On and Copen road and a Gvirgin kick to Fmaj7chaos
with an angel tattooed Cto her inGner tFmaj7high,
wild eyes rCeflected, and the Dmneon sign.
I did not Emask for love,
merely the Gsame miG7stake
Don't be a Cfool with that,
your Guseless plastic Fmaj7pistol,
On my signal, we will Cdrop our stupid
Gcause and disapFmaj7pear into the night.
As it Cstands, we're trading Dmpotions
for new Empotions to be Fswallowed whole.
We make the Gsame mistaG7ke.
AmWhat to imply?
Have you picked a Fpart?
G/CStaying in the action.
Where's the Gaction?
AmHere we are, drawing Fstraws,
taking sides when we Garen't
letting up and letting go.
Letting Fup.
Letting Ggo.
Manacles and endless lists on a shelf.
Our wealth, it will be squandered
by subtle gusts of cold wind,
cars rusting below the bridge.
And shouts behind the factory,
at first frightening,
but it's just kids beginning
To make the same mistakes
On an open road
On an open road
On an open road
We make the same mistake

On and open road and a virgin kick to chaos

with an angel tattooed to her inner thigh,

wild eyes reflected, and the neon sign.

I did not ask for love,

merely the same mistake

Don't be a fool with that,

G Fmaj7

your useless plastic pistol,

On my signal, we will drop our stupid

G Fmaj7

cause and disappear into the night.

As it stands, we're trading potions

Where's the action?

Am F

Here we are, drawing straws,

taking sides when we aren't

letting up and letting go.

Letting up.

Letting go.

Manacles and endless lists on a shelf.

Our wealth, it will be squandered

by subtle gusts of cold wind,

cars rusting below the bridge.

And shouts behind the factory,

at first frightening,

but it's just kids beginning

To make the same mistakes

On an open road

We make the same mistake
