[Verse]
Am                      G                  C
We were doomed from the start, as starters are.

         F
Why am I doing this?

Am             G                  C
Digging my own grave. Though it's shallow,

        F
I would lie in it.

Am                 G               C
We're down in the basement, in the dark,

         F
after we crash your car.

Am                  G              C
Hoping fast that my arrow hits the mark,

           F
so you know who we are.
[Verse]
Am              G            C            F
Please keep the reporters at bay.

Am                  G
This is a matter of life and death,

       C                    F
but I deal with things like this everyday.

Am              G            C             F
Please keep the reporters at bay.

Am                  G            C
You never do what I tell you to.

          F
You never do what I say.
[Chorus]
Am         G         C          F
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.

Am             G   C      F
We all have sizable scars. We got it.

Am             G   C      F
You'd break it all apart. We got it.

Am             G         C          F          E
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
[Verse]
Am           G             C
Yes we are a bullet in the heart

        F
and the message sent.

Am              G              C
Always dragging your feet over sand

         F
and over hot cement.

Am                  G                   C
Make a list of your favorites. Write it down.

        F
Make it legible.

Am                     G                 C
A problem we're always facing. You never rest.

           F
You either push or pull.
[Verse]
Am              G           C            F
Please keep the crowd under control

Am                  G
This is a matter of life and death,

       C                    F
and we're not prepared, I just want you to know

Am              G            C             F
Please keep the crowd under control.

Am                  G            C
This is the weight of my conscience

           F
This is an all time low.
[Chorus]
Am         G         C          F
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.        (pick don't strum)

Am          G        C         F
We all have sizable scars. We got it.

Am             G   C      F
You'd break it all apart. We got it.

Am             G         C          F          E
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
[Bridge]
Am                          C
I see my baby. She's starry eyed.

          G           F
I hear my bones break all the time.

Am                          C
I see my baby. She's starry eyed.

             G          F         E
She follows. Don't call me unkind.
[x2] [Chorus]
Am         G         C          F
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.

Am          G        C         F
We all have sizable scars. We got it.

Am             G   C      F
You'd break it all apart. We got it.

Am             G         C          F          E
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
