*Now here are the chords played throughout
[Verse 1]
Em When the words DCD Weigh heavy on the heart Em I am lost DCD And led only by the stars
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cage me like an animal D A crown with gems and gold C Eat me like a cannibal D Chase the neon throne
[Chorus]
EmD Breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in EmD Breathe in, breathe out C And let it in EmD Plants awoke and they slowly grow C Beneath the skin EmD So breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in
[Verse 2]
EmD The air is silk CD Shadows form a grin EmD If I lose control CD I feed the beast within
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cage me like an animal D A crown with gems and gold C Eat me like a cannibal D Chase the neon throne
[Chorus]
EmD Breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in EmD Breathe in, breathe out C And let it in EmD Plants awoke and they slowly grow C Beneath the skin EmD So breathe in, breathe out C Let the human in
