Satellite Skin
Normal tuning
Intro:
E B A E
E B
If you break these moth wing feelings
A
Powdery dust on your fingers
E
Well no we're not praying we're kneeling.
B
Hard enough just to say you believe them
A
Well how the heck'dya think you could beat them
E
At the same time that you're trying to be them
B
Hard enough just to say you don't need it when they
A
Serve it up well you will still eat it
E
Well satellite and satellite skin
E B
Just to knock just to say you don't visit
A
Well, when everybody's willing to listen
E
Oh satellite, satellite skin
B
You can say what you want you're forgiven
A
Well happy fucking congratulations
E
Everyone, everyone wins
B
Just like being my own solar system
A
Doing good things but then totally eclipse them
Oh what's the use, oh what the hell

E B
If you break these moth wing feelings
A
Butterfly knives in the ceiling
E
Well everyone, everyone's waiting
B
Detachments get praised and completed
A
You can say what you want and not mean it
E
When no one really seems to be waiting
B
If you sweep up this mess I've created
A
Nothing's left to show I existed
E
Oh satellite, satellite skin
Bridge:
(no chord) A
Asking for a question
B C# A B
Was it easier said than was actually done?
C# A
Do you even believe that
B C# A
Do you even believe that there's a race to be won?

E B
If you break these moth wing feelings
A
I have seen it all become satellite skin
E
Orbiting some eyes
E B
A knack to not thats not their opinions
A E
Get stacked in all those usual avoided spots
E B
Just to tell you how I could not have seen
A
Through to the gist of those unhappy
E
Happy accidents

If you break these moth wing feelings
Powdering dust on your fingers
We know we're now prayin', we're kneelin'
Hard enough just to say you believe them
Well how the heck did you think you could beat them
At the same time that your trying to be them?
Hard enough just to say you don't need it
When they took it up while you were still eating
Well satellite, satellite skin
Just to know, just to say you don't realize it
Well everybody's willing to listen
Oh satellite, satellite skin
You can say what you want you're forgiven
Well happy fucking congratulations
Well everyone, everyone wins
Just like being my own solar system
Doing good things but they totally eclipse them
Oh what's the use, oh what the hell?
If you break these moth wing feelings
Butterfly knives in the ceiling
Well everyone, everyone's waiting
Detachments gets praised and completed
You can say what you want and not mean it
Well no one really seems to be waiting
If you sweep up this mess I created
Nothings left to show I existed
Oh satellite, satellite skin
Asking for a question
Was it easier said than was actually done?
Do you even believe them?
Do you even believe that there's a race to be won?
If you bring these moth wing feelings
I have seen it all become satellite skin
Opening some eyes
A knack to know that it's not their opinions
Get stacked in all those usual avoided spots
Just to tell you I could not have seen
Through to the gist of those unhappy
Happy accidents
