Chords

Some of the Em chords in this tab are played in a different way than you normally would, like at the end of each chorus it's played super high on the electric guitar, so it works best either on the bar chord Em on the 12th fret or, if you're on piano, play a power chord version with 6th octave E as the base. The strumming pattern for this is really simple, it's a hard-hitting, high-energy song with hits on each beat. Feel free to comment on anything I can improve! [Intro]
Em
Put on your war paint
[Verse]
Em
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down

Em
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground

Em
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
Em
Here, here comes this rising tide so come on

Em
Put on your war paint

Em
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to die

Em
Silver clouds with grey linings

          Em7                          Am6    Em
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

     Em7                     Am6     Em
One maniac at a time we will take it back

         Em7                         Am6/C          Em
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

Em                    D               N.C.
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
[Chorus]
D         Em               C/E
Hey young blood doesn't it feel

Like our time is running out

D            Em                C/E
I'm going to change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

       D           Em           C/E
You're wearing our vintage misery

               A/E                       C/E
No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm going to change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
[Verse]
Em
Bring home the boys in scraps
Scrap metal the tanks
Em
Get hitched make a career out of robbing banks

Em
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks

Em
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass

          Em7                          Am6    Em
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

     Em7                     Am6     Em
One maniac at a time we will take it back

         Em7                         Am6/C          Em
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart
