G D/F#
Dear blackhole
Em
will you read this?
G D/F#
I lost control
Em
at the wheel
G
I watched the oceans
C
drown every city
G
From my penthouse suite
D C
I leave the TV on
G D
The sound of the chatter
Em C
keeps me from getting lonely
G D C
All the kids are gone
G
And I've been swimming in
C G
this pool of money I'm rich
D C
like a dead king they say
G D
My name rings out on
Em C
those pathetic streets
G D
A hollow sound a dead
C
wind on the edge of town
Em D C
I'll make them love me
G D
Or I'll buy and sell
C
their sorry souls
Em D
The oil is beautiful
C G
it's flowing I don't
D C
feel empty anymore
Post Chorus
G D/F# Em D C
G
I live in cold blood in a
C
house with a thousand doors
G D
When the boiler growls a
C
hundred tigers keep me warm
G D
I'll live forever,charge
Em C
days to my credit card
G D
I own the future and I
C
own what's left of yours
Em D C
I'll make them love me
G D
Or I'll buy and sell
C
their sorry souls
Em D
The oil is beautiful
C G
it's flowing I don't
D C
feel empty anymore
Em D
Dear blackhole
C
will you hear me?
G D
We lost control
Em
We lost control
C
We lost control
Em D
Dear blackhole
C
will you hear me?
G D
We lost control
C
at the wheel
Outro
