[Verse 1]
D F
You got an albatross around your neck
Em D
Around your neck
D F C D
You got a hundred broken lightbulbs above your head
D F Em D
They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet
D F C D
Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb and then you see red
[Pre-Chorus]
D F Em D
Sunblind
D F C D
Sunblind
[Verse 2]
D F
You got an albatross around your neck
Em D
Around your neck
D F C D
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed
D F Em D
And you got a hungry green eyed monster that you keep fed
D F C D
And it keeps on coming over it wants you dead
[Pre-Chorus]
D F Em D
Sunblind
D F C D
Sunblind
[Chorus]
Bb Gm D
Oh, You burnt the lungs
D Bb
That your ancestors created
Gm D
You sat by the banks
D Bb
Of the river and you waited
Gm D
Till time rolled back
D Bb
And the water had abated
Gm D
You drank your share
D Bb
But you still could not be sated
Gm D
Quicksands of the mind
D Bb
And the sinkholes you may find
Gm D
When you look through
D Bb Gm D
The twisting of the vines
D Bb Gm D
(The twisting of the vines)
[Bridge]
Bb Gm D
Time comes round again
D Bb
It's etching at your bones
Gm D
Chill wind comes round
D Bb
It's blowing through your home
Gm D
Quicksands of the mind
D Bb
And the sinkholes you may find
Gm D
When you look through
D Bb
The twisting of the vines
[Chorus]
Gm D
You burnt the lungs
D Bb
That your ancestors created
Gm D
You sat by the banks
D Bb
Of the river and you waited
Gm D
Till time rolled back
D Bb
And the water had abated
Gm D
You drank your share
D Bb
But you still could not be sated
Gm D
You said you're scared
D Bb
Of the clocks that keep ticking over
Gm D
We'll find a way
D Bb
For a life that's worth living over
Gm D
Again and again
D Bb
For a life that's worth living over
Gm D
Again and again
Bb Gm D D
Bb Gm D
D Bb
For a life that's worth living over
Gm D
Again and again
D
Again and again and again
Bb Gm
Again again
D
You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck
You got a hundred broken lightbulbs above your head
They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet
'Cause you got a slowly ticking time bomb,
And then you see red.
Sunblind, sunblind
You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed
And you got a hungry green-eyed monster that you keep fed
And it keeps on coming over, it wants you dead
Sunblind, sunblind
Oh, you burnt the lungs that your ancestors created
You sat by the banks of the river and you waited
Till time rolled back and the water had abated
You drank, you share but you still could not be sated
Quicksands of the mind and the sinkholes you may find
When you look through the twisting of the vines,
The twisting of the vines.
Time comes round again, it's etching at your bones
Chill wind comes round, it's blowing through your home
Quicksands of the mind and the sinkholes you may find
When you look through the twisting of the vines.
You burnt the lungs that your ancestors created
You sat by the banks of the river and you waited
Till time rolled back and the water had abated
You drank, you share but you still could not be sated
You said you're scared of the clocks that keep ticking over
I'll find a way through a life that we're living over
Again and again through a life that we're living over, again and again
A life that we're living over,
Again and again, again and again and again
Again and again, again and again and again
