Intro
A E/G# D
[Verse]
A E/G# D
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
A E/G# D
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
A E/G# D
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
A E/G# D
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
A E/G#
If I send a letter
D
Would you read it alone
A E/G# D
Bm I still a contender or have you moved on
A E/G# D
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
A E/G# D
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
A E/G#
You wrote upon it you're the one;
D Dmaj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
A E/G#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
F#m D
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
A E/G# F#m
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure - no no
D
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA.
[Post-Chorus]
A E/G# D
[Verse]
A E/G# D Emaj11 D
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
A E/G# D Emaj11 D
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
A E/G# F#m D
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
A E/G# D Emaj11 D
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
A E/G#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
F#m D
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
A E/G#
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
F#m D
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
A E/G#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
F#m D
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
A E/G#
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
F#m D A E/G#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
D A
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
