G#
There's a shield around us
It's invisible and soundless
B
And we drink too much and fuck too soon
Smoke cigarettes in rented rooms
C#m
We quit our jobs and shoot the moon
E G#
And cut our wrists and sleep til noon
[Verse 2]
G#
There's a shield around us
We're invincible and boundless
B
And we're on the run from I don't know
We're Patty Hearst and Squeaky Fromme
C#m
Asleep on subways far from home
E G#
You'd think we'd never seen a comb
[Chorus]
E
Sent a letter to Mom and Dad
G#
Mom and Dad, the money's running out
E
Got a letter from Mom and Dad
G#
They didn't send me anything
[Verse 3]
G#
There's a shield around us
We are heady we are groundless
B
And we burn our friends and kill their names
Build insecure and petty fames
C#m
And tattoo things that we believe
E G#
Stars and skulls and hearts in half-sleeves
[Verse 4]
G#
There's a shield around us
Tell me, how is it you've found us
B
Cause we hide our tracks and watch the ground
Our footfalls they don't make a sound
C#m
We've cursed the names of our hometowns
E G#
We're compassless and nowhere bound
[Chorus]
E
Sent a letter to Mom & Dad
G#
Mom and Dad, the money's running out
E
Got a letter from Mom and Dad
G#
I swear to God they don't get me at all
[Outro]
