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