[Verse 1]
           Ebm
When I was younger I wish

                        B
that I would have known better
Better love makes a fat romance lasts for more than a shoe
          Gb
shine I'm bolder took all

                Ebm
the words of my mother

                   B
Saying it could be worse
Could be born with that disease Instead of catching it first [Pre-Verse]
         Gb
So let's go back to the first time

       Bbm
That I met you in your Chevy

          B
With your hands stretched and me 

                  Db
crying screaming "mercy mercy"

      Gb
But I know that I was put here

         Ebm
To fight vikings in the cold war

        B
with my arms out in the front 

         Db
singing "tear me tear me"
[Chorus]
             B
These things take time love

             Gb
These things take backbone

            Ebm
And they'll tell you 
what you want to hear They say it gets
Db
better better

               B
But you better know how 

                 Gb
to point out the liars

       Ebm
You've got to win 
your wars make sure You're not fighting
    Db
for nothing nothing
Are you fighting for
B              B - hold -
nothing nothing
[Verse 2]
                   Ebm
It feels like this world has 

                      B
been growing slowly upside down
Maybe I should move to China straighten this mess out
                Ebm
Maybe I'll be a poet watch 

                   B
all the sky for falling words
Write about my grandma's curtains Or the lady who put the chinese buffet in her purse [Pre-Verse]
         Ebm
I've got my mouth it's a weapon

     Bbm
It's bombshell it's a cannon

         B
I've got my words I won't

          Db
give them mercy mercy
[Chorus]
             B
These things take time love

             Gb
These things take backbone

            Ebm
And they'll tell you 
what you want to hear They say it gets
Db
better better

               B
But you better know how 

                 Gb
to point out the liars

       Ebm
You've got to win 
your wars make sure You're not fighting
    Db
for nothing nothing
Are you fighting for
B              B - hold -
nothing nothing

     Ebm - hold -
I've got my words

       Gb - hold -
I hope they hurt you

       B - hold -
I hope they scar you
I hope they will hear you
            Ebm
I hope they cut you open
make you seal the warn
    Bbm
For all the wrong

Gb
reasons make you see
that some things were
      Bbm
worth bruising for

Gb
Make you see that your 

             Bbm
name is your honor code

Gb
Make you see that your

               Bbm
hands you're accounted for

Gb
They can choose where your

              Bbm
sweat and you blood will

   Gb
go Make you see your life's

          Bbm
not to be lived alone

Gb
Run the strip through your hair

             Db
You're worth nothing nothing
[Chorus 2]
