[Intro]
C F Am G x2
[Verse 1]
C F
Two birds, one stone
Am G
One shot, I've thrown
C F
Both these wrongs don't make us right
Am
And so it goes, I suppose
G
We've sunk to this low tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
They say the truth will set you free
Am G
Maybe, possibly
[Chorus]
C F
But not before it rips your chest out
Am G
And not before it puts your back against the wall
C F
There's a painful coalition
Am G
A cardiac collision involved
C
That's how it sets you free
[Verse 2]
C F
Two eyes shut tight
Am G
Two hands to block the light
C F
Otherwise we just might see
Am G
And you and me will be forcibly set free
C F
They say the truth will bring you to your knees
Am G
That it might make me a better me
[Chorus]
C F
But not before it rips your chest out
Am G
And not before it puts your back against the wall
C F
There's a painful coalition
Am
A cardiac collision involved
G
That's how it sets you free
[Bridge]
C F
But first it's gonna set fire to your house
Am G
It takes what you've been trusting
C
And breaks it down to nothing at all
[Verse 3]
C F
Say hello to honest weather
Am
Say goodbye to make-believe
G
We've been saved from our pretenses
C
By the skin of missing teeth
F
Eyes wide open here together
Am
Maybe you and me could be
C F G
Uncomfortably, reluctantly, inconveniently released
[Verse 4]
C F
One bird, two wings
Am G
One you, one me
C F
I don't know what I don't know
Am G
But all I know is I've got no stones left to throw
C F Am G
What's the point of living comfortably if what doesn't kill you sets you free
That's how it sets you free
[Chorus]
C F
But not before it rips your chest out
Am G
And not before it puts your back against the wall
C F
There's a painful coalition
Am
A cardiac collision involved
G
That's how it sets you free
[Bridge]
C F
But first it's gonna set fire to your house
Am G
It takes what you've been trusting
C
And breaks it down to nothing at all
[Outro]
F C
That's how it sets you free
F C
Oh, thats how it sets you free
F C
Oh, thats how it sets you free
