G#           C#maj7           A#m
I feel I've reached the end before I've reached
 F
death (Woo)
Pick up the pieces of me, you can have what's left
No matter how much you think you love him
You'll still flinch when his blood pool touches you

Chorus:
G#            C#maj7       F
'Cause I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want

He draws the samples so fast, it feels medical
Chest compressions in the incident support vehicle
And I know it's Stockholm that you're stuck on
How high's your pedestal?
But maybe, he'll be Jesus
Maybe he'll be Jesus this time

Chorus:
Oh, I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want
I'm scum, I'm waste, I'm what, you want

I recall staring at the sea for the first time
Woah!
I recall staring at the sea for the first time
My eyes wandered, took the sights from the both
sides
They longed to be free, but all I could see was
horizon
That claustrophobic horizon
