Intro
F# C#/F B
[Verse]
F# C#/F B
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
F# C#/F B
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
F# C#/F B
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
F# C#/F B
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
F# C#/F
If I send a letter
B
Would you read it alone
F# C#/F B
G#m I still a contender or have you moved on
F# C#/F B
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
F# C#/F B
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
F# C#/F
You wrote upon it you're the one;
B Bmaj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
F# C#/F
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
D#m B
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
F# C#/F D#m
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure - no no
B
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA.
[Post-Chorus]
F# C#/F B
[Verse]
F# C#/F B C#maj11 B
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
F# C#/F B C#maj11 B
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
F# C#/F D#m B
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
F# C#/F B C#maj11 B
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
F# C#/F
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
D#m B
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
F# C#/F
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
D#m B
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
F# C#/F
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
D#m B
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
F# C#/F
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
D#m B F# C#/F
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
B F#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
