Chords

some lyrics may change as a result I wasn't sure about the name of one chord so here's the diagram for it F#madd 2x021x which is finger picked
    Am          G           F
you wrestle yourself to the ground 

          Dm                C            G
you springboard and kick yourself in the mouth 

      F            C            G           Am
cause all of that drama, that embarrassed charade 

         Dm                     G
couldn't stop you or settle you down 

       Am            G          F
so you got back with your black hole 

        Dm               C                G
and you don't care who's out there or who knows

             F                C 
cause you're spent and you're sad 

             G                     Am
cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge 

            Dm                  G
and you've fixed it to all your clothes

                   F
every t-shirt and overcoat 
F#madd so it's with you through hot or cold
            Dm      C        G
but i would tear it from the cloth 

              Dm       C       Am     F
yeah, i would tear it from the cloth         

G                    C
grow up and knock it off 
cause there's a world awake outside with injustice and music and july, july with history's arc, with your family, with art. but it don't mean nothing not to you, not tonight you can't see past the length of your nose the biggest problems, well you're sure they're your own that girl you cut loose those two friends that cursed you and all that powder that you can't leave alone and you say, you know, you know, you know but i know that you don't, you don't, you don't cause if you did, you'd really try if you did, you'd really try to let all that die [ break ] C, G, Am, Em, F x4 (on last circle C ,G, Am, Em, F, Fm) so marry yourself to your work and crowd your confusion with words then round out your life with some records you like while you bury your love in the dirt cause it's endless, the ditch you can dig you're stubborn, and you're prideful, and you're all over it so i suggest you make sense of the time you've got left so you don't end up back where you've been
                 F
and you say you won't, you won't, you won't 
Fmadd and i hope that you don't, you don't, you don't
           Dm            C           G
but if you mean it, then stand up and fight 

           Dm             C           Am   F
but if you mean it, then stand up and fight 

G                           C       G,    Am, Em , F
     i mean, it's only your life 

                      C
i mean it's only your life 

          G
to fix or ruin 

    Am            Em     F
to figure what to do with 

               C
it's only your life 

          G
to fix or ruin 

             Am            Em    F
cause no one else is going to do it 

                     C
cause it's only your life
Am, G, F
