[Verse 1]
BmWas that somebody's screamEm, It wasn't me for sure
BbI lift my head up from uneasy pillows, GmPut my feet on the floor
DmI Cut my wrist on a bad thought Gmand head for the door
[Verse 2]
BmOutside on the pavement, EmThe dark makes no noise
BbI can feel the sweat on my lips Gmleaking into my mouth
DmI'm heading out for the steep hills, GmThey're leaving me no chBmoice
[Chorus]
And EmseeG..D.as our Amlives are in the CmaGkingD  Am  
We beEmlieGve Dthrough the Amlies and the ChaGtingD  
That Amlove goes EmfreeG  Am  
[Verse 3]
BmFor want of an option EmI run the wind 'round
BbI dream pictures of houses burning never Gmknowing nothing else to do
FWith death comes the morCning Gmunannounced and new
[Verse 4]
BmWas it too much to ask for Emto pull a little weight
BbThey forgive everything but greatness, GmThese are scoundrel days
DmAnd I'm close to calling out their names Gmas pride hits my fBmace
[Chorus]
And EmseeG..D.as our Amlives are in the CmaGkingD  Am  
We beEmlieGve Dthrough the Amlies and the ChaGtingD  
That Amlove goes Gmfree F   Emthrough Ebscoundrel GmdayFsEm  Eb  
[Instrumental]
Gm   F   Em   Eb(2x)
[Verse 5]
BmI reach the edge of town, EmI've got blood in my hair
BbTheir hands touch my body Gmfrom everywhere
DmBut I know that I've made it Gmas I run into the aiBmr
[Chorus]
And EmseeG..D.as our Amlives are in the CmaGkingD  Am  
We beEmlieGve Dthrough the Amlies and the ChaGtingD  
That Amlove goes Emfree G   D   Am   C   G   DThrough Amscoundrel Gdays
