[Verse]
Bm A D
We were doomed from the start, as starters are.
G
Why am I doing this?
Bm A D
Digging my own grave. Though it's shallow,
G
I would lie in it.
Bm A D
We're down in the basement, in the dark,
G
after we crash your car.
Bm A D
Hoping fast that my arrow hits the mark,
G
so you know who we are.
[Verse]
Bm A D G
Please keep the reporters at bay.
Bm A
This is a matter of life and death,
D G
but I deal with things like this everyday.
Bm A D G
Please keep the reporters at bay.
Bm A D
You never do what I tell you to.
G
You never do what I say.
[Chorus]
Bm A D G
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.
Bm A D G
We all have sizable scars. We got it.
Bm A D G
You'd break it all apart. We got it.
Bm A D G F#
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
[Verse]
Bm A D
Yes we are a bullet in the heart
G
and the message sent.
Bm A D
Always dragging your feet over sand
G
and over hot cement.
Bm A D
Make a list of your favorites. Write it down.
G
Make it legible.
Bm A D
B problem we're always facing. You never rest.
G
You either push or pull.
[Verse]
Bm A D G
Please keep the crowd under control
Bm A
This is a matter of life and death,
D G
and we're not prepared, I just want you to know
Bm A D G
Please keep the crowd under control.
Bm A D
This is the weight of my conscience
G
This is an all time low.
[Chorus]
Bm A D G
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this. (pick don't strum)
Bm A D G
We all have sizable scars. We got it.
Bm A D G
You'd break it all apart. We got it.
Bm A D G F#
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
[Bridge]
Bm D
I see my baby. She's starry eyed.
A G
I hear my bones break all the time.
Bm D
I see my baby. She's starry eyed.
A G F#
She follows. Don't call me unkind.
[x2]
[Chorus]
Bm A D G
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.
Bm A D G
We all have sizable scars. We got it.
Bm A D G
You'd break it all apart. We got it.
Bm A D G F#
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
[x2]
