Gm F Bb Eb   x2


Gm                        F
If I repeat myself I apologize but 
                            Bb
I've been caught too many times I’m 
                          Eb
Running out of places to hide 

                 Gm
Some call me a traitor 
                  F
I’m not here to save you 
                    Bb             
I think I’ll just stay here , if no-one’s home I’ll 
Eb                                    Gm
Crash behind the couch with weapons drawn 
              F
Taped up and over 
            Bb
Security cameras 
             Eb
Hand in the till like 
           Gm
Little rebellions 
                   F
In darkness I’m crouching 
                      Bb
On paths that I’ve scouted 
             Eb
“Sadie’s laughing” 
             Gm
My quarry approaches 
              F
“I’ll make a pact with you” 
           Bb
Leave us behind 
        Eb
Harry Roberts 
        Gm
Tommy Ryan 
               F
Brandish the moment 
             Bb
Hide in the open 
             Eb
Keeping on focus
                      Em         Cm
And fight like its hopeless 
Em                    Cm
Attempt to finish Christobel 
       Em         Cm  
Oh fragments! 


Dm

Gm F Bb Eb  x2


Gm
Meekly pleading for forgiveness and 
F
Stacking wishes like dirty dishes 
Bb
“What care we how white the minch is” 
Eb
Faces bruised and hands in stitches 
Gm                           F
  I went and gave it all I had 
                                Bb
But not enough to bite the hand 
                            Eb
Still say i’m doing what I can 
Gm
Out on my own 
    F
Some call it a breakdown 
Bb
On the run from the ones 
Eb
Running the show 
Gm
Overly concerned 
         F
For the grouchy and bored 
Bb
Cant ignore our scars 
          Eb
Monsters made not born 


Bb Dm Gm Cm  x2


Gm
Not to say the prayer 
F
Not to cast the vote 
Bb
Its not enough 
Eb
To free my throat 
Gm
Well the secret is GO 
F
Get up and just go 
Bb
Crawl out of your hole 
Eb
We can still get through this smoke
