[Intro]
C#m F#m (x8)

[Verse 1]
C#m                                                   F#m
Can’t stop thinking about if and when I die
C#m                                                             F#m
For now I see that “if” and “when” are truly different cries
C#m                                                             F#m
For “if” is purely panic and “when” is solemn sorrow
C#m                                                                                 F#m
And one invades today while the other spies tomorrow
C#m                                         F#m
We’re surrounded and we’re hounded

C#m                                         F#m
There’s no “above”, or “under”, or “around” it
C#m                                                             F#m
For “above” is blind belief and “under” is sword to sleeve
C#m                                                                                 F#m
And “around” is scientific miracle, let’s pick “above” and see
C#m                                                             F#m
For if and when we go “above”, the question still remains
C#m                                                             F#m
Are we still in love and is it possible we feel the same?
C#m                                                                                 F#m
And that’s when going “under” starts to take my wonder
C#m                                         F#m
But until that time, I’ll try to sing this

[Chorus]
E                                         C#m
If I keep moving, they won’t know
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#
What they throw at me’s too slow
E
I’ll morph to someone else
C#m
I’m just a ghost
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#
Defense mechanism mode

[Verse 2]
C#m                                                             F#m
He’ll always try to stop me, that Nicholas Bourbaki
C#m                                                                                 F#m
He’s got no friends close but those who know him most know
C#m                                         F#m
He goes by Nico, he told me I’m a copy
C#m                                                             F#m
When I’d hear him mock me that’s almost stopped me
C#m                                                             F#m
Well we’re surrounded and we’re hounded
C#m                                                             F#m
There’s no above or a secret door. what are we here for
C#m                                                             F#m
If not to run straight through all our tormentors?
C#m                                         F#m
But until that time I’ll try and sing this

[Chorus]
E                                                             C#m
If I keep moving, they won’t know
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#
What they throw at me’s too slow
E
I’ll morph to someone else
C#m
I’m just a ghost
G#m
I’ll morph to someone else
F#
Defense mechanism mode

C#m9                                         F#m
Ones and zeroes, ergo this symphony
C#m9                                         F#m

How to play Morph: key, chords and progression

To play Morph by twenty one pilots, think in C♯ minor (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). It takes 10 chords: C#m, F#m, E, G#m, F#, C#m9, B, G, D and A.

Listen for E – C#m – G#m – F# (III – i – v – IV in C♯ minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Bm, Em, D, F#m, E, Bm9, A, F, C, G (60% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
