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