[Verse 1]

F# Bbm

We sway like brittle branches

One gust and to earth, we come

F# Bbm

I’m grinning because I know

I’m grinning just because

F# Bbm

Taking orders never suited me

Saying no just for the thrill

F# Bbm

But tonight we’re moving slowly

C# B C#

While the cavalry moves in for the  kill

B C#

Moves in for the kill

B C# D#

Minor

Moves in for the kill

[Chorus]

B C# D#m

I’m tired and I’m sore (sore, sore, sore, sore)

B C# D#m

I’m not so young anymore (anymore, anymore)

B C# D#m

Worn down, but I imagine (sore, sore, sore, sore)

B C# F#

This uniform stays in fashion

[Verse 2]

F# Bbm C#

We’ve poured ourselves in these sweet white dying dogs

F# Bbm

Some nights not kissing

Some nights just because

F# Bbm

If we hear a crash

We can only expect the worst

F# Bbm

But tonight we’re moving fast

C# B C#

While the party resumes the search

B C#

Resumes the search

B C# D#m

Resumes the search

[Chorus]

B C# D#m

I’m tired and I’m sore (sore, sore, sore, sore)

B C# D#m

I’m not so proud anymore (anymore, anymore)

B C# D#m

Worn down, but I’ve decided (sore, sore, sore, sore)

B C# F#

It’s open casket you’re all invited

[Bridge]

My head in your lap from the wandering blackout

Bbm C#

The touch of your hand, you’re the last one to back out

There’s nothing to argue, there’s only a title

The worst’s yet to come well the worst’s not invited

Bbm

I make separate fists while I swallowed the pride

Bbm
