note: everything in the round brackets is what sounds better with the acoustic

G.... C....
Em(Am)
Your gross fabrication of pretense could bore,
Bm(G)
Yet still I fall victim to syntax omitted, Just shy of something I could understand
Em(Am)
So blissful, I press on to the sound of the organs
C(G)
Playing their most convincing tunes As they serenade to the parade of paid-off parts
Am
And now the only thing left to discuss is
Em
The details of this armistice
G Em
We've come to this agreement...
Am
Check my vitals; the truth is vile, but vital to this cause
C
I've been held hostage; A captive of this passive shell
G/B
Give me gravity, give me clarity,
C
Give me something to rely on
Am
We're all puppets {Tell me who's pulling the strings}
We're all marionettes
C/G
We're all puppets {Tell me who's that you move for}
We're all marionettes
Em(Am)
These body parts are parts of plans, Passed by my hands
Bm(G)
My hands shake through handshakes, Forsaken by my limbs
Em(Am)
My limbs sing the hymns; The hymns of a tyrant in a crumbling pantheon
C(G)
As inhabitants will raise their fists and bid him to disarm
Am
Check my vitals; the truth is vile, but vital to this cause
C
I've been held hostage; A captive of this passive shell
G
Give me gravity, give me clarity,
C
Give me something to rely on
