(Em9/BEm9Em9+/BbGm/DDmGmEm9/B)
Was that somebody screaming
It wasn't me for sure
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows
Put my feet on the floor
Cut my wrist on a bad thought
And head for the door
(Em9/BEm9Em9+/BbGm/DDmGmEm9/B)
Outside on the pavement
The dark makes no noise
I can feel the sweat on my lips
Leaking into my mouth
I'm heading out for the steep hills
They're leaving me no choice
EmGDAmCGDAm
And see...as our lives are in the making
EmGDAmCGDAm
We believe through the lies and the hating
AmEm
That love goes free
Em9/B
For want of an option
Em9
I run the wind round
Em9+/Bb
I dream pictures of houses burning
Gm/D
Never knowing nothing else to do
FC
With death comes the morning
Gm
Unannounced and new
(Em9/BEm9Em9+/BbGm/DDmGmEm9/B)
Was it too much to ask for
To pull a little weight
They forgive everything but greatness
These are scoundrel days
And I'm close to calling out their names
As pride hits my face
EmGDAmCGDAm
See...as our lives are in the making
EmGDAmCGD
We believe through their lies and the hating
AmGmFCEbGmFCEb
That love goes free through scoundrel days
GmFCEbGmFCEb
(Em9/BEm9Em9+/BbGm/DDmGmEm9/B)
I reach the edge of town
I've got blood in my hair
Their hands touch my body
From everywhere
But I know as I've made it
As I run into the air
EmGDAmCGDAm
And see...as our lives are in the making
EmGDAmCGDAm
We believe through the lies and the hating
AmEmGDAmCGD
That love goes free
AmGm
Through scoundrel days
