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