I’m all undecorated, cigarettes,

And standard white apartment walls

But I’m all sore eyes and beasts

G D Dsus4 D Dsus4

At my backdoor, pulling out their claws

[Chorus]

So yes I will take those

Whatever else they give me

If it stops the nightmares

It probably won’t kill me

So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights

And sometimes you just can’t get them back

[Verse 4]

G G/F#

And you might be an angel or a devil, I don’t know

Em7

But if in fact you are now, love, well, I’ve been there before

I’ve fallen on my face and I’ve been burned so near to death

D Dsus4 D Dsus4

I probably wont live through it.........anyhow

[Chorus]

So yes I will take those

G D

Whatever else they give me

If it stops the nightmares

It probably won’t kill me
