This is a tab of the Acoustic version on the song, so sorry if the chords or timings are
different to the original.
Note to more advanced players: The chords in the verse and chorus take different shapes.
The (recommended) different chord shapes are laid out below. Also, I’m not sure what
the actual name for ‘Em/C’ is, I worked the chord out by ear and by watching at the
guitarist, so if anyone does know give me a shout and I’ll change it. Enjoy.

Em – C x2
Em C
This doesn’t make much sense
Em C G F
Think far out, but I’m still locked in
Em C
I’m still lost, walking circles
Em C G
The floor swallowed me up whole
B
There’s nowhere to go
C D
There’s a vulture on my shoulder
Am
And he’s telling me to give in
C D
Always hissing right in my ear
Am
Like it’s coming from my own head
C
It’s got me mixed up
D
Trying not to give up
Am
Tell me there’s a way to get out of here
C D
Oh, fixed at zero
Em – C x2
Em C
I’ve learned to talk with my fingers
Em C G F
The only voice that wakes my ears
Oh make my bones do something
Em C
Ever want to jump out your skin?
Em C G
Anticipate until the sidewalk ends
B
There’s nowhere to go
C D
There’s a vulture on my shoulder
Am
And he’s telling me to give in
C D
Always hissing right in my ear
Am
Like it’s coming from my own head
C
It’s got me mixed up
D
Trying not to give up
Am
Tell me there’s a way to get out of here
C D
Oh, fixed at zero
Em – Em/C – Am – Em – Em/C – B
C D
There’s a vulture on my shoulder
Am
And he’s telling me to give in
C D
Always hissing right in my ear
Am
Like it’s coming from my own head
C
It’s got me mixed up
D
Trying not to give up
Am
Tell me there’s a way to get out of here
C D
Oh, fixed at zero
Em – Em/C
Em Em/C
I’m fixed at zero
Em – Em/C
Em Em/C Em
I’m fixed at zero
