Verse 1
F# B
When I was younger, I wish that I would have known better.
F#
Better love makes a fat romance, that lasts for more than a shoe shine.
B
I’m older, took all the words of my mother, saying,
It could be worse, could be born with that disease, instead of catching it first.
Ebm C#5 B5
So let’s go back, to the first time, that I met you, in your Chevy, with your hands stretched,
and me
C#5
crying, screaming, “Mercy. Mercy.”
Ebm C#5 B5
But I know that, I was put here, to fight Vikings, in the cold war, with my arms out,
in the front
C#5
lines, singing, “Dare me. Dare me.”
[Chorus]
B
But these things take time love.
F#
These things take backbone.
Ebm C#5
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear ’cause they think it’s better. Better.
B F#
But you better know how to point out the liars.
Ebm C#5
You’ve got to weigh your wars make sure you’re not fighting for nothing. Nothing.
B5
Are you fighting for nothing?
Verse 2
F# B
It feels like this world has been growing slowly upside down.
Maybe I should move to China, and straighten this mess out.
F#
Maybe I’ll be a poet.
B
Watch all the sky for falling words.
And write about my grandma’s curtains, or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse.
Ebm C#5
I’ve got my mouth. It’s a weapon. It’s a bombshell.
B5
It’s a cannon. I’ve got my words.
C#5
I won’t give them mercy. Mercy.
[Chorus]
Solo:
Ebm C#5 B5 C#5 (x2)
Bridge
Ebm C#5
I’ve got my words. I hope they hurt you.
B5
I hope they scar you. I hope they heal you.
Ebm C#5
I hope they cut you open, make you see you’ve been warring for all the wrong reasons.
B5
Make you see that some things are worth bruising for.
C#5
Make you see that your name is your honor code.
Ebm
Make you see that your hands you’re accounted for.
C#5
Pick and choose where your sweat and your blood will go.
B5
Make you see your life’s not to be lived alone.
C#5
Run their spit through your hair, you’re worth nothing. Nothing.
[chorus]
