[Intro]
G
[Verse]
GHe took it straight in the teeth
To find out what was uEm7nderneath
You’re still alive even iCadd9f you can’t breathe
Ah Joe, you’re a hGero to me
GHey Lu, I’m in love with you
Your kind of work and that lEm7ean for a truth
What else were you gCadd9onna do?
Hey Lu, I’m in loGve with you
[Chorus]
And Em7all the crowds, they call so loud
For hCadd9ollow clowns
And their useless sGentiments
It’s all so bDsus4ent
Who’s paying the rCadd9ent?
[Verse]
Aw Paul, why’d you dGisappear?
Was there something ringing Em7in your ear?
Or did you just grow tCadd9ired of tears?
Aw Paul, why’d you dGisappear?
GDisenchantment is a ruthless bomb
But it never stopped CEm7hrissie or Tom
You could be sometCadd9hing, Anyone!
Battle born when the dGaylight comes
[Chorus]
And Em7all the crowds, they call so loud
For hCadd9ollow clowns
And their useless sGentiments
It’s all so bDsus4ent
Who’s paying the rCadd9ent?
[Verse]
On a dGark lit night
In the throes of anEm7other fight
I heard a song mCadd9ade me feel alright
Made me wanna expGlode into light
GI don’t know if there’s more than this
A loud guitar, sEm7ome comfort or a kiss
All I know is that it’s the sCadd9hape of a fist
And it’s pounding insGide your ribs
[Outro]
Until the wGheels come off
No matter the hEm7urt or the cost
Screaming hope in the lCadd9and of the lost
Until the wGheels come off
Until the wGheels come off
No matter the hEm7urt or the cost
Screaming hope in the lCadd9and of the lost
Until the wGheels come off
Until the wGheels come off
Until the wEm7heels come off
Until the wCadd9heels come off
In the laGnd of the lost

You’re still alive even if you can’t breathe

Ah Joe, you’re a hero to me

Hey Lu, I’m in love with you

Screaming hope in the land of the lost

Until the wheels come off

Until the wheels come off

Until the wheels come off

In the land of the lost
