D Dmaj7 G Em Gmaj7 D x 2

verse 1

D Dmaj7 G
well this stone that i have swallowed
Em ( Gmaj7 ) D
isn’t going down so well ,
Dmaj7 G
and this road that i have followed
Em ( Gmaj7 ) D
is leading me to hell .
Dmaj7 G
you said it didn’t matter
Em ( Gmaj7 ) D
but i think you’re a liar .
Dmaj7 G
is this one of you talents
Em ( Gmaj7 ) A
that stokes the very fire .
A
it burns you .

chorus .

Em Gmaj7
each time you try to live ,
A
and the earth will turn below you ,
Em Gmaj7 D
the pressure is building and something has to give .

D Dmaj7 G Em Gmaj7 D x 2

verse 2

D Dmaj7 G
and when i build you a steeple
Em ( Gmaj7 ) D
you say it’s incomplete .
D Dmaj7 G
cause you need the whole cathedral
Em ( Gmaj7 ) D
to satisfy your needs .
D Dmaj7 G
you’re like a paper aeroplane
Em ( Gmaj7 ) D
that never seems to land .
D Dmaj7 G
flying blind through anything ,
Em ( Gmaj7 ) A
straight into the hand that chokes you .

chorus .

D Dmaj7 G Em Gmaj7 D
bridge

D Dmaj7 G Em Gmaj7 D
something has to give
D Dmaj7 G
something has to give
Em Gmaj7 D
something has to give
