Intro
G# D#/G C#
[Verse]
G# D#/G C#
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
G# D#/G C#
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
G# D#/G C#
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
G# D#/G C#
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
G# D#/G
If I send a letter
C#
Would you read it alone
G# D#/G C#
A#m I still a contender or have you moved on
G# D#/G C#
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
G# D#/G C#
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
G# D#/G
You wrote upon it you're the one;
C# C#maj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
G# D#/G
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Fm C#
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
G# D#/G Fm
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure - no no
C#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA.
[Post-Chorus]
G# D#/G C#
[Verse]
G# D#/G C# D#maj11 C#
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
G# D#/G C# D#maj11 C#
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
G# D#/G Fm C#
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
G# D#/G C# D#maj11 C#
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
G# D#/G
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Fm C#
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
G# D#/G
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
Fm C#
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
G# D#/G
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Fm C#
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
G# D#/G
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
Fm C# G# D#/G
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
C# G#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
