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