[Riffs]
Riff 1: (When playing G in the verse)
e>--------------------------
B>--------------------------
G>--------------------------
D>--------------------------
A>--------------------------
E>----3-3-3-2-3p2-3p2-(5)---
The "(5)" is a ghost note that is not actually necessary but sounds nice.
Riff 2: (When playing Am(-C) in the chorus)
e>--------------------------
B>--------------------------
G>--------------------------
D>--------------------------
A>----2-0-0-3---------------
E>--------------------------
The final "3" is actually a whole C major chord, so I write it as "R2-C".

[Verse]
Em Em G
I saw a spaceship around
Em Em G
the planet where we were found
Am C Dadd9 (Am)
You turned up with a smile in your face
C Dadd9
And a miracle broken by
Em Em G
Dancing with the winners, all them serial killers
Em Em G
I got all my money from the non-believers
Am C Dadd9
Nothing is real
Am C
Head over heels
[Chorus]
G Am-C
And this could be over,
G Am-C
but I’m still around
G C G
I’m dime a dozen, mind in disorder, my life is broken
D
That’s what I’ve found.
Am Em Am Em Am Em D
Paranoia, self control, just hang on in there cause mine is gone.
[Verse]
Em Em G
Take all your dreams and put them underground
Em Em G (Am)
Ivory towers will give us the sun

Nothing is real
Am C
Head over heels
[Chorus]
G Am-C
And this could be over,
G Am-C
but I’m still around
G C G
I’m dime a dozen, mind in disorder, my life is broken
D
That’s what I’ve found.
Am Em Am Em Am Em D
Paranoia, self control, just hang on in there cause mine is gone.

Paranoia, self control, just hang on in there cause mine is gone.
