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