[Verse 1]
         Bb
You're inaudible
                    F
Thrown away like an audible
                      Cm
Wheel you down to the old folks home
                    F
Are you listening to me?
         Bb
I'm your obstacle
                       F
Dad would tell you, "Impossible"
                 Cm
So my options are optional
                  F
Do you see what I mean?
You're mumbling

[Chorus]
Bb               Dm     F
"Afterlife? Some wasted light"
        Gm            F        Eb
And the notion you'll never be free
    Bb             F       Gm
So, spend all your time on money
        F           Eb
'Cause money is the only
          Ebm
thing you need

[Verse 2]
     Bb
So I catapult
                   F
I jump you like an animal
                      Cm
You bite back like an animal
                   F
And we both try to leave
You're mumbling

[Chorus]
Bb               Dm     F
"Afterlife? Some wasted light"
        Gm            F        Eb
And the notion you'll never be free
    Bb             F       Gm
So, spend all your time on money
        F           Eb
'Cause money is the only
          Ebm
thing you need

[Post-Chorus]
Bb      F      Gb      Ab

[Bridge]
Bb
Now that you're clawing the top
                    Db
and it's taken your air
        Gb
Are you here but in some
ways you vanished?
        Ab
Are you clear but you're
lost in the wind?
           Bb
Now you're clawing the top and
                        Db
it's finally taken your air
        Gb
Are you clean,
but you're finally forsaken?
        Ab
Are you washing it out
with your hands?
Bb      Db      Gb
Ohh     Ohh     Ohh

[Outro]
        Ab
Are you washing it out
with your hands?
Bb      Db      Gb
Ohh     Ohh     Ohh
        Ab
Are you washing it out
with your hands?
