[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
AChoke on a crooked breath
AIn a dope nose delirium
AYou got a fragile face in a public place
AWe walk through the night to get it right
ATo have a confession
F#mGot a pen in my hand
F#mGot a girl in my head
F#mGot crumbling teeth
F#mI got dirty sheets
F#mI walk through the night
F#mWith a thorn in my side
N.C.
And with no connection
[Chorus]
AThe days Ejust roll by
AAnd the Esongs write themselves
ALike litEtle bombs they just blow up
AFriendly Efire that shoots itself
[Verse 2]
Athis is the house that you’re from
AAnd that is how far you’ve come
AI know why you left
AI think it’s best 
AYou get far away
AAnd set it to flEames
[Chorus]
AThe days Ejust roll by
AAnd the Esongs write themselves
ALike litEtle bombs they just blow up
AFriendly Efire that shoots itself
[Outro] 
A E A E
Repeat Chorus
End on A

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Choke on a crooked breath

In a dope nose delirium

You got a fragile face in a public place

We walk through the night to get it right

To have a confession

F#m

Got a pen in my hand

F#m

Got a girl in my head

F#m

Got crumbling teeth

F#m

I got dirty sheets

F#m

I walk through the night

F#m

With a thorn in my side

N.C.

And with no connection

[Chorus]

A E

The days just roll by

A E

And the songs write themselves

A E

Like little bombs they just blow up

A E

Friendly fire that shoots itself

[Verse 2]

this is the house that you’re from

And that is how far you’ve come

I know why you left

I think it’s best

You get far away

A E

And set it to flames

[Chorus]

A E

The days just roll by

A E

And the songs write themselves

A E

Like little bombs they just blow up

A E

Friendly fire that shoots itself

[Outro]
