[Tucker:]
  F#m                      B
Today I am stitched, I am sewn

         F#m                     B
Patch me up, I've got want in my bones

          F#m                         B
Like some doll you thought you could throw away

           F#m       F#m   B
I found my legs
[Brownstein:]
F#m            B              F# B
Ready to climb out from under concrete

F#m  B           F#m         B
Only I get to be sickened by me

F#m       
My body a smudge

B                  F# B
Can't make out the details

F#m           B        C#m       F#m
Want to start over and come into being
[Chorus - Tucker & Brownstein:]
  F#m      B         F#m      B
Exhume our idols and bury our friends

     F#m       B            F#m        B
We're wild and weary but we won't give in

      F#m       B
We're sick with worry

      F#m        B
These nerve-less days

   F#m     B            F#m         B
We live on dread in our own guilded age
[Tucker:]
    F#m                        B
This dark world is precious to me

   F#m                         B
My scars make me breathe in so deep

   F#m                  B
My body has no need for sleep

          F#      F#m B
This time around
[Brownstein:]
F#m      B    F#m          B
Ready to find fragments of stillness

F#m  B           F#m         B
Only I get to be punished by me 

     F#m        B
Your voice is a crumb, 

F#m                  B
It leads me from the wildness

F#m         B        F#m 
Wanna start over, forget everything
[Chorus - Tucker & Brownstein:]
  F#m      B         F#m      B
Exhume our idols and bury our friends

     F#m       B            F#m        B
We're wild and weary but we won't give in

      F#m       B
We're sick with worry

      F#m        B
These nerve-less days

   F#m     B        F#m             B
We live on dread in our own guilded age
[Brownstein:]
          F#m
Make me a headline

  G#m  C#m      F#m
I wanna be that bold

B         F#m
Make me a spotlight

   G#m   C#m      F#m      B  
So I can see that gold

          F#m
Make me a headline

  G#m  C#m      F#m
I wanna be that bold

B         F#m
Make me a spotlight

   B     C#m     F#m       B  
So I can see the gold
[Chorus - Tucker & Brownstein:]
  F#m      B         F#m      B
Exhume our idols and bury our friends

     F#m       B            F#m        B
We're wild and weary but we won't give in

      F#m       B
We're sick with worry

      F#m        B
These nerve-less days

   F#m     Bm           F#m         B
We live on dread in our own guilded age

   F#m      B    
We speak in circles

   F#m      B
We dance in code

  F#m      B
Untame and hungry

   F#m         B
On fire in the cold

  F#m      B
Exhume our idols

  F#m    B
Bury our friends

      F#m      B            F#m
We're wild and weary but we won't give in
