**Didn't figure out the solo part though, sorry!
           C#m
When I was younger

                               A
I wish that I would have known better

                            E
Better love makes a fat romance
That lasts for more than a shoe shine
    C#m
I’m older

                         A
Took all the words of my mother

                    E
Saying it could be worse, could be born with that disease

 B
Instead of catching it first

 C#m
So let’s go back 

                         A
To the first time that I met you
In your Chevy,
          E
With your hands stretched and me crying, screaming

B
“Mercy. Mercy.”

 C#m
But I know that I was put here

        A
To fight Vikings in the cold war, 

 E
with my arms out in the front lines, singing

 B
“Dare me Dare me.”

                Asus2
But these things take time, love

             E
These things take backbone

           C#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear

                      B       B
'Cause they think it’s better, better

              Asus2                       E
But you better know how to point out the liars

 C#m
You’ve got to weigh your wars 

                                 B       B
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing

                     A
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?

                  C#m
It feels like this world has 

                   A
Been growing slowly upside down

                      E
Maybe I should move to China and straighten this mess out

               C#m
Maybe I’ll be a poet

                      A
Watch all the sky for falling words

                             E
And write about my grandma’s curtains

                                B
Or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse

       C#m
I’ve got my mouth, It’s a weapon

      A
It’s a bombshell, It’s a cannon

         E
I’ve got my words

                   B      B
I won’t give them, Mercy Mercy

                 Asus2
Well these things take time, love

             E
These things take backbone

           C#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear

                      B       B
'Cause they think it’s better, better

              Asus2                       E
But you better know how to point out the liars

 C#m
You’ve got to weigh your wars 

                                 B       B
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing

                     A
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?
DURING SOLO: C#m A E B 2x C#m (one strum each) I’ve got my words
       A
I hope they hurt you

          E
I hope they scar you

        B
I hope they heal you

            C#m
I hope they cut you open, make you see you’ve been warring

 A
For all the wrong reasons
Make you see that some things
E
Are worth bruising for
Make you see that your name
        B
Is your honor code
Make you see that your hands
            C#m
You’re accounted for
Pick and choose where your sweat
         A
And your blood will go
Make you see your life’s not
  E
To be lived alone
Run their spit through your hair
                B
You’re worth nothing

 B
Nothing
