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