[Intro]
F#5  A#5  A5  |  F#5  C/G  A5
F#5  A#5  A5  |  F#5  C/G  A5


[Verse 1]
F#5                        A#5         A5
Climb into my corner on my self-inflicted coma
F#5                   C5/G         A5
Stand up, lay down, repeat in the same order
F#5                                          A#5          A5
Fall straight through the floor and let the time just run me over
 F#5                     C5/G           A5
Another mirrored image corrupted and distorted
    F#5                           A5         G#5
I'm underwhelmed, uninterested, I wonder why I'm over it
F#5                                  A5               G#5
Walk it off, the kettle's black, the dotted line, the house is glass


[Pre-Chorus 1]
D               Bm
  (The house is glass) the house is glass
C#                     F#  N.C.
  (The house is glass)     the house is glass


[Chorus 1]
D                  Bm
  It's an illusion,   this admiration
C#               F#  
   Of mutilation,   my isolation
D                  Bm                 C#
  It's an illusion,   this admiration,   of mutilation
F#5  A5           F#5  A5
     My isolation,     my isolation
F#5  A5           F#5  A5           
     My isolation,     it's an illusion


[Verse 2]
F#5                               A#5             A5
Slide on down the staircase, that picture-perfect moment
  F#5               C5/G           A5
Receiver projected, act like if you own it
F#5                     A#5             A5
Smile for the camera, repeat and do it over
F#5                     C5/G            A5
Smile for the camera, repeat and do it over
F#5                              A5             G#5
Joke's on you, the needle prick, cut me down, I need a break
F#5                                  A5               G#5
Walk it off, the kettle's black, the dotted line, the house is glass


[Pre-Chorus 2]
D               Bm
  (The house is glass) the house is glass
C#                     F#  N.C.
  (The house is glass)     the house is glass


[Chorus 2]
D                  Bm
  It's an illusion,   this admiration
C#               F#  
   Of mutilation,   my isolation
D                  Bm                 C#
  It's an illusion,   this admiration,   of mutilation
F#5  A5           F#5  A5
     My isolation,     my isolation
F#5  A5           F#5  A5           
     My isolation,     it's an illusion


[Bridge]
D               Bm
Brick by brick, make it last
    D         Bm
Hit that line,  the house is glass


[Interlude]
D  Bm  C#  F#
D  Bm  C#  F# 
D  Bm  C#  F# 
D  Bm  C#  F# 


[Chorus 3]
D                  Bm
  It's an illusion,   my isolation
C#              F#
   My isolation,   my isolation
D                  Bm
  It's an illusion,   it's an illusion,
C#              F#5  A5           F#5  A5
   My isolation,     my isolation,     my isolation
