Am7 Am7M G E7 F7M
Stare me down, shake me up for you only live once
Am7 Am7M G E7 F7M
spoil me, turn me special. no one likes a bad sport.
Am7 Am7M G E7
i concluded long ago that your wires had been cut
F7M
and that's a flaw
Dm F7M
I scratched the metal, and it cut me back
C7M G7M
where are the morals and the thanks?
Dm F7M
and all the blankets of angst and promise
E7M
wrap themselves around my head
C7M Em
When you're speaking, don't hold your tongue
F7M Fm
'cause the population likes to hear what you say
C7M Em
and while you're livin', don't hold your breathe
F7M Fm Am7
'cause the door will only stay open for so long
C7
but when you're walkin' be careful who you step on
Dm7 F7
then have the audacity to look to the bottoms of your shoes
Am7 Am7M G E7 F7M
To avoid piercing sighs, keep your eyes straight ahead.
Am7 Am7M G E7 F7M
burn me, cut me open. can't afford to be late.
Am7 Am7M G
I grind my coffee at midnight
E7 F7M
and it waits for you there in styrofoam
Dm F7M
The clock is crying he doesn't know when.
C7M G7M
but it's okay 'cause the sun's still up.
Dm F7M
your stares turn to the other direction
E7M
and ice heats up and heartbeats melt
Chorus
Dm7
{to look to the bottoms of your} shoes
Am D7M
and when they break, guess who'll be watchin'
F7M Fm Dm7
guess who'll be markin' their words
Am D7M
and when i break, i won't be askin', no.
F7M Fm
i won't be askin'.
Am7 G E7 F7M Am
stare me down, shake me up for you only live once.
