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