It will rise

It's not wise

For your band

With my hand
[Pre-chorus 1]

Didn't know the gun was loaded

Sliding it off your shoulder

As we're falling over

As we're falling over
[Break] Dm C Bb F [Outro]
Dm           C
You did it alone

               Bb
You did it for fun

                  F                  Dm
You did it for everyone who's on the run

                    C
You're not just a friend

                Bb
You're me born again

                  F                  Dm
We'll be in this race until the very end

                  C
He lives on the phone

                  Bb
He cheats on his clone

               F                            Dm
You'll never believe me 'til you're on your own

                 C
Comes in once a month

               Bb
And he never leaves

                F
He said he is broken

              Dm
Yet he lives free

               C
Didn't wanna floor ya

Bb             F
I didn't wanna be there for ya

Dm            C      Bb
Didn't wanna warn ya

          F
I'll be there
Dm
