Intro: Bb Bb Bb Bb F F F F

Bb                Bb
Neck, chest, waist to floor
F                    F
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
Bb                         Bb
Make me a deal, a day a piece
F                    F
Take it all, just stay a week

Bb                                   Bb
Iʼll take you in pieces, we can take it all apart
F                                     F
Iʼve suffered shipwrecks right from the start
Bb                              Bb
Iʼve been underwater, breathing out and in
F                                          F
I think Iʼm losing where you end and I begin

Eb              Bb
Basic space, open air
Eb                                     Bb
Donʼt look away, when thereʼs nothing there

Eb
Iʼm setting us in stone
Bb
Piece by piece, before Iʼm alone
Eb
Air tight, before we break
Bb
Keep it in, keep us safe

Eb
Itʼs a pool of boiling wax Iʼm getting in
         Bb
Let it set got to seal this in,
Eb
Canʼt adjust, Canʼt relearn
           Bb
Got to keep what I have, preserve

Eb                Bb
Basic space, open air
Eb                                     Bb
Donʼt look away, when thereʼs nothing there

Bb
Hot wax has left me with a shine
F
Wouldnʼt know if Iʼd been left behind
Bb                 F
Second skin, second skin

Bb                     F
I canʼt let it out, I still let you in
Bb                     F
I canʼt let it out, I still let you in
