I've Been Delivered tab

E, B, A, E
A, B, A, E

   E                         B
I could break free from the
           A
Wood of a coffin
      E
If I need
              A
But nothin's hard as
          B
Gettin' free from places
A             E
I've already been

E
I've been waste-deep
       B          A
In the   burnin' meadows
       E
Of my mind
       A
In the engine
           B
In cold December
          A             E
Shootin' fire from the hose

E                  G#m
Now turn off your lights
           C#m             E
'Cause I'm     not comin' home
            A               B         A  E
'Til I'm delivered for the first time

E                     B
I was first-born to a   parade
      A          E
That follows in rows
        A                 B
Down a narrow cold black river
           A
Faceless shadows
         E
Movin' slow

E
I would move swift when
    B               A             E
The   sounds of a trumpet would blow
               A
I've been the puppet
                 B
I've been the strings
            A               E
I know the vacant face it brings

E                    G#m
Now the bells of curfew
          C#m               E
They may ring before I'm through
E
But soon
A                 B                A    E
I'll be delivered   for the first time

E
You might keep clean
       B            A           E
In the   back of an angel motorcade
            A               B
It doesn't matter who walks in
               A                 E
You know, the joke is still the same
E
You'll just wake up
       B             A
Like a   disposable lover
      E
Decomposed
           A
I've been gone
             B
I've been remembered
            A
I've been alive
                E
I've been the ghost

E                       G#m
So now, if downtown explodes
           C#m             E
I'll still     be on this road
            A               B          A  E
'Til I'm delivered for the first time

E
I have drawn blood
         B
From the   neckline
      A                E
When vampires were in fashion
             A
You know I'd   even learn
    B
To cut my throat
       A                 E
If I thought I could fit in

E
'Cause I, I once heard
          B
That you gotta learn
         A               E
How to blend in to this mess
                A
Where nothin's hard
           B
Nothin's precious
               A            E
And nothin's smooth or flawless

E              G#m
Now, no more amused
     C#m           E        A
Just     screaming to be delivered
         B          A  E
For the first time

E                       B
Now I'm 10 miles in the   deep
     A           E
And mighty blue sea
         A               B
Looking back, towards a long white beach
        A                E
Burnin' up into yellow flames

E
And I just wave back
        B                  A
Like a little boy up on a pony
       E
In a show
                A
'Cause I can't fix
            B
Something this complex
     A                       E
Any more than I can build a rose

E                       G#m
So just keep on letting go
         C#m           E
'Cause I     must be close
            A               B          A  E
To being delivered for the first time

E
Now I'd rather bleed out
   B                      A
A long stream from being lonely
           E
And feel blessed
            A            B
Well than drown, laying face down
      A            E
In a puddle of respect
E
I was once lost
        B                 A
In the corridors of the arena
         E
In blindfolds
               A
I've been the bull
                B
I've been the whip
        A                       E
I just pulled down the matador

E                     G#m
So now, turn on your lights
           C#m         E
'Cause I'm     comin' home
             A               B          A  E
I've been delivered for the first time

E, B, A, E
A, B, A, E
