[Verse 1]
B                         Bsus4 Bsus2 B
We're rotten fruit, we're damaged goods
B                                B7
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
B                               A    E
One gust and we will probably crumble
      B
We're backdrifters...
[Verse 2]
B               Bsus4 Bsus2 B
This far but no further
    B       B7
I'm hanging off a branch
    B                         A               E
I'm teetering on the brink of honey sweet, so full of sleep
    B
I'm backsliding...
[Chorus 1]
B                 D
You fell into our arms
B                 D
You fell into our arms
   B                   D                A   C
We tried but there was nothing we could do
        B
Nothing we could do
[Verse 3]
B                     Bsus4 Bsus2 B
All evidence has been buried
    B               B7
All tapes have been erased
B                             A     C
But your footsteps give you awaaaaaay
          B
So you're backtracking..........ah ah ah ah!
[Chorus 2]
B                 D
You fell into our arms
B                 D
You fell into our arms
   B                   D                A   C
We tried but there was nothing we could do
        B
Nothing we could do
B             D                  B
You fell into our, you fell into a...

We're rotten fruit, we're damaged goods
