Chords

[Verse 1]
Am            Bb      Dm
I said it out loud 23 times

    Bb
I'm not gonna make the same mistakes

Am             Bb
I promised the river

                            Dm
Held my child and whispered in her hair

Gm                         Bb
Life is not a poem, it's a war
[Chorus]
F                 Gm           Dm          C
And I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore

Gm        F
Anymore
[Verse 2]
Am        Bb               Dm
I pay a stranger every two weeks

   Bb
To repackage my thoughts for me

Am                Bb                 Dm
But now there's a razor between your lips

     Bb                      Gm
That kiss will make my heart unzip

Gm                        F
And I want it like I need it
[Chorus]
F                 Gm           Dm          C
But I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore

F             Gm           Dm
I'm not gonna fall for the ones like me

C
With darkness in their bellies

F             Gm           Dm
I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones

C                            Gm
No, I'll be smarter from now on

                         Bb
So much smarter from now on
[Intrumental]
F    Gm    Dm    Bb
ooh
[Bridge]
    F
Two people trying to save each other

     Gm
Only pulls them both further under

      Dm
Don't waste your strength waving at me

      C
I'm a life jacket made of concrete

    F
Got darkness I've been trying to run from

     Gm
Only thing keeping me sane are these songs

        Dm
I don't want to touch the open skies

       C
I just need a safe place to hide
[Last Chorus & Outro]
F                 Gm           Dm
Cos I don't wanna fall for the broken ones

    C
The luminescent wild ones

F
The dancing on electric wire ones

Gm
Tumbling through the sky ones

Dm
Chasing the essential fire ones

C
The haunted agonised ones

F
The tortured juggling knives ones

Gm
Beautiful crazy-eyed ones

Dm
Death tugging at their mind ones

C                            Gm
No, I'll be smarter from now on

                         Bb
So much smarter from now on

                   Gm
Only problem that I got now is

                         F     Gm    Dm    C             Gm
Who's gonna fall for this                       broken one
