HIT THE LIGHTS
Back Breaker
--------------------
VERSE
DI've been carving down the days on my bedroom door
Teeth are all but gone
GTaking a beating, from grinding when I'm sleeping
DI've busted out the boards on my window sill
Nails tried keep me Ghere I'm dying
But nothing can stop me from tryingBm  
To crawl my way out thAis grave
GBefore I decay
I will mAake a clean break
CHORUS
DAnd burn it down, I'll burn this town behind meG  
And run until I can't breathe
DI'm breaking out
I'll bury all my mistGakes
And rebuild until my back breaks
VERSE
DConsider them convinced I'm a lunatic
Eyes are wide and crazedG  
I feel it happen, oh they can have it
DSend a stack of bricks through the neighbors house
Watch them as they spill intGo the yard
They don't know how lucky they areBm  
They swiped the vultureAs aside
GI swear they're alive, boy juAst look in their eyes
CHORUS (same)
MIDDLE 8
BmOn my gravestone for all Gto see, it reads
A"I took this city out
At the knees at least"
BmOn your gravestone
GCovered in leaves they'll read nothing moAre than
"Rest In, Rest In Peace"
DNothing more than...nothing more than
GNothing more than...nothing more than
CHORUS

HIT THE LIGHTS

Back Breaker

--------------------

VERSE

I've been carving down the days on my bedroom door

Teeth are all but gone

Taking a beating, from grinding when I'm sleeping

I've busted out the boards on my window sill

Nails tried keep me here I'm dying

But nothing can stop me from trying

To crawl my way out this grave

Before I decay

I will make a clean break

CHORUS

D G

And burn it down, I'll burn this town behind me

And run until I can't breathe

I'm breaking out

I'll bury all my mistakes

And rebuild until my back breaks

VERSE

Consider them convinced I'm a lunatic

Eyes are wide and crazed

I feel it happen, oh they can have it

Send a stack of bricks through the neighbors house

Watch them as they spill into the yard

They don't know how lucky they are

They swiped the vultures aside

G A

I swear they're alive, boy just look in their eyes

CHORUS (same)

MIDDLE 8

Bm G

On my gravestone for all to see, it reads

"I took this city out

At the knees at least"

On your gravestone

G A

Covered in leaves they'll read nothing more than

"Rest In, Rest In Peace"

Nothing more than...nothing more than

CHORUS
