Twenty One Pilots - Redecorate

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
Em
There was a wonderful structure to the city
Bm F#m
And it put my cares to rest
Bm
Ooh ooh ooh
F#m
Ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 1]
Bm
Taking inventory of his life
Bm
Seeing snapshots chronologically inline
F#m
Something told him he should look around and tidy up
F#m
He collected many things but never quite enough
Bm
Tried looking at it from a new perspective
Bm
Flat on his back but he still heard the directive
F#m
Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived
F#m
Never asked permission, he just hopes that they forgive

[Chorus]
D
I don’t want to go like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Bm
At least let me clean my room
F#m
I don’t want to leave like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
E
‘Cause the last thing I want to do is
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
F#m
Should they keep it on display
E N.C.
Or redecorate?

[Verse 2]
Bm
Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it
Bm
She’s not afraid of her reflection

But of what she might see behind it
F#m
She had plans to change her name, yeah
F#m N.C.
Just not the traditional way, yeah
Bm
Haunted by a couple big mistakes
Bm
She covers all the dents with the way she decorates
F#m
Then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed
F#m
So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said

[Chorus]
D
I don’t want to go like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Bm
At least let me clean my room
F#m
I don’t want to leave like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
E
‘Cause the last thing I want to do is
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
F#m
Should they keep it on display
E N.C.
Or redecorate?

[Instrumental]
F#m Bm F#m Bm

[Bridge]
F#m
With the bells and the whistles scaled back
Bm
Like an isolated track
F#m
And he feels trapped when he’s not inebriated
Bm
Fair to say he’s fairly sedated most days of the week

He might have made it if he lived on a different street
F#m
I repeat, scaled back and isolated
Bm
He says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly hates it
F#m
If you’re running to his room, take a breath before you break-in
Bm F#m Bm
Put your ear up to the door, tell me can you hear him saying?

[Chorus]
D
I don’t want to go like this
Bm
At least let me clean my room
F#m
I don’t want to leave like this
E
‘Cause the last thing I want to do is
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
F#m
Should they keep it on display
E N.C.
Or redecorate?
D
I don’t want to go like this (Go like this)
Bm
At least let me clean my room (Clean my room)
F#m
I don’t want to leave like this (Leave like this)
E
‘Cause the last thing I want to do is (To do is)
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
F#m
Should they keep it on display (On display)
E N.C.
Or redecorate?

[Outro]
D Bm
Oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m E
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Or redecorate?
D Bm
Oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m E
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Or redecorate?
