[Verso 1]
C Dm
Maybe I could be your superhero
C Bb
Set if off in the end
C Dm
Swinging from the edifice
C Bb
And landing in the palm of your hand
C Dm
Or maybe I could be some old forgotten trinket
C Bb
Put on a shelf
C Dm
Moving it from here and there
C Bb
Till pride's the only thing you got left
[Refrão]
C Dm
Delicate roots
C Bb
These are the lines in my room
C Dm
Collecting the dust

Come way too close and I'll shoot

I'll shoot, I'll shoot, I'll shoot

I'll shoot, I'll shoot, I'll shoot
Ooh
[Verso 2]
C Dm
Clean-cut like a razor blade
C Bb
You sting just like a sore in my mouth
C Dm
Body like a bottle
C Bb
Made no effort any way to stand out
C Dm
You say nobody's perfect
C Bb
But my filter wouldn't work in a drought
C Dm
Our levels of perception had me moving
C Bb
Even further down South
[Refrão]
C Dm
Delicate roots

These are the lines in my room
