Am      F             Dm     F
 All our friends have, have sponsors

       Am        F               Dm    F
In the hope to attract a national brand

Am       F       Dm      F
 Sum your values up on a postcard

         Am        F               Dm     F
Hide the long, the long words under stamps
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am                    F
I'm praying for wisdom, a better physician

      Dm                    F
While softly blaspheming in the brace position

    Am                  F
And every professional, checking the sensible

Dm                 F                         Am   C   D   F
Barely detectable, flawed by a scoundrel's design
[Chorus]
     Am           C       D        F
And I fall, oh, I tend to fall sometimes

          Am   C   D
Though I'm tall

    F                          Am   C   D
But I can't access heaven if I try

    F                             Am
No, I won't get to heaven in this life
[Instrumental] | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | |=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========| | Am | F | Dm | Dm | Am | F | Dm | Dm | [Verse 2]
Am      F     Dm               F              Am
 I could lie awake, oh God how I usеd to lie awake

           F            Dm    F
And listen to rеpetition

Am    F           Dm               F
 In my dreams I'm chased, well, at least when I dream them

Am            F                Dm    F
 Not since my carbon emissions, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
     Am                      F
I've taken to listless, I've been preconditioned

   Dm              F
To misdiagnosing myself to remission

   Am                         F
We hunt down this villain, condemned to perdition

     Dm                    F                         Am   C   D   F
Worn down by attrition and flawed by a scoundrel's design
[Chorus]
     Am           C       D        F
And I fall, oh, I tend to fall sometimes

          Am   C   D
Though I'm tall

    F                          Am   C   D
But I can't access heaven if I try

    F                             Am
No, I won't get to heaven in this life
[Instrumental] | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | |=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========| | Am | F | Dm | F | Am | F | Dm | F | | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | |=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========| | Am | F | Dm | F | Am | F | Dm | F | | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | |=========|=========|=========|=========| | Am | F | Dm | F | | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | |=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========|=========| | Am | E | F | C C/B | Am | E | F | C C/B | [Outro]
   Am             E            F              C
So what's it even mean to be accepted by the scene

    C/B        Am           E                   F           C          C/B
And judge your worth in magazines and lend your life to ketamine? (You know that)

Am              E                F                 C
I could see the woods if not for all these fucking trees

    C/B      Am           E                  F          C    C/B
And we're so hounded by a cure, that's for a separate disease

               Am                E             F                  C
He lights the sparkler, prays it dies, another threat, he stays inside

        C/B     Am             E                   F                 C        C/B     Am   E
There's no more meaning to the highs, there's only viewing platforms built to watch it burn

    F                C       C/B
I'm not sure if it's purpose anymore

Am          E                F
 But I know this, despite my wish

              C        C/B    Am
A scoundrel's all I'll ever
