[Verse 1]
G5Faster than C5hope flies G5cold through my E5veins
G5Faster than C5cruelty could drE5ain it G5out
G5I commit cC5rimes and I G5call them misE5takes
G5Nothing denC5ies like a hE5eart in dG5oubt
G5This I know pC5eople flow like strG5eams where I E5bathe
G5Then drift alC5ong to a E5foreign plG5ace
G5The past like a C5servant that G5bends for our E5sake
G5Into the C5lines we tell E5it to tA5race
[Chorus]
C5Like how we are E5wired
C5Like how we deE5cide
C5Like how we are taught
E5Like how we are C5not
Like how we G5hide ourselves in E5vainG5  E5  
[Verse 2]
G5Laughter in C5sunshine, G5laughter in E5pain
G5Keeps pace of C5heart in an E5honest G5life
But G5after the C5fondness for G5life is eE5rased
G5What races C5on in my E5soul beG5sides
G5Rabid mutts that C5fight and fuck and G5howl till they E5faint
G5They too run C5on when the E5moon is G5lit
G5Faster than C5love turns itG5self into E5rage
G5Faster than C5I attempt E5to forA5get
[Chorus]
C5Like how we deE5sire

[Intro]

| | | | |

[Verse 1]

G5 C5 G5 E5

Faster than hope flies cold through my veins

G5 C5 E5 G5

Faster than cruelty could drain it out

G5 C5 G5 E5

I commit crimes and I call them mistakes

G5 C5 E5 G5

Nothing denies like a heart in doubt

G5 C5 G5 E5

This I know people flow like streams where I bathe

G5 C5 E5 G5

Then drift along to a foreign place

G5 C5 G5 E5

The past like a servant that bends for our sake

G5 C5 E5 A5

Into the lines we tell it to trace

[Chorus]

C5 E5

Like how we are wired

C5 E5

Like how we decide

Like how we are taught

E5 C5

Like how we are not

G5 E5 G5 E5

Like how we hide ourselves in vain

[Verse 2]

G5 C5 G5 E5

Laughter in sunshine, laughter in pain

G5 C5 E5 G5

Keeps pace of heart in an honest life

G5 C5 G5 E5

But after the fondness for life is erased

G5 C5 E5 G5

What races on in my soul besides

G5 C5 G5 E5

Rabid mutts that fight and fuck and howl till they faint

G5 C5 E5 G5

They too run on when the moon is lit

G5 C5 G5 E5

Faster than love turns itself into rage

G5 C5 E5 A5

Faster than I attempt to forget

[Chorus]

C5 E5

Like how we desire

C5 E5

Like how we embrace

Like how we give up

E5 C5

Like how we make love

G5 E5 G5 E5

Like how we taste when we're spit away

[Solo]

D5 C5 G5

[Chorus]

C5 E5

Like how we are wild

C5 E5

Like how we are pure

Like how we despise

E5 C5

Like how we tell lies

G5 E5

Like how we're sure we're gonna change

G5 E5

We're gonna change

G5 E5 G5 C5 G5

We're gonna change
