Gadd9/D*
9:49 am you fall down and collapse
               G            D
you don't wake up for two hours
Gadd9
obviously you're ruined
                     G        D
lyin' outside on the ground unconscious
                   A
with collisions disabled

A
cannonballs and bombs
        G
are exploding overhead
A
poison pointed arrows
       G                  Gmaj7
are shooting through my chest
          A
i don't hear and i don't see
       G             D            (the note D)
so i guess it isn't happening to me

*the first time it appears in the song, it's just a Gadd9, regular inversion

C#m
nobody can hurt me
A
i bear no scars
C#m

F#m
but i can't tell you where they are

C#m                       G#m
i'm at the center of a wheel
                     C#m
i never touch the ground
                     G#m
so i never have to feel

F#/A#       G#
into a dust devil

A#m G#

F       Dm/F
i had a dream where
F       Dm/F
i had a snail and
F         A#/F      C
i kept it in a cage

Am/C          C
sometimes i'd let them
A#           Dm/A
out of their cage and
Am/C         C           A#  F/A
i'd let them crawl on me

G#/C
i finally caught one
  A#m/C#              C#
i caught a deer in my iron fetter trap
G#/C
i taught it to say i'm it's favorite
    A#m/C#           C#             Fm/C
but now it's started trying to walk around

and talk
       D#
to the other nearby deer

A#m/C#       C#             G#
can you stop wriggling free
A#m/C#           C#             G#
hey can you stop wriggling free
