A Tale Of Outer Suburbia Uke tab by Hands Like Houses

C                        Em        D
Pry the darkness from my eyes.
C                Am         Bm
Divided, let the light seep in.
C                                   Em         D
Trees devoid of branches and hollow hives. 
C                    Am    Em    Bm
An endless black and empty beds.

C                  Am
It's not the same, something's changed.
Em                 D                    C
I never used to be able to see past the trees.
           Am      Em                         Bm             Em   Bm   Am(drums)
A thousand unfamiliars are lying thick on the air and I can't breathe.


C                             Am                Em           D
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
C                      Am                           Em           G
This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.
C                             Am/Bm               Em           D
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
C                   Am                         Em           D
I'll tear apart the town then sleep, and sleep alone.

Em                                C               Am                           Em
If I'm a flame, I'm a forest fire speaking savage tongues as I emerge from the hills.
                   C
I am an avalanche, I am unchained.
Am                       C
I'm awoken, I'll unleash hell.
     Am                 Em                 D                  C   Am               Em    Bm
So I roar, pin back my ears, and stone by stone I'll tear it all, I'll tear it apart.

C                             Am                Em           D
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
C                      Am                           Em        (G)  D
This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.
C                             G                 Em          
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
                        D
(This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.)
C                   Am                         Em         
I'll tear apart the town then sleep, and sleep alone.
                         D                             C
(This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.)
           D                  Em
I've lost faith, the forest's changed.
             G                  C
My stomach's empty, I'm feeling faint.
          D                   Em
I've lost heart, the forest's scarred.
          G                   C
I hear no birds, just TVs and cars.
          D                    Em
I've lost faith, the forest's changed.
             G                  C
My stomach's empty, I'm feeling faint.

          D                    Em
I've lost sight, the forest's died.
                 G                    C
The brambles are bare, and I'm hollow inside.
            D                       Em G  C           D                        Em    G    Am 
Each breath rattles like dice in my chest, each breath gambled, unwinding till death.


C                             Am                Em           D
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
C                      Am                           Em        (G)  D
This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.
C                             G                 Em          
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
                        D
(This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.)
C                   Am                         Em         
I'll tear apart the town then sleep, and sleep alone.
                        D                              C
