[Intro]
Bm   F#7
[Verse]
DBmare me to jump off of this Jersey Bmbridge
I bet you never had a Friday night like F#7this
Keep it up keep it up lets raise our hF#7ands
I take a look up in the sky and I see Bmred
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy,
BmRed for the drink that's mixed with sF#7uicide.
Everything red.
[Chorus]
GPlease, won't you push me for the last time,
Lets scream until there'As nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore.
GThe thought of you is no fucking fun.
You want a martyr, I'll be oneA  
Because enough's enough,
We're done.
BmYou told me, "think about it"
Well I dGid, now I don't wanna feel a thing anyEmmore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I wF#7ant,
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor.
[Verse]
BmThe thing I think I love
BmWill surely bring me pain
F#7Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
BmThree cheers for throwing up
BmPubescent drama queen
F#7You make me sick, I make it worse Gby drinking late.
[Chorus]
(Scream) Until there's nothiAng left
So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore
GThe thought of you is no fuckiGng fun
You want a martyr I'll be Aone
Because enough's enough we're doneBm  
You told me, "think about it", well I Gdid
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymEmore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I wF#7ant
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the flBmoor.
Imagine living like a king someGday.
A single night without a ghost in the wEmalls.
And if the bass shakes the earth underF#7ground.
We'll start a new revolution BmNOW!
[Bridge]
(Alright here we go)
BmHail Mary, forgive me
F#7Blood for blood, hearts beating
BmCome at me, now this is war!
F#7Fuck with this new beat
Oh
NOW!
[Verse]
BmTerror begins inside a bloodless vein
BmI was just a product of the street youth rage
F#7Born in this world without a voice or say
F#7Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
BmI know you well but this ain't a game
BmBlow the smoke in diamond shape
F#7Dying is a gift so,
F#7Close your eyes and rest in peace
[Chorus]
BmYou told me, "think about it", well I Gdid
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anyEmmore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I wF#7ant
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the fBmloor.
Imagine living like a king soGmeday.
A single night without a ghost in the wEmalls.
We are the shadows screBming take us nF#7ow
We'd rather die than live to rust on the Bmground.

Bm Bm

Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge

F#7

I bet you never had a Friday night like this

F#7

Keep it up keep it up lets raise our hands

I take a look up in the sky and I see red

Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy,

Bm F#7

Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide.

Everything red.

[Chorus]

Please, won't you push me for the last time,

Lets scream until there's nothing left

So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore.

The thought of you is no fucking fun.

You want a martyr, I'll be one

Because enough's enough,

We're done.

You told me, "think about it"

I was just a product of the street youth rage

F#7

Born in this world without a voice or say

Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain

I know you well but this ain't a game

Blow the smoke in diamond shape

F#7

Dying is a gift so,

F#7

Close your eyes and rest in peace

[Chorus]

Bm G

You told me, "think about it", well I did

Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore

F#7

I'm tired of begging for the things that I want

I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor.

Imagine living like a king someday.

A single night without a ghost in the walls.

We are the shadows screBming take us now

We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground.
