The Long Winters - "Scared Straight"
Ebm7 C#
Washington’s on the one
Bbm
I’m in the middle of speaking
Ab
And you’re under the gun
Ebm7 C#
Seething, leave it to the lone nut
Ebm7 C#
It’s unappealing in someone so young
Ebm7 C#
Plaintiff, you’re feeling so washed up
Bbm Ab
And you mean it when you say you’re done
Ebm7
Five lanes of freeway
C#
But it’s all gone dark
Ebm7 C#
You called to say you’re gonna run
C# F#
Well, Can you wait?
C# F#
Can you stand it?
C# F#
Are you brave or are you
C# F#
scared straight,
C# F#
scared straight?
She didn’t want you to:
Ebm7 C#
Speak right,
Bbm Ab
be strong,
Ebm7 C#
act nice,
Ebm7 C#
take so long
She didn’t want you to:
Ebm7 C#
Call time,
Bbm Ab
seem tired,
Ebm7 C#
leave mad,
Ebm7 C#
get so wired
C# F#
Well, Can you wait?
C# F#
Can you stand it?
C# F#
Are you brave or are you
C# F#
scared straight,
C# F#
scared straight?
C#
Maybe you belong to someone
F#
Maybe you have finally met them
C#
Maybe smoke belongs in the sky
F#
Maybe I hate it when you cry
C# F#
Well, Can you wait?
C# F#
Can you stand it?
C# F#
Are you brave or are you
C# F#
scared straight,
C# F#
scared straight?
Ebm7 C#
You were hurt so you got hard
Bbm Ab
You were cursed and scolded and scarred
Ebm7 C#
You were searched for, then ignored
Ebm7
You want to burn the liars
C#
You’ll set us both on fire
Ebm7 C#
You’re faking, so I’m pretend sleeping
Bbm Ab
Waiting for this to be fun
Ebm7 C#
It’s true little miss mean mini-bar guard
Ebm7 C#
We’re gonna have to try something new
Ebm7 C#
Let me breathe
Ebm7 C#
Let me breathe
Ebm7 C#
Let me breathe
Ebm7 C# Bbm Ab
Let me breathe fire down on you
Ebm7 C#
Let me breathe fire down on you
