BmBackfire, with Aa smokinGg gun

And the mask falls off for everyone to see
Backfire, and the coup is done
Pull the needle out, its time to run from me
[Bridge]
EmBut don’t let thAe truth get high
TGhere’s a new stage and Ema world of lies Bmto breathe
[Interlude]

GIts all jaded
 WheEmn the whole world is a mark
Play it Gfierce, its noEmt real
[Verse]
BmBackfire, and tAhe coverG’s blown
DWhat was once Aarcane liGes now exposeBmd
BmBackfire, and tAhe bird Ghas flown   
            D           A              G   A/ Bm  
As the crude disguise is overthrown by greed
[Bridge]
EmBut don’t let thAe truth get high
TGhere’s a new stage and Ema world of lies Bmto breathe

All Emthose years kissing head
