[Verse 1]
   C#m                A       E     D
The paint's peeling off the streets again

         C#m                  A       E  D
And I'll drive and close my eyes in Michigan
[Pre-chorus 1]
    C#m F#m A
And I feel nothing, not brave

      C#m   F#m     A          C
It's a hard day for breathing again
[Verse 2]
        C#m               A    E       D
And the heat is chasing all, all your friends

          C#m                A           E   D
And their scattered bodies part to the shore again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
    C#m F#m A
And I feel nothing, not sane

       C#m  F#m     A        C
It's a hard day for dreaming again
[Chorus 1]
    E                 A
And oh, I'm not going back

                     E
To the assholes that made me

          A
A perfect display

                  E
Of random acts of hopelessness

               A
I wish I could stay here

      C
But I think we're all ready,

B
Think we're all ready
[Interlude] C#m A E D x4 [Pre-Chorus 3]
    C#m F#m A
And I feel nothing, not sane

       C#m  F#m     A         C
It's a hard day for dreaming again
[Chorus 2]
    E                   A
And oh, now that you've seen

               E
Almost all of America

            A
All you can say is

                  E
"Where is all the water?"

                     A
And the war has been over

    C                    Bm
For years since you gave up
[Bridge]
         A                C        Em
And last night, where the road had started

A                   C          Em
Last night, when my hands were choking you

A                    C             Em
Last night, when the room and your mood was dipping

A                        C
And last night, when the ropes were pulling you in

          E Bm A E            Bm            A
You said "hey, how could you love me this way?"

          E Bm A
You said "hey"

      C
But I think we're all ready,

Bm
Think we're all ready
