[Verso 1]
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
Well, do you kill what you eat?
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
Gutting the fish for the family
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
The cost of living with yourself is enough
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
It's never letting up
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
How do you sleep in your clothes?
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
Dirt on the lawn, are you hungry?

A rotten apple hasn't always been that
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
I want my body back
[Refrão]

And do you always kiss the ground
D F#m7 G6 G6
When somebody lets you down?

Fighting like an insect

That nobody wants around

Shovel the ice when you need to

I broke a knuckle, but it's not the same at all
D Dmaj7 G6 G6
At least I broke the fall
[Refrão]

But if you go down swinging, I won't
D F#m7 G6 G6
Sick in the ground and blood in your nose

If I can handle breathing smoke

With the sound of a bottle being thrown
[Ponte]

If you want it now, just take it then
Bm7 Dsus2
Said you have to be kidding
G6 G6
You were laughing then
Em7 F#m7 G6 G6
The air is on, the cat got out
Bm7 Dsus2
Something else is missing,
G6 G6
I'm an outlaw now
Em7 F#m7 G6 G6
I'm speeding out, the air is cold
Bm7 Dsus2 G6 G6
I'm breaking things, I swear I've never felt so old
Em7 F#m7 G6 G6
If I say it's not really all that much
Bm7 Dsus2 G6 G6
I'm cutting out the heart of the fish I caught
Outro
Em7 F#m7 G6 G6
On the lake I made, on that very place
Bm7 Dsus2 G6 G6
I could've broken through the ice that day
Em7 F#m7 G6 G6
But I'll never know 'cause I ran away
Bm7 Dsus2 G6 G6
And left you there to take my
G6 G6 G6 G6 G6 G6
place
{Instrumental}
