[Verse]
  BmSomewhere there's a Achoice being made
  BmFor the mass by the Awill of a A/F#broken Gfew
Guided by the F#mhand of the guilty
  GPraised as a Acure for a curse
  BmWhen really this is Aall catastrophic
  BmAnd we're tethered to the Ahull of a A/F#sinking Gship
Scratching for a F#mbreath at the surface
  GPraying for the Aropes to slip
[Chorus]
 BmI always knew that the damned would inhAerit the Bmearth
As soon as they Glearned to F#mspeak
We would be DsuffeEmring
BmSucking on the scraps of a wiAcked wBmealth
We were Gbound by F#mneed to vicious DvillaEminy
[Post-Chorus]
  Em7Tear it down, start againBm  
Erasing Em7every trace so stale scars can Bmmend
Then we will siGng
"The Bmway things used to beG"
"The Bmway things used to beG"
"The Bmway things used to beG"
[Bridge]
  BmTear it down, start again
Bm F Bm F G D G F#m
[Chorus]
 BmI always knew that the damned would inhAerit the Bmearth
As soon as they Glearned to F#mspeak
We would be DsuffeEmring
BmSucking on the scraps of a wAicked Bmwealth
We were Gbound by F#mneed to vicious DvillaEminy
 BmI always knew that the damned would inhAerit the Bmearth
As soon as they Glearned to F#mspeak
