[Verse 1]
C#m F#m
Was that somebody's scream, It wasn't me for sure
C Am
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows, Put my feet on the floor
Em Am
I Cut my wrist on a bad thought and head for the door
[Verse 2]
C#m F#m
Outside on the pavement, The dark makes no noise
C Am
I can feel the sweat on my lips leaking into my mouth
Em Am C#m
I'm heading out for the steep hills, They're leaving me no choice
[Chorus]
F#m A E Bm D A E Bm
And see...as our lives are in the making
F#m A E Bm D A E
We believe through the lies and the hating
Bm F#m A Bm
That love goes free
[Verse 3]
C#m F#m
For want of an option I run the wind 'round
C Am
I dream pictures of houses burning never knowing nothing else to do
G D Am
With death comes the morning unannounced and new
[Verse 4]
C#m F#m
Was it too much to ask for to pull a little weight
C Am
They forgive everything but greatness, These are scoundrel days
Em Am C#m
And I'm close to calling out their names as pride hits my face
[Chorus]
F#m A E Bm D A E Bm
And see...as our lives are in the making
F#m A E Bm D A E
We believe through the lies and the hating
Bm Am G F#m F Am G F#m F
That love goes free through scoundrel days
[Instrumental]
Am G F#m F (2x)
[Verse 5]
C#m F#m
I reach the edge of town, I've got blood in my hair
C Am
Their hands touch my body from everywhere
Em Am C#m
But I know that I've made it as I run into the air
[Chorus]
F#m A E Bm D A E Bm
And see...as our lives are in the making
F#m A E Bm D A E
We believe through the lies and the hating
Bm F#m A E Bm D A E Bm A
That love goes free Through scoundrel days
