Intro
E B/D# A
[Verse]
E B/D# A
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
E B/D# A
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
E B/D# A
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
E B/D# A
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
E B/D#
If I send a letter
A
Would you read it alone
E B/D# A
F#m I still a contender or have you moved on
E B/D# A
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
E B/D# A
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
E B/D#
You wrote upon it you're the one;
A Amaj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
E B/D#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
C#m A
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
E B/D# C#m
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]
E B/D# A
[Verse]
E B/D# A Bmaj11 A
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
E B/D# A Bmaj11 A
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
E B/D# C#m A
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
E B/D# A Bmaj11 A
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
E B/D#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
C#m A
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
E B/D#
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
C#m A
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
E B/D#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
C#m A
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
E B/D#
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
C#m A E B/D#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
A E
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
