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