Intro
G D/F# C
[Verse]
G D/F# C
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
G D/F# C
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
G D/F# C
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
G D/F# C
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
G D/F#
If I send a letter
C
Would you read it alone
G D/F# C
Am I still a contender or have you moved on
G D/F# C
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
G D/F# C
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
G D/F#
You wrote upon it you're the one;
C Cmaj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
G D/F#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Em C
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
G D/F# Em
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/F# C
[Verse]
G D/F# C Dmaj11 C
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
G D/F# C Dmaj11 C
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
G D/F# Em C
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
G D/F# C Dmaj11 C
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
G D/F#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Em C
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
G D/F#
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
Em C
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
G D/F#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Em C
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
G D/F#
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
Em C G D/F#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
C G
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
