[Verse]
C#m
I still cheer for you
A
Ten years down the line
Time
E
Stepped away from me
C#m
Stained with tiger stripes
E
Losing all your lives
A B
Stray from this boring dream
C#m
What must it be like
With your world alight
A
Hard to swallow
E
But hunger's the best spice
C#m
Catch a warrior's eye
B
With an asteroid's sign
A B
Stray
[Chorus]
C#m
How could I stay here and rust
E B
When I'm set to explode?
C#m
You can outrun everything
E B
But the debts that you owe
C#m
You think I'm vicious
E B
But you don't know what vicious is
C#m
I'm numb from the distance
E
So stub out the stars on my wrist
B C#m
Stub out the stars on my wrist
C#m B A B (x2)
[Verse]
C#m
If it's just the bored
A
Asking this kind of thing
E
Where do we fit in?
C#m
Watch the star dust rise
E
With your reddened eyes
A B
Take what you want from it
C#m
We're the last ones left
Left to convalesce
A
Get the others
B
And cut to the next Scene
C#m
To be truly free
B
Freedom comes not from, but through me
A B
Take
[Chorus]
C#m
How could I stay here and rust
E B
When I'm set to explode?
C#m
You can outrun everything
E B
But the debts that you owe
C#m
You think I'm vicious
E B
But you don't know what vicious is
C#m
I'm numb from the distance
E
So stub out the stars on my wrist
B C#m
Stub out the stars on my wrist
[Bridge]

C#m G#m A
E B F#m
Do you remember when the stars
A
Were much higher?
E A B A B
You would try to count them all
A
But you grew tired - tired - tired

[Chorus]
How could I stay here and rust
C#m E B
When I'm set to explode?

You can outrun everything

But you don't know what vicious is

So stub out the stars on my wrist

Stub out the stars on my wrist.
