Em                       Am                  D
He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack
    Em                      D
His backpack is all that he knows
Em                           Am             D
Shot down by strangers Whose glances can cripple
    Em            Am        D
The heart and devour the soul


Chorus:
Em          C
All alone he turns to stone
      G                          D   Am
While holding his breath half to death
Em          C
Terrified of what's inside
   G                Am             D          Em
To save his life He crawls like a worm from a bird
Am            D            Em
Crawls like a worm from a bird



Verse 2:
Em                       Am                  D
Out of his mind The weight pushes him whispering
Em                        Am
Must have been out of his mind 
Em                    Am               D
Mid-day delusions are pushing this out of his 
Em                   Am
head Maybe out of his mind
 Am          D
Out of his mind


Chorus:
Em          C
All alone he turns to stone
      G                          D   Am
While holding his breath half to death
Em          C
Terrified of what's inside
   G                Am             D          Em
To save his life He crawls like a worm from a bird
Am            D            Em
Crawls like a worm from a bird




Bridge:
Em       D
All he knows
   Em                   D
If he can't relieve it grows
    Em      D
And so it grows
    Em
He crawls like a worm
Em
Crawls like a worm from a bird


Verse 3:
Em                        Am             D
Out of his mind The weight pushes him whispering
Em                         D
Must have been out of his mind 


Chorus:
Em          C
All alone he turns to stone
      G                          D   Am
While holding his breath half to death
Em          C
Terrified of what's inside
   G                Am             D          Em
To save his life He crawls like a worm from a bird
Am            D            Em
Crawls like a worm from a bird

Chorus:
Em          C
All alone he turns to stone
      G                          D   Am
While holding his breath half to death
Em          C
Terrified of what's inside
   G                Am             D          Em
To save his life He crawls like a worm from a bird
Am            D            Em
Crawls like a worm from a bird
