[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7   Am
Hey, oh
       Fmaj7  Am
I'm in jail
     Fmaj7   Am
Body failed
         Fmaj7     Am
Now it's me and my iron lung
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Wrapped in iron
     Am
Deathless purgatory
         Fmaj7
Negative pressure
               Am
Airless breath
Fmaj7
Wrapped in iron
     Am
Deathless purgatory
         Fmaj7
Positive pressure
              Am
Airless death
 
 
[Verse 3]
       Fmaj7
It's a different kind of cuttlefish
Am
Swing and a miss
Fmaj7
Dancing with my eyes and lips
Am
Can't move my hips
Fmaj7                            Am
Keep my mind distracted from the swish-swish
Fmaj7
Staying sane and positive
      Am
Can't crumble like a biscuit
 
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
Iron  lung

Metallic cocoon boredom

Bionic boy
Am
Pump my organs
Fmaj7
Centre gravity
Fmaj7
Planet me
Am
Gimme the mushrooms
Am
Time to leave

Every breath is in uphill battle

F
Cylindrical prison
       Am
Newly arisen
                   F
Chained to a giant paper weight
      Am
Pain abates yet
 
Fmaj7
Darkness permeates
      Am
Wallows my toes
           Fmaj7
Burdens my chest
                            Am
My brain is pressed with an iron chest
 
 
[Chorus]
