  			G 
This is how you make yourself vanish into nothing 
    C                                         
And this is how you make yourself worthy of the love that she 
Em                                               D 
Gave to you back when you didn’t own a beautiful thing 

G 
This is how you make yourself call your mother 
    C 
And this is how you make yourself closer to your brother 
     Em                                                    D 
And remember him back when he was small enough to help you sing 

                       C                   Em 
You thought God was an architect, now you know 
                      C                  Em 
He’s something like a pipe bomb ready to blow 
                   C                    Em              D 
And everything you built that’s all for show goes up in flames 
            C    Em   C   G   D   C   G   D7

G 
This is how you see yourself floating on the ceiling 
    C 
And this is how you help her when her heart stops beating 
     Em                                                      D 
What happened to the part of you that noticed every changing wind 

G 
This is how you talk to her when no one else is listening 
     C 
And this is how you help her when the muse goes missing 
    Em                                        D 
You vanish so she can go drowning in a dream again 

                       C                   Em 
You thought God was an architect, now you know 
                      C                  Em 
He’s something like a pipe bomb ready to blow 
                   C                    Em              D 
And everything you built that’s all for show goes up in flames

You thought God was an architect, now you know

He’s sitting in a black car ready to go 
                  C                  Em              
You made some new friends after the show 
                        D 
But you’ll forget their names 
             C   Em   C
