Intro
C, Em, F*, G**
[Verse]
C
Well her body was an outpost
Em
For ideas that didn't work,
F*
A nation failed and broken,
G**
Invaded and then burned,
C
And the crumbles and the ashes
Em
That settled in her purse
F*
Were the ruins of an empire
G**
And the people we once were
C
We were limping up on Lake street
Em
When she motioned toward the church
F*
She said, "The hardest thing they ask me
G**
Is, 'Amanda, Does it hurt?'
C
'Cause it's not pain, it's more like pressure
Em
On the edges of my eyes
F
I see scales and bloody feathers
G
When I look into the light.
C
And my password is, 'Be honest.'
Em
And my network is, 'Evolved.'
F* G**
And I can't guarantee I'll pick up every time that you call.
[Chorus]
Am Em
Ain't it spooky when they all go away,
F* C
Ain't it strange how they just dissappear?
F* C
It really sucks getting sick on the bus,
G**
It's even worse when the teenagers cheer.
Am Em
Ain't it funny how we all get by,
F* C
But not the way that makes us laugh.
F C
The lust burns off into handshakes and hugs,
G**
In the end it comes down to the cash.
E|0
And I was calling from the car park when they kicked in the door.
E|1
They pulled the pistols from the holsters, put the people on the floor.
E|3
It's not the fear it's the frustration. Gettin' sick of being scared.
A|0
They play a princess to her feet. Made a handle from her hair.
[Verse]
C
I was thinkin' 'bout the progress,
Em
How a change is gonna come.
F*
I was hearing the announcements.
G**
I was running from the guns.
C
And desperation fueled the dancers.
Em
There's a sadness in the sex.
F*
And they lingered over dinner.
G**
And they ran out on the checks.
C
And our safeword is still "stop it."
Em
And our style is self-involved.
F* G**
And I can't guarantee I'll pick up every time that you call.
[Chorus]
Am Em F* C
Ain't it somethin' how the people switch partners? You've just gotta wait your turn.
F* C G?**
It's really hard getting kicked in the heart, it's even worse watching big buildings burn.
Am Em F* C
Ain't it strange how it all fades to black just when it starts to feel really nice?
F* C G?**
And I was banging 'round your party trying to locate all the love in the light.
E|0
And the speed accrested early, but then it ran its course.
E|1
So I showered then got ready. Started on my chores.
E|3
It was rushin' through my blood. It was comin' through my pores,
A|0
And my heart was chargin' forward, and I threw up off the porch,
[Verse]
C
And we were limpin' up t'wards Lake street. She motioned towards the church.
Em
She said, "The hardest question ever is, 'Amanda, does it hurt?'
F
'Cause it's not pain, it's more like pressure. In some ways that's much worse.
G?**
The ruins of an empire. The people we once were.
C (let ring)
If a revolution's really coming,
Em (let ring)
Then we all need to be well.
F* (let ring) G**(let fade)
So maybe it's just best if we both take care of ourselves.
