Intro
F C/E A#
[Verse]
F C/E A#
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
F C/E A#
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
F C/E A#
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
F C/E A#
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
F C/E
If I send a letter
A#
Would you read it alone
F C/E A#
Gm I still a contender or have you moved on
F C/E A#
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
F C/E A#
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
F C/E
You wrote upon it you're the one;
A# A#maj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
F C/E
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Dm A#
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
F C/E Dm
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure - no no
A#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA.
[Post-Chorus]
F C/E A#
[Verse]
F C/E A# Cmaj11 A#
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
F C/E A# Cmaj11 A#
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
F C/E Dm A#
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
F C/E A# Cmaj11 A#
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
F C/E
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Dm A#
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
F C/E
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
Dm A#
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
F C/E
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Dm A#
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
F C/E
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
Dm A# F C/E
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
A# F
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
