*Now here are the chords played throughout
[Verse 1]
Em
When the words
D C D
Weigh heavy on the heart
Em
I am lost
D C D
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]
Em D
Breathe in, breathe out
C
Let the human in
Em D
Breathe in, breathe out
C
And let it in
Em D
Plants awoke and they slowly grow
C
Beneath the skin
Em D
So breathe in, breathe out
C
Let the human in
[Verse 2]
Em D
The air is silk
C D
Shadows form a grin
Em D
If I lose control
C D
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]
Em D
Breathe in, breathe out
C
Let the human in
Em D
Breathe in, breathe out
C
And let it in
Em D
Plants awoke and they slowly grow
C
Beneath the skin
Em D
So breathe in, breathe out
C
Let the human in
