Key: EbHard

Eb/D

Ab/C

Eb/B

Eb/C

Eb/D

EbWhat you found Eb/Dsure upset you,

EbNever saw it Eb/Dcoming did you?

It's Ebeasy to be surEb/Dprised

With both your Ebeyes sewn Eb/Dclosed.

EbHandled with Eb/Dgreat precision,

AnEbother faultlessEb/D execution,

You're the Ebsubject of this eEb/Dxhibition,

A Ebwilling cadaver, a Eb/Dwilling cadaver.

DbScalpled, Ab/Csutured, Bmade whole aEbgaiEb/Dn. Eb Eb/D

EbThese cuts are Eb/Dleaving creases.

EbTrace the scars, to Eb/Dfit the pieces,

To Ebtell your story, you Eb/Ddon't need to

say a Ebword. Eb/D

EbCall off the Eb/Dcavalry,

Ebcan't save a Eb/Dwretch like me.

EbClean this with Eb/Dkerosene,

If you Ebcan't leave it be, might as Eb/Dwell make it bleed.

DbScalpled, Ab/Csutured, Bmade whole

aEbgaiEb/Bn. Eb/C Eb/B Eb Eb/B Eb/C Eb/B

EbYou're wires are Eb/Bfrayed, can't fire Eb/Cright,

You look betEb/Bter when out of Ebsight,

You were not Eb/Bmade to stand and Eb/Cfight,

There's something Eb/Bbetter wrong with Ebyou.

You're wires are Eb/Bfrayed, can't fire Eb/Cright,

You look betEb/Bter when out of Ebsight,

You were not Eb/Bmade to stand and Eb/Cfight,

There's something Eb/Bbetter wrong with Ebyou.

You're Ebpulse is anemic, you're Eb/Btired of the fire,

You're Eb/Cbruising too easy, and Eb/Bfalling behind,

And Ebno one is waiting for Eb/Byou,

And Eb/Cno one is waiting for Eb/Byou.

EbEb/BEb/CEb/B

And Ebno one is Eb/Bwaiting for Eb/Cyou, Eb/B

And Ebno one is Eb/Bwaiting and Eb/Cno one is Eb/Bwaiting

For EbyouEb/B for Eb/Cyou for Eb/Byou Eb/D

EbSo call off the Eb/Dquarantine,

Ebcan't save the Eb/Drest from me.

EbClean this with Eb/Dkerosene,

If you Ebcan't leave it be might as Eb/Dwell make it bleed.

DbScalpled, Ab/Csutured, Bmade whole again.

EbYou're wires are Eb/Bfrayed, can't fire Eb/Cright,

You look betEb/Bter when out of Ebsight,

You were not Eb/Bmade to stand and Eb/Cfight,

There's something Eb/Bbetter wrong with Ebyou.

We Fight

Key: DmHard

DmWe were the kids that Left home probably Ftoo young

DmBut we took our share and maybe Fthen some

DmTired of beatings and battles and being Fsewn up

But that made us Dmgrow up, and that made 'em Fscared

FCause we never learned to keep our voices dGmown

No, we only learned to Dmshout

So we fight our way inBb (we fight our way in)

And we fight our way out

FAnd we earned what we could from the gGmround up

And tried to lift the whole damn Dmcrowd up

So we fight our way inBb (we fight our way in)

And we fight our way out

FWe fight our way in (we fight our way in)

GmAnd we fight our way out (and we fight our way out)

DmWe fight our way in (we fight our way in)

BbAnd we fight our way out (and we fight our way out)

DmAnd there's still a kid somewhere that needs to Fhear this

That somebody Dmcares, that somebody Fknows

Who's Dmtired of bleeding and battered and being Ftorn up

Just pick yourDmself up, it's time to Fgo

FCause we never learned to keep our voices Gmdown

No, we only learned to Dmshout

So we fight our way inBb (we fight our way in)

And we fight our way out

FAnd we earned what we could from the Gmground up

And tried to lift the whole damn Dmcrowd up

So we fight our way inBb (we fight our way in)

And we fight our way out

FWe fight our way in (we fight our way in)

GmAnd we fight our way out (and we fight our way out)

DmWe fight our way in (we fight our way in)

BbAnd we fight our way out (and we fight our way out)

BbMaybe we found a way to make some Ctracks

We didn't snicker and turn our Dmbacks

We just keep digging in, and Bbdigging in, and giving back

FGmDmBb

FCause we never learned to keep our voices Gmdown

No, we only learned to Dmshout

CBbFAbF

CBbFFAbFFAb

AbThe signal is subtle

FWe pass just Fclose enough to touch

AbNo questions, no answers

FWe know by Fnow to say enough

AbWith only simple words

FWith only Fsubtle turns

AbThe things we feel alone for one another

There is a Fsecret that we Bbkeep

I won't Csleep if you won't sleep

Because toFnight may be the Bblast chance we'll be Abgiven

We are compFelled to Bbdo what Cwe must do

We are comFpelled to do what Bbwe have been forAbbidden

FSo I won't sleep if Fyou won't sleep tonight

AbOur act of defiance

FWe keep this Fsecret in our blood

AbNo paper or letters

FWe pass just Fclose enough to touch

AbWe love in secret names

FWe hide withFin our veins

AbThe things that keep us bound to one another

There is a Fsecret that we Bbkeep

I won't Csleep if you won't sleep

Because toFnight may be the Bblast chance we'll be Abgiven

We are comFpelled to Bbdo what Cwe must do

We are comFpelled to do what Bbwe have been forAbbidden

Until the Bblast resilient hope

Has frozen Fdeep inside my bones

And this Cbroken fate has claimed me

And my Fmemories for its own

Your name is Bbpounding through my veins

Can't you Fhear how it is sung?

And I can Ctaste you in my mouth

Before the Abwords escape my lungs

And I'll wChisper only once...

There is a Fsecret that we Bbkeep

Because toFnight may be the Bblast chance we'll be Abgiven

We are comFpelled to Bbdo what we Chave to

We are comFpelled to do what Bbwe have been forAbbidden

'Cause you will Fbe someBbbody'sC girl

I'm Amissing you bad, I never sEleep.

And this F#mbottle of beast is Ataking me home. D

I'm cuddling close Ato blankets and shEeets,

But you're noF#mt alone, and you're noAt discrete.

Make sure I knF#mow who's taking me homeA. D

And theF#mre's not a word that I cEomprehend,

Except where you F#msigned it "I will love you always aAnd forever." B

--Bridge--

Well as for now I'F#mm gonna hear the saddest songsD,

And sit alone andF#m wonder, how yDou're making out. E

But asF#m for me, I wish that I was anAywhere,

With Aanyone, making outD...

--Verse 2--

I'm missing yoF#mur laugh, how did itA break?

And when did yoF#mur eyes begin to lookA fake?

I hope you're as hF#mappy as you're pretendinDg.

I'm cudEdling close to blankets and sheeAts.

I am alF#mone in my dAefeat,

I wishF#m I knew we were safelyD at home.

I'm missing yoF#mu bad, I never slAeep.

Avoiding F#mthe spots where we'd havAe to speak.

And this F#mbottle of beast is Ataking me home. D

--Bridge--

--Chorus--

--Outro--

E Your Dhair, it's EeveryDwhere. Screaming inF#mfidelities andD taking its wF#mear. D

A Your hair, it's GeveryAwhere!! GScreaming infideAlities and taGking its weDar.

And to close the song:
