Tom: G

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


[Chorus]
                       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   D7sus4

[Verse]
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


[Chorus]
                       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   D7sus4

[Chorus]
                       C                   Em
You thought God was an architect, now you know
                  C                  Em
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
