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