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