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

[Verse 5]
Gm Cm
I reach the edge of town, I've got blood in my hair
Gb D#m
Their hands touch my body from everywhere
A#m D#m Gm
But I know that I've made it as I run into the air
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# Fm G# D# A# Fm
And see...as our lives are in the making
Cm D# A# Fm G# D# A#
We believe through the lies and the hating
Fm Cm D# A# Fm G# D# A# Fm D#
That love goes free Through scoundrel days
