Intro
D A/C# G
[Verse]
D A/C# G
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
D A/C# G
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
D A/C# G
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
D A/C# G
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
D A/C#
If I send a letter
G
Would you read it alone
D A/C# G
Em I still a contender or have you moved on
D A/C# G
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
D A/C# G
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
D A/C#
You wrote upon it you're the one;
G Gmaj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
D A/C#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Bm G
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
D A/C# Bm
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/C# G
[Verse]
D A/C# G Amaj11 G
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
D A/C# G Amaj11 G
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
D A/C# Bm G
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
D A/C# G Amaj11 G
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
D A/C#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Bm G
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
D A/C#
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
Bm G
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
D A/C#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Bm G
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
D A/C#
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
Bm G D A/C#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
G D
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
