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