Gaug

Abm

First

Key: GMedium

Cheated and Glied, broken so Dbad

You made a Avow, never get Amad

You play the Ggame, though it's Dunfair

They're all the Asame, who can comApare?

GFirst you lose trust, Dthen you get worried A A

Night after Gnight, bar after Dclub

Dropping likeA flies, who woke you Aup

On the front Glawn, sprinklers turned Don

It's not your Ahouse, where'd you go Awrong?

GFirst you get hurt, Dthen you feel sorry A A

Flying like a Gcannonball, falling to the Dearth

Heavy as a Afeather when, you hit the Adirt

How am I the Glucky one?, I do not deDserve

To wait around forAever when, you were there Afirst

GFirst you get hurt, Dthen you feel sorry A A

There comes a Gtime, in a short Dlife

Turn it aAround, get a reAwrite

Call it a Gdark, night of the Dsoul

Ticking of Aclocks, gravity?s Apull

GFirst you get close, Dthen you get worried A A

Flying like a Gcannonball, falling to the Dearth

Heavy as a Afeather when, you hit the Adirt

How am I the Glucky one?, I do not deDserve

To wait around forAever when, you were there Afirst

GFirst you get hurt, Dthen you feel sorry A A

GYou're going silent,Bm the silent treatment

AIt's not inviting now,A don't deny what you meant

GYou get excited,D you get excited

AYou got a feel it, oh, Aat least you can pretend

GYou wanna light it,D you wanna light it

AYou wanna light it now, Athe candle from both ends

GYou get excited,D you get excited A A

FFlying like a cGannonball, falling to the eDarth

Heavy as a Afeather when, you hit the Adirt

How am I the Glucky one?, I do not deDserve

To wait around forAever when, you were there Afirst

Flying like a Gcannonball, falling to the Dearth

Heavy as a Afeather when, you hit the Adirt

Hot Coals

Key: GMedium

G - Em - Bm - Bm (2 times)

I don't feel a Gthing

Walking Emon hot coBmals

No sensitiviGty in a Emfog of Bmwar

Try to unGwind

To enEmjoy the good Bmlife

But the pressure that I Ghold

On my Emshoulders gBmoes

Riff played over the Chorus (2 times) riff starts on "reason"

I suspect the Greason EmI am Bmloved

Is because of Ghow tight I'm Emholding Bmon

Nowadays you're supposed to Gtalk

Problems Emon and Bmon

Whatever happened to the Gold -fashioned

EmStrong and Bmsilent type

What they didn't Gknow is once you Emget us in

BmTouch with our feelings

You would Gnever hear the Emend

Once Bmyou pull the pin

I suspect the Greason EmI am Bmloved

Is because of Ghow tight I'm Emholding Bmon

If I set you Gfree, If EmI let Bmgo

Tell me would I Gstill be the Emone you Bmwant

ADBm

BmEven a broken clock A D

BmIs right twice a day A D

BmEven a busted lock A D

Bm (On this part on the album, one guitar hold the Bm and the other goes back to verse)

Can keep a thief away

He's not the Gtype and soldiers

EmDon't go to Bmhell

It's a Gplace reserved for the

EmTwisted and Bmevil

Now you Gask how I'm Emfeeling

I tBmold you then

You're gonna Gtorture me Emslowly with Bmit

I suspect the Greason EmI am Bmloved

Is because of Ghow tight I'm Emholding Bmon

If I set you Gfree, If EmI let Bmgo

Tell me would I Gstill be the Emone you Bmwant

ENDING (From here out, play open chords)

Can We Hang On

Key: DMedium

I've come here Dnine times asking you do Gnot make it Dten

I'm peeling Goff allD the armor that proAtected my skin

ApoloDgize, I'm laying down my Gego to Drest

Could you be Gmine forD-ever just in Acase it exists?

I think about the Dold days

What we've been Gthrough to surDvive

Do we get Gbetter with Dtime?

Tell me I'm wArong

Looking Dback to the start, who we Gwere when we Dmet

This box of Gpictures tells Da story when we Afight, we forget

And I can Dbarely recognize us, back then Gwe were obDsessed

Can we Gcut out Dthis madness and get Aback to the best?

I think about the Dold days

What we've been Gthrough to surDvive

Do we get Gbetter with Dtime?

Tell me I'm wArong

I'm looking to you Dalways

We follow the Gsame guiding Dlight

Passing like Gships in the Dnight

Can we hang Aon?

Can we hang Bmon?

Can we hang Gon? D

Can we hang Aon?

D This could've gone either way if

G One of us had Dwalked

If GI'd gone off,D and you caved in,A and we broke it off

I'd be lost,D I'd be chasing some broke down dream

GI'd be bored to Ddeath

But Gwe cannot stay Dforever young and Aout of our heads

Out of our heads

I'll think about toDmorrow

If I can Gget through toDnight

I know that Gwe'll be alDright

Can we be sAtrong?

I'm looking to you Dalways

Even though we're like Gships in the Dnight

Don't you go Gpassing me Dby

Can we hang Aon?

Can we hang Bmon?

Can we hang Gon? D

Can we hang Aon?

You can Dfind it

If you're Gdying to Dlive

If you wantG to know Dthe secret, hang oAn

You can Bmfind it

If you're Gdying to Dlive

If you wantG to know Dthe secret, hang oAn

You can Dfind it

If you're Gdying to Dlive

If you wantG to know Dthe secret, hang Aon D

Young girl turn the corner with her clerk dress on, that girl was my sister

Just got off the night shift at Penningtons Place, just wanna go home and get some sleep

Boys grab her by the waist with their caffeine eyes, their hands all figdet and 'lectric

I picked up a brick from my papa's front yard and threw it at the tallest boy's face

Well blood was streaming like a well that sprung, I couldn't believe what I had just done

Well the other boys ran and this one stayed on the ground and he would never move again

Old Saint John on death row, he's just waiting for a pardon

All us boys on death row, we just waiting for a pardon

All us boys on death row

Don't know this change, hopefully someone can edit this & make it right...

Yours truly on trial, I testify

I got to keep on running till the well run dry

Yours truly on trial, I testify

I got to keep on running till the well run dry

Yours truly on trial, I testify

I got to keep on running till the well run dry

Yours truly on trial, I testify
