Intro:

Dm Bb A

| | | | | 2x

Dm Bb

tell them a hole was dug for someone

to really rub it in

Dm Bb

there is no pure integrity anymore

no place left to run

because of what we've done

Gm Am Dm C G7

so cancel that last order

Eb D

this one won't bargain anymore

Gm Eb D Gm

this one's off on his own forever

Dm Bb

denials I thought I had to carry through

would settle in my soul

slowly discrete

between the barcode

and the solitary streak

that's where we used to meet

Gm Am Dm C G7

to cancel each other's out

Eb D

I won't bargain for the remains

Gm Eb D Gm

I'm not expecting anything beautiful in exchange

Cm7

someone should have told

homes spawn roads

Am F

now we're off on our own

I'm one of them

I'm one of those

who made up the the mountains

when others carve for gold

it's only fools gold

so why would I bargain

Dm Bb A

C C7

so why would I bargain?

one day we'll rejoin

with every kick in the groin

C C7

and spit in the eye

that we expected

but never received

C C7

but should have delivered

one day we'll rejoin

with both sides

C C7

on that infamous coin

F Dm

someone tossed eons ago

C C7

that we double-cross as we go along

F Dm

the infamous coin

it's only fools gold

C (fade out)

so why would I bargain?
