Trauma

D C G A# G X2

[Verse]
D                                 
What makes a girl start a fire in 
        C
the hall
               G              
Leave a lipstick scrawl on the 
 A#       G
bathroom mirror?
D                      C
She won't settle for a pile of scrap
 metal
          G                    
While you work the gas pedal at 
  A#           G
another man's steer
D                         C
She takes her time as authorities 
arrive
      G                      A#   
Going out for a smoke in the empty
      G
 back lot
D                      C
She sees the world she imagined as a
 girl
      G                    A#  
Was a lottery ticket for a phony 
      G
jackpot

[Chorus]
E                                 
Years roll on and we still have 
  G              D
not dealt with our trauma

E                                 
Years roll on and we still have 
  G             A
not looked at our sin

[Verse 2]
D                       C
What makes a man take a hammer in 
his hand
          G                     
Shatter every last window of the 
   A#      G
company store
D                C
At 3 AM with the furies back again?
         G                    
Now it's him against them in a 
 A#       G
personal war
D                  C
The mind snaps and economies 
collapse
         G                         
When the one who works hardest gets
     A#       G
 the smallest reward
D               C
The big scam is nobody gives a damn
         G                         
That the penthouse suite depends on
     A#           G
 the bottom three floors

[Bridge]
Bm   G                          
And I know how hard you've been 
D
working
Bm     G                        
We all know somebody who's been 
D
killed
Bm                         G
We hold power, though it's only for 
the hour
        D
Let the ivory tower know the power 
we wield
Bm                       G       
They know we got 'em and empire's
                         D
 in its autumn when it's built

From the bottom and the bottom won't
 build

[Chorus]
E                                 
Years roll on and they still have 
    G              D
not dealt with our trauma
E                                 
Years roll on and they still have 
    G               A
not looked at their sin
