Bm G D D
[Verse 1]
Bm G D Hypnic jerk, and I'm woken from a dream Bm G D We were pooling pennies for the coin-op guillotine Bm G They gotta give us bread but give us roses, D or lifeless he reposes Bm G D In a puddle of blood by a deadly blade agleam Bm G D Your eyes glazed over while you sat unlistening Bm You said your head's on fire G D and every thought is kindling Bm G A tired life is a wild ride D A for the saddest boy on the waterslide Bm G Whеn the breadcrumbs only lead D to whеre you've been
[Verse 2]
D/F# G But the last thing said while we lay in bed Bm A Is that "I love when you invoke my death" D/F# G D When the grey gauze mist descends on me like sleep D/F# G So how does it seem like I've been coping? Bm A My brain is fried and my spirit's broken D/F# Em D A Working for the coin-op guillotine
[Refrain]
Em If you've got a cross to bear Bm G D Call my name, I'll see you there
[Verse 3]
Bm G A three beer buzz or bust these days, D hungover international break Bm G Time slides glacier slow, D and the gallows concrete will hit like a pillow Bm House a white whale, G D A all of your exes ache within your solar plexus Bm G Heart erupts and the pavement splatters D I think I'm right, I don't think it matters
[Chorus]
D/F# G Two sounds collide upon the breeze Bm A Sunday service, Sunday league D/F# G D A From either side there comes unholy scream D/F# G How's it look like I've been dealing? Bm A Ten-tonne truck struck full of feelings D/F# Em D A Longing for the coin-op guillotine
[Refrain]
Em If you've got a cross to bear Bm G D Tell me what it costs in prayer Bm G D Call my name, I'll see you there Bm G We've gotta pool all of our pennies D Between us we have plenty Bm G D Call my name, I'll see you there
