    Am ~ ~

 

                     Am                    G                            D

1. The bitter taste, I hold my tongue, the manic hope, the damage done.

                     Am                   G                   D

    It's bittersweet, black on gold, talk is cheap, or so I'm told.

                     Am

    I'm gonna ride this back to the edge of town,

     G

    roll to the bridge with my eyes shut

                               D

    and spit at the stars, and scream in the dark.

                  Am

    There's nothing I can do to change it now,

                 G

    but if I cut myself open, baby,

                                        D

    you can read all my scars, read all my scars.

 

      F           Am                   C                    G

Hello, goodbye, there's a million ways to die.

                  F

Should've let me way back,

                Am                                   C              - G

should've let me way back by the roadside.

       F          Am              C                           G

Hello, goodbye, I was staring in the devil's eyes.

                  F                                        Am

Should've let me way back, should've let me way back

             C           - D                   Am

by the roadside,       it's a bitter taste.

 

                   Am               G                D

2. Jagged stain on my skin, broken leg, born again.

                        Am                G                     D

    You are the guy, upside down, twisted free, my new crown.

                     Am

    I'm gonna ride this back to the break of day,

      G

    rolling through the goggle of the fountain,

                              D

    won't take it away, I'm not gonna change.

                     Am

    I'm gonna live so hard, these broken wings

           G

    will lift me to the sun so I can burn

                      D

    up in the clinch, again and again.

 

      F           Am                   C                    G
