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