[Intro]
C Cmaj7 Am G x2
 
[Verse 1]
C              Cmaj7       Am           G
  Hand me your hand let me look in your eyes 
       C                  Cmaj7   Am          G
as my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize 
C              Cmaj7        Am             G
maybe it’s the heat in here maybe it’s the pressure 
F                         F
you ought to head for the exits the sooner the better
 
[Chorus]
          C        Cmaj7  Am                G
I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam 
    C             Cmaj7            Am               G
And no one in her right mind would make my home her home
               F
My heart is an autoclave
               C         C/B   Am   G
My heart is an autoclave
 
[Instrumental]
C C/B Am G
 
[Verse 2]
       C           Cmaj7       Am             G
When I try to open up to you I get completely lost
C                Cmaj7        Am                 G
Houses swallowed by the earth windows thick with frost
      C                   Cmaj7      Am                 G
And I reach deep down within but the pathways twist and turn
            F                     F
And there’s no light anywhere and nothing left to burn
 
[Chorus]
              C       Cmaj7  Am                G
And I am this great unstable mass of blood and foam
        C                   Cmaj7      Am                G
And no emotion that’s worth having can call my heart its home
               F
My heart is an autoclave
               C         C/B   Am   G
My heart is an autoclave
 
[Instrumental]
C C/B Am G x4
 
[Verse 3]
  C                 Cmaj7          Am              G
I dreamt that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls
     C               Cmaj7         Am                 G
On a cliff above the ocean howling wind and shrieking seagulls
        C                Cmaj7    Am            G
And the dream went on forever one single static frame
    F                               F
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name
 
[Chorus]
          C      Cmaj7    Am                G
I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam 
      C           Cmaj7            Am               G
And no one in her right mind would make her home my home
               F
My heart is an autoclave
               C         C/B   Am   G
My heart is an autoclave
 
[Outro]
C C/B Am G x4
