TUNING half step down
Intro: F
[Verso 1]
Am
I see you watching
I see your old rusty hands
F C/E
I see you drawing your lines through the things they do
Am
The talk and the walk and the teeth and the spaces in between
F
Yeah, I know how to steal 'cause I learned from you
[Refrão]
C
You are the rot, you are the underline
G
You are the fault beneath the plan
Am F
And all you've ever built is with the coldest hands
C
And I was the fix, I was the anchor
G
I was the card up your sleeve
Am F
And all I ever did was wait and say please
Am/F Am
[Verso 2]
Am
The moon, and the sky, and the blood, and the bones
F
And the rocks, and the shadows on the walls
Am
They're riddled with the faces, names
F
And waste of our collective thoughts
[Refrão]
C
When we were young we shaped the world
G
Like it was clay beneath our hands
Am F
And as far as we were concerned it was ours to damn
C
And now we're older, not quite so bold
G
And we've got the coldest hands
And we mess things up
Am F
So do us all a favor and come wreck our plans
Am
Before we smash you against the walls
Am F Am
