Intro
C G/B F
[Verse]
C G/B F
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
C G/B F
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
C G/B F
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
C G/B F
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
C G/B
If I send a letter
F
Would you read it alone
C G/B F
Dm I still a contender or have you moved on
C G/B F
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
C G/B F
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
C G/B
You wrote upon it you're the one;
F Fmaj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
C G/B
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Am F
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
C G/B Am
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/B F
[Verse]
C G/B F Gmaj11 F
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
C G/B F Gmaj11 F
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
C G/B Am F
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
C G/B F Gmaj11 F
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
C G/B
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Am F
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
C G/B
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
Am F
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
C G/B
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
Am F
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
C G/B
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
Am F C G/B
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
F C
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
