Am7That bring a litCtle rust to slow the geaEmrs
[Instrumental]
Am7 C Em
[Verse 2]
Am7Breathe deep and Ccomfort the disturEmbed
Am7Allies cause you Cboth disrupt the herdEm  
Am7In the cave you Cfear what would you find?Em  
Am7Begin to thCink and soon you're undermineEmd
[Pre-Chorus 1]
GWe played our hanDds togetAm7her

GToo rare Dto wateAm7r down now
CSo we'd better try to match her spDeed
[Chorus]
CToast to the red queen aBnd all she has seenEm  
Is it Am7time to drink at your table?
CWe can only wait and Bwatch for sEmo long
CToast to our red queen, Ball those who have beenEm  
SiAm7delined, a lifetime's conviction unstable
CWhere you fall is Bnot where you belongEm  
[Verse 3]
Am7Unify beChind false enemiEmes
Am7Arms race in Chive mentalEmities
Am7Down other lCines we would have been the Emsame
Am7More than the icCe that wears this mask of fEmlame
[Pre-Chorus 2]

And Dso it goes againAm7  
A wEmasted day to vie for Dmy affection
You're just another onAm7e
You gravEmitate to my deDfection

I said I don't mind, but you've touched a nerve

Arms race in hive mentalities

Down other lines we would have been the same

More than the ice that wears this mask of flame

A wasted day to vie for my affection

You're just another one

You gravitate to my defection

Soon you'll come undone

Spiny bottle blacks and blondes

Am7 C B

Can't fake a smile so they draw it on

[Outro]
