C*
Bad boys and painkillers
C*
Together like peas in a pod
           F
Look at me just sticking around
F
The oxygen draining through my blood
C*
Body crunched up and tight
C*
Pounding and kicking me blind
           F
Failing my body design
F
Digging trenches, looking for mines

Bb F

CHORUS:
 Dm  Am   G
(Bad boys and) Looking for a new way out
 C   G   Am
(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love
 Dm  Am   G
(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask
 C   G   Am
(Painkillers)

C*
Bad boys and painkillers
C*
Drags me down so I'm miserable
               F
Buy some time, I'm coming unstuck
F
Leave me here, I'll crawl my way back
C*
Cold as statues with such grace
C*
My head imprinted with your face
               F
I long for longing in this place
F
It's no so hard with some patience

Bb F

CHORUS:
 Dm  Am   G
(Bad boys and) Shaking like there's no way out
 C   G   Am
(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love
 Dm  Am   G
(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask
 C   G   Am
(Painkillers)

               F
Never complain or explain
      G
Never felt lucky or shame
F
Microclimates and acid baths
           G
Epic human achievement at last

CHORUS:
 Dm  Am   G
(Bad boys and) Still shaking still shaking
 C   G   Am
(Painkillers) Swollen hands looking for love
 Dm  Am   G
(Bad boys and) Safe from harm is all I ask
 C   G   Am
(Painkillers)
