Default Blues

             B                   
Turn off the light bulb ache to a 
               A   F#
shrieking pain
          B                      
Turn that hair into a haircut and 
                 A    F#
change your name
            B                      
Through the yellow teeth white lies
          A   F#
 are told
       B                           
Of the notches made in the house of
      A    F#
 smoke
            B
So pick the padlocked case in the 
padlocked room
         A                       
Wipe the smile from your face and 
          F#
sing the default blues

And go

[Chorus]
E             B               F#
 What are you running from, a-ha
             E
What are you running from, ahh
             B                  F#
The past may die but it's never gone
             E
What are you running from, ahh

[Instrumental]
B B A F# x2

[Verse 2]
        B                          
This is textbook heartbreak from 
                A   F#
the country school
        B                      
The prescription sculpture of a 
                  A   F#
thoughtless stool
Continúa después del anuncio
                B                
You've got your heroin monologues 
                           A   F#
that you lifted from books
           B                       
Now you're wearing a helmet whilst 
                         A   F#
you're breaking the rules
         B
Pick the padlocked case in the 
padlocked room
         A                       
Wipe the smile from your face and 
          F#
sing the default blues

It goes

[Chorus]
E             B               F#
 What are you running from, a-ha
             E
What are you running from, ahh
             B                  F#
The past may die but it's never gone
             E
What are you running from, ahh
             B               F#
What are you running from, a-ha
             E
What are you running from, ahh
               B             F#
The accent you hid behind is gone
             E
What are you running from, ahh

[Bridge]
B  B

      A                   F#
There isn't a cure, there isn't a 
cure
B  B
      A                   F#
There isn't a cure
          B                        
Save your wax world torture for 
                  A   F#
your modeling friends
       B                           
Speak emotional trash straight from
                 A   F#
 Zimmerman's bin
         B
Pick the padlocked case in the 
padlocked room
         A                       
Wipe the smile from your face and 
          F#
sing the default blues

It goes

[Chorus]
             B               F#
What are you running from, a-ha
             E
What are you running from, ahh
               B             F#
The accent you hid behind is gone
             E
What are you running from, ahh
E             B               F#
 What are you running from, a-ha
             E
What are you running from, ahh
             B                  F#
The past may die but it's never gone
             E
What are you running from, ahh
