[Verse 1]
A D/F# A/G# E
If you don’t look down, the ground comes up to swallow you whole
A D/F# A/G# E
But you know where to go - it’s not the place but the people that make the home
[Chorus]
A E F#m D/F#
Open up your mouth, it’s the pill you never wanted to go down
A E F#m D/F# D7/F# D/F#
It’s too tough to swallow the way your father meant for you to go
[Verse 2]
A D/F# A/G# E
Everyone that you love is hoping you can find your way home
A D/F# A/G# E
But don’t know where you are - this house is going down and filled with smoke
[Chorus]
A E F#m D/F#
Open up your mouth - your body thanks your lung for its support
A E F#m D/F#
It’s too rough to swallow the smog you choke down, I’m saying something gold
A E F#m D/F#
Open up your mouth - it’s the words you never thought would come out
A E F#m D/F#
All the good that you swallow are nothing but a reason to stay home
A E F#m D/F#
I don’t want to grow old - I don’t want to die but there’s nowhere left to go
A E F#m D/F# D7/F# D/F#
Give a reason to follow - you are giving in, I’ll follow you home
A
