D 
My end
   B            C#m 
It justifies my means
Abm                D 
All I ever do is delay
   B                 C#m 
My every attempt to evade
    Ab                     D 
The end of the road and my end
   D 
My end
   B            C#m 
It justifies my means
Abm                D 
All I ever do is delay
   B                 C#m 
My every attempt to evade
    Abm 
The end of the road


(Repeat Chorus thrice)


Outro:
C#m 
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah Oh!
