Hey! This was done entirely by ear, so if anything sounds off, drop a comment
[Intro]
D C G A# G X2
[Verse]
D C What makes a girl start a fire in the hall G A# G Leave a lipstick scrawl on the bathroom mirror? D C She won't settle for a pile of scrap metal G A# G While you work the gas pedal at another man's steer D C She takes her time as authorities arrive G A# G Going out for a smoke in the empty back lot D C She sees the world she imagined as a girl G A# G Was a lottery ticket for a phony jackpot
[Chorus]
E G D Years roll on and we still have not dealt with our trauma E G A Years roll on and we still have not looked at our sin
[Verse 2]
D C What makes a man take a hammer in his hand G A# G Shatter every last window of the company store D C At 3 AM with the furies back again? G A# G Now it's him against them in a personal war D C The mind snaps and economies collapse G A# G When the one who works hardest gets the smallest reward D C The big scam is nobody gives a damn G A# G That the penthouse suite depends on the bottom three floors
[Bridge]
Bm G D And I know how hard you've been working Bm G D We all know somebody who's been killed Bm G We hold power, though it's only for the hour D Let the ivory tower know the power we wield Bm G D They know we got 'em and empire's in its autumn when it's built
From the bottom and the bottom won't build
[Chorus]
E G D Years roll on and they still have not dealt with our trauma E G A Years roll on and they still have not looked at their sin
[Outro]
D C G A# G
