Bm(6-)
Was that somebody screaming?
Em9
It wasn’t me for sure
Bb6
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows
Gm
Put my feet on the floor
Dm4
Cut my wrist on a bad thought
Gm
And head for the door

Bm(6-)
Outside on the pavement
Em9
The dark makes no noise
Bb6
I can feel the sweat on my lips
Gm
Leaking into my mouth
Dm4
I’m heading out for the steep hills
Gm                       Bm(6-)
They’re leaving me no choice

    Em  G  D
And see..eee
       Am               C  G    D Am
As our lives are in the ma.king
     Em  G  D
We belie.....ve
            Am           C  G    D
Through the lies and the ha.ting
     Am        Em
That love goes free

Bm(6-)
For want of an option
Em9
I run the wind ’round
Bb6
I dream pictures of houses burning
Gm
Never knowing nothing else to do
F                    C
With death comes the morning
Gm
Unannounced and new

Bm(6-)
Was it too much to ask for
Em9
To pull a little weight?
Bb6
They forgive everything but greatness
Gm
These are scoundrel days
Dm4
And I’m close to calling out their names
Gm               Bm(6-)
As pride hits my face

    Em  G  D
And see..eee
       Am               C  G    D Am
As our lives are in the ma.king
     Em  G  D
We belie.....ve
            Am           C  G    D
Through the lies and the ha.ting
     Am        Gm   Gm/F  Gm/E Eb7+
That love goes free
                  Gm   Gm/F  Gm/E Eb7+
Through scoundrel days

( Gm  Gm/F  Gm/E  Eb7+ )

Bm(6-)
I reach the edge of town
Em9
I’ve got blood in my hair
Bb6
Their hands touch my body
Gm
From everywhere
Dm4
But I know that I’ve made it
Gm                      Bm(6-)
As I run into the air

    Em  G  D
And see..eee
       Am               C  G    D Am
As our lives are in the ma.king
     Em  G  D
We belie.....ve
            Am           C  G    D
Through the lies and the ha.ting
     Am        Em   G  D  Am  C  G  D
That love goes free
         Am       Gm
Through scoundrel days
