I've Been Delivered

[E]  [B]  [A]  [E]
[A]  [B]  [A]  [E]

I c[E]ould break free from the  [B]
Wood of a c[A]offin
If I n[E]eed
But nothin's h[A]ard as
Gettin' fr[B]ee from places
[A]I've already b[E]een

[E]I've been waste-deep
In the [B]  burnin' m[A]eadows
Of my m[E]ind
In the [A]engine
In cold Dec[B]ember
Shootin' f[A]ire from the h[E]ose

[E]Now turn off your l[Abm]ights
'Cause I'm [C#m]    not comin' h[E]ome
'Til I'm del[A]ivered for the f[B]irst time [A]    [E]

[E]I was first-born to a [B]  parade
That f[A]ollows in r[E]ows
Down a n[A]arrow cold black r[B]iver
Faceless sh[A]adows
Movin' sl[E]ow

[E]I would move swift when
The [B]  sounds of a tr[A]umpet would bl[E]ow
I've been the p[A]uppet
I've been the str[B]ings
I know the v[A]acant face it br[E]ings

[E]Now the bells of curf[Abm]ew
They may r[C#m]ing before I'm thr[E]ough
[E]But soon
[A]I'll be delivered [B]  for the first t[A]ime  [E]

[E]You might keep clean
In the [B]  back of an [A]angel motorc[E]ade
It doesn't m[A]atter who walks [B]in
You know, the j[A]oke is still the s[E]ame
[E]You'll just wake up
Like a [B]  disposable l[A]over
Decomp[E]osed
I've been g[A]one
I've been rem[B]embered
I've been al[A]ive
I've been the gh[E]ost

[E]So now, if downtown expl[Abm]odes
I'll still [C#m]    be on this r[E]oad
'Til I'm del[A]ivered for the f[B]irst time  [A]     [E]

[E]I have drawn blood
From the [B]  neckline
When v[A]ampires were in f[E]ashion
You know I'd [A]  even learn
To c[B]ut my throat
If I th[A]ought I could fit [E]in

[E]'Cause I, I once heard
That you g[B]otta learn
How to bl[A]end in to this m[E]ess
Where nothin's h[A]ard
Nothin's pr[B]ecious
And nothin's sm[A]ooth or flawl[E]ess

[E]Now, no more am[Abm]used
Just [C#m]    screaming [E]to be del[A]ivered
For the f[B]irst time  [A]     [E]

[E]Now I'm 10 miles in the [B]  deep
And m[A]ighty blue s[E]ea
Looking b[A]ack, towards a l[B]ong white beach
Burnin' [A]up into yellow fl[E]ames

[E]And I just wave back
Like a l[B]ittle boy up on a p[A]ony
In a sh[E]ow
'Cause I can't f[A]ix
Something th[B]is complex
Any m[A]ore than I can build a r[E]ose

[E]So just keep on letting [Abm]go
'Cause I [C#m]    must be cl[E]ose
To being del[A]ivered for the f[B]irst time  [A]     [E]

[E]Now I'd rather bleed out
A l[B]ong stream from being l[A]onely
And feel bl[E]essed
Well than dr[A]own, laying f[B]ace down
In a p[A]uddle of resp[E]ect
[E]I was once lost
In the c[B]orridors of the ar[A]ena
In blindf[E]olds
I've been the b[A]ull
I've been the wh[B]ip
I just p[A]ulled down the matador  [E]

[E]So now, turn on your l[Abm]ights
'Cause I'm [C#m]    comin' h[E]ome
I've been del[A]ivered for the f[B]irst time  [A]     [E]

[E]  [B]  [A]  [E]
[A]  [B]  [A]  [E]
