[Intro]
Fmaj7  Am  Fmaj7  Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7   Am
Hey, oh
       Fmaj7  Am
I'm in jail
     Fmaj7   Am
Body failed
         Fmaj7     Am
Now it's me and my iron lung
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Wrapped in iron
     Am
Deathless purgatory
         Fmaj7
Negative pressure
               Am
Airless breath
Fmaj7
Wrapped in iron
     Am
Deathless purgatory
         Fmaj7
Positive pressure
              Am
Airless death
 
 
[Verse 3]
       Fmaj7
It's a different kind of cuttlefish
Am
Swing and a miss
Fmaj7
Dancing with my eyes and lips
Am
Can't move my hips
Fmaj7                            Am
Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
Fmaj7
Staying sane and positive
      Am
Can't crumble like a biscuit
 
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung
 
 
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7
Space shuttle
Fmaj7
Snail shell
Am
Merry-go-round
Am
Conveyor belt
    Fmaj7
The army tank ventilator
  Am
Mechanical bull respirator
Fmaj7
Metallic cocoon boredom
Am
Bionic boy
Am
Pump my organs
Fmaj7
Centre gravity
Fmaj7
Planet me
Am
Gimme the mushrooms
Am
Time to leave
 
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung

Frog breath, steam tent

Neck paralysis

Scared precarious

Neck paralysis
   G       Am    Em
Congestion in my chest
Am       G      Am G      Am     G   Am
Pins and needles   like a voodoo evil
              G
Got my doctor baffled
      Am           G      Dm    Em
Every breath is in uphill battle
Am   G             Am
Frog breath, steam tent
G
Neck paralysis
Am G       Am
Congestion in my chest

The ship sailed

[Verse 8]
F
Cylindrical prison
       Am
Newly arisen
                   F
Chained to a giant paper weight
      Am        F
Pain abates yet darkness permeates
        Am
Wallows my toes
Am
Burdens my chest
F                           Am
My brain is pressed with an iron chest
 
 
[Chorus]

Hey, oh
I'm in jail
Body failed
Now it's me and my iron lung
Wrapped in iron
Deathless purgatory
Negative pressure
Airless breath
Wrapped in iron
Breathless purgatory
Positive pressure
Airless death

It's a different kind of cuttlefish
Swing and a miss
Dancing with my eyes and lips
Can't move my hips
Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
Staying sane and positive
Can't crumble like a biscuit
