D G
[Verse 1]
D
You were terrible
D
And you were kind
G C D
Between the shield, between the mime
D
You were terrifying
D
And oh so strange
G C D
Witnessing your red lit game
A
Empty eyes roll over my spine
A
We heard
G C D A
Barking dogs in the flickering light
[Pre-chorus]
G D
Hold me, hold me, hold me by the water so wide
G D
Show me all is well on the inside
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Born and bred
D
The weak, the wise
Em Bm D
Remind me how to love but how to lie
Em Bm D
Born and raised, the meek and the mild
Em Bm D
Remind me how to live I’m half-alive
D G
[Verse 2]
D
And the floorboards were creaking
D
Under all of our feet
G C D A
And we hid from the faces and their gleaming white teeth
Bm
All the feathers were dancing
Bm
Over all of our heads
G C D A
And no cheers from a crowd that had already left
[Pre-chorus]
G D
Hold me, hold me, hold me by the water so wide
G D
Show me all is well on the inside
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Born and bred
D
The weak, the wise
Em Bm D
Remind me how to love but how to lie
Em Bm D
Born and raised, the meek and the mild
Em Bm D
Remind me how to live I’m half-alive
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Born and bred
D
The weak, the wise
Em Bm D
Remind me how to love but how to lie
Em Bm D
Born and raised, the meek and the mild
Em Bm D
Remind me how to live I’m half-alive
