D
[Verse 1]
A D
We’ve been butting our heads until there is nothing left
A D
Flumpity Dumpty, we cracked each other's eggs
A
We just talk of disrespect
D
And unconsidered blood and stomach and leg
A D
Swell and overspill and pungent sweat
A D
We want to sing song like wicker man
A D
But instead we just bicker, man
A D
And I planned something better in my head
A D
But we traveled the world to argue about how something was said
[Chorus]
D
We have each other’s backs
Bm D
We both have bad backs
F#m D
Is it constructive criticism
Bm D
Or just a form of attack?
F#m D
It’s all push and pull
B#m D
Conversations on tension
F#m Dm D
There’s more baggage than our gear
Bm7 A D
We try to keep it unmentioned
[Verse 2]
D
Oh the shows, the sights, the elation
A D
So quickly met with a negation
The self hatred I tried to better direct
A D
There’s a rug you pull that resets my head
D
And I have tried to have some pride
A D
But it is so hard with you by my side
D
You like to remind me who I am
A D
And as I try to build a better life you nay-say my plans
[Chorus]
F#m D
We have each other’s backs
Bm D
We both have bad backs
F#m D
Is it constructive criticism
Dm D
Or just a form of attack?
F#m D
It’s all push and pull
Bm D
Conversations on tension
Dm D
There’s more baggage than our gear
Bm D
We try to keep it unmentioned
[Bridge]
D
I can try so hard
D
I can fall so fast
D D
Recognise a little thanks
D D D
Best I’m gonna get from you today
D D
You do not try so I do not too
D D D
Soon we are both ashamed so I hide my face from you and
[Verse 3]
D D D
The tether binds, don’t want to share sometimes
D
All my life sliced down the middle
A D
The huff and the puff
D D
The strop and the snap
D D D D D
Is it constructive criticism or just a form of attack?
B D
Now what is said behind my back?
B D
Oh how do you skew the facts?
D
So many details missed out
Bm D B D B D
Your actions hurt me more now
