Introduction:

             C#                                                 A7+  
I can't leave with words like these
E                                                                              A7+  
They break the bones that hold up my sleeves
                                C#                            A7+            E  
I've got to tie her so high her breath freezes
                  A7+                                         C#m                                         A7+  
before she speaks, but this bus just won't go far enough
                          E                                            A7+                    C#                              A7+                                                                    E  
So I'll strap my face to a homemade bomb and blow the bus stop through the parking lot
                                A7+                                                                         E                 A7+x2)  
We'll celebrate when you were free
C#                                                                      A7+  
I know a place where we can both get laced
E                                                                                    A7+  
Take some time to learn about your face
                C#                              A7+  
about bawling and bell curves
                E                                 A7+  
about strength from inhalers
             C#                                                      A7+  
and I'll take the fifth and you can just sit
                        E                                                                                    A7+  
and I'll watch from a distance while you open it
                     C#                      A7+                    E                                      A7+                 C#            A7+            E            A7+  
This is how I will keep her..in pieces..she's a keeper
          Ab              Bm  
And I'll be holding my breath with the best..
                                                                  A7+  
my breath with the best intentions
                        E                                      A7+                                    C#  
This is not for me, your perfume struggles perfectly
          A7+                                         E  
it wraps around and screams at me,
             A7+                              C#                              A7+                            E  
"My hero tastes like plastic, he's elastic and now he's dead" x2
My straight faced grin is the first to leave hand in hand with the queen of tragedy
             F#m                         A7+         C#                                    B  
And I'll be the reason you'll leave this city x2
             F#m                      A7+            C#                         B  
And I'll be the reason (Not for me)x4
