[Intro]
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
[Verse 1]
D Gmaj7
There's a light that just won't go out
D Gmaj7
no matter what they try to do
D Gmaj7
'Cause you can't pull out the circuits,
D Gmaj7
remove the bulb or blow the fuse
A Gmaj7
And it just might be the brightest star
D Gmaj7
discovered yet by man
A Gmaj7
But it might as well be a pin hole
D
from where we stand
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
[Verse 2]
D
There are times when I thought
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
it'd be easy to ignore
D
But it just takes one look
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
and I don't believe my theory anymore
A Gmaj7
I won't get upset, I won't fight it,
D Gmaj7
I'd have no escape in mind
A Gmaj7
But the distant roar of the highway
D
just won't subside
[Chorus 1]
Bm A Em7
So don't leave soon,
Bm A E7 Em7
don't leave this room
Bm A E7
We'll be on top of the moon,
Emaj7
but 'til then
A D Gmaj7
It's a bloodbath
A D Gmaj7
It's a bloodbath
A D Gmaj7
It's a bloodbath
D
and it's getting worse
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
[Verse 3]
D
In a crowded room
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
there are people planning our time -
D Gmaj7
and the next time I know when I see them
D Gmaj7
they will be older and we'll be fine
A Gmaj7
You can count up all of your friends
D Gmaj7
who still really know you on just one hand
A Gmaj7
And the others they’ll come around soon,
D
they'll understand
[Chorus 2]
Bm A Em7
So don't feel bad,
Bm A E7 Em7
don't look so sad
Bm A E7
We're much more than that
Emaj7
but for now
A D Gmaj7
It's a deathtrap
A D Gmaj7
It's a deathtrap
A D Gmaj7
It's a deathtrap
A D Gmaj7
It's a bloodbath
[outro]
A D Gmaj7
and it's gonna get worse
A D Gmaj7
A D Gmaj7
A D Gmaj7
D Gmaj7
And it's gonna get worse
D Gmaj7
D Gmaj7
It's gonna get worse
D D
Before it gets better
