Intro
B F#/A# E
[Verse]
B F#/A# E
Maybe I couldn't give you everything that you want
B F#/A# E
Maybe I should have put your feelings first for once
B F#/A# E
'Cause I will want what I can't get till I'm dead in the ground
B F#/A# E
And the light that you hold goes out
[Verse]
B F#/A#
If I send a letter
E
Would you read it alone
B F#/A# E
C#m I still a contender or have you moved on
B F#/A# E
Because I've been trapped in my glass house so long on my own
B F#/A# E
I'm so glad that you threw your stone
B F#/A#
You wrote upon it you're the one;
E Emaj7
It said upon it you're the one
[Chorus]
B F#/A#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
G#m E
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
B F#/A# G#m
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure - no no
E
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA.
[Post-Chorus]
B F#/A# E
[Verse]
B F#/A# E F#maj11 E
Maybe I'm outnumbered, well I won't be outgunned
B F#/A# E F#maj11 E
I'll rise from the ashes I won't sink in the mud
B F#/A# G#m E
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros, we're so much more
B F#/A# E F#maj11 E
And you've got to find out or the credits roll
[Chorus]
B F#/A#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
G#m E
I watched our luck decay and like a bird I preyed
B F#/A#
I'm a virus and you're the placebo not the cure
G#m E
Its poison never works; it only makes me worse
B F#/A#
And the tears you can taste are not just DNA
G#m E
They showed that we're the same and I washed them all away
B F#/A#
'Cause I'm a virus and you're out looking for the cure - no no
G#m E B F#/A#
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
E B
That strain you can't erase, it's in my DNA
