[Intro] | Em | Em G C G/B | Em | Em C G/B Am | Em | Em G C G/B | [Verse 1]
Em
 Boys will be poison

               G
Girls will be war

Am                    Em
 Your path has been chosen

                   G    Am           C
Your voice has been torn out at the roots

              D
What else is new?

B/D#      Em
 Boo hoo
[Pre-Chorus]
           G                          C         G/B        Em
With that fire in your eyes, little starling, what's with you?

      C                       D       B/D#    Em
You promised you wouldn't get angry, darling
[Chorus]
G           D                   Em
 We are so far, so lost, it's true

                            G
We can't attempt to start anew

             D
We lost our way so long ago

Em                                  G
 Chopping things down before they grow

              D
Been gone so long, we went too far

Em
 Like crashing jets and shooting stars

G            D               Em
 We let the best of us burn down, hot autumn nights in Chinatown
[Instrumental] | Em | Em C G/B Am | Em | Em G C G/B | [Verse 2]
Em
 Life can be murder

              G
Death can be calm

Am               Em                                     G
 Yet no one in their right mind thinks they dеserve to fall

Am                 C
 Shot out of your boots

              D
What elsе is new?

 Boo hoo
