"Pour concrete on me delicately, baby
so I can live my sedimental life sedentarily," all life
"I could just sit here for hours and watch TV," worthlessly

 DBmGA
unless you live a little more like you're going to die
--------------------------------------------------------

Interlude II/Bridge (upbeat)

D, A x 1

 D
 so what the fuck are you going to do?
they robbed your life from you
A (pause)
tell them you want to get it back
 A
if you do, I've got your back
 D
 yes it's something worth defending
so throw caution to the wind
A(pause)
and other platitudes
 A
that were written just for you
 D
 take a shit in their swimming pool
let them chase you if you do
 A
 finally something is happening to you
 D
 put an axe through the TV
blow up your radio,
 A
 though you can't see them now
you'll hear birds singing in your soul
 D
 sneak your way past the gates in a hard heart shape
 A
 if you're gonna be a shark you better learn to stay awake
---------------------------------------------------------
