A# F Gm

D# A# F

You swallow it down or spit it out

But either way let’s move along

I’m radioactive and in pieces

But I’m still feeling strong

I can walk away from all of this

Cars crash I just don’t care

If only you could hold me

Maybe I haven’t learned a thing

I got distracted along the way

shaking hands and looking busy
