Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x4

(use the 2nd fret F#m and the open D, because you need to hit the F# on the high E

every time you play)

 I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open,

 That fixes all of life's mistakes

 I wanna be the house that you were raised in

 The only place that you feel safe

 I wanna be a shower in the morning

 That wakes you up and makes you clean

 I know I'm just the weather against your window

 As you sleep through a winter's dream

Someones churning the earth

 Someone's stirring the sky

Every color at once in a column of lights

Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide

The worm in my heart's the apple of your eye

 Don't adore what is impossible

 We have built this ship in a wine bottle

 But if you knew how it worked,

 We'd have to grow old

Bridge

x12

Someone's eating at you, wakes you up in the night

If you're digging the past, who knows what you'll find

Read the newspaper print off the microfiche slide

And you're holding your breath for the rest of your life

 Don't you love what is intangible

 I have built this ship in a wine bottle

 But if you knew who I waaaaaas...

 You would never grow old
