Intro:
 G   Bm   C   G(D)
GIn one of those they say we must Bmwatch your name drop over and over again
CNo-one knows the reason nothing GstaysD  
GAnd maybe she's long gone Bmbreaking backs in too many middle states
CNo-one knows the difference all the GwayD  
CSo open your lungs, they're bleeding, Dcover your bones, give it right back
C'Cause these girls are done believing, Dholding their breath until they collapse
GSplit lips, gone swollen faces, Bmslip down the ice on Western Avenue
CAnd I've been to slower places, seen colder Gdays, we can Dstay
GYou know enough for me to trust, Bmso crush it up, put me back together
CBut if you have to make us pay, what can I Gsay? Just keep me Daway.
CThree names and one condition, Dcount the ways to put it all back
CLong lines and bold predictions, Dholding your breath until the impact
And Gdon't leave me Cout, keep my Emplace under the ground for the Dair we're breathing
And Gdon't fuck arounCd, simple Emwords will make the darker places Dless deceiving
EmSlow ~ Bmdown
Talking Cloud to lonely faces, time can Dtell these days are not worth saving
EmSlow ~ Bmdown
Waiting Cfor the cold to stop still close eDnough to lose the thaw, waging a war on words you forgot to say

But if you have to make us pay, what can I say? Just keep me away.
