[Verse]
A5 E G# F#
Born in the spring, I’ve always needed
A5 E G#
Something to feel new
F# A5 E G#
And come to think of it now, so did you
F# A5 E G#
Maybe that explains this fascination with death
F#
Or a lack of ammunition
[Chorus]
E5 A5 B5 F#5
“It wasn’t me”, I heard you say
E5 A5 B5 F#5
“The cross protects you from the shame”
E5 A5 B5 A5 B5 A5
That comes along with living in the kind of world
B5 F#5 E5 A5 E G#
Where boys can only kiss the girls
A5 E G#
[Verse]
A5 E G# F#
Excuse me, sir, do you have a light?
A5 E G#
I know that I can be dark
F# A5 E G#
But that’s what makes us brighter than the rest
F# A5 E G#
Who’d think a weight like this could make you feel blessed?
F#
Or a lack of seratonin
[Chorus]
E5 A5
That shakes your brain
B5 F#5 E5 A5
Till nothing’s left to rearrange
B5 F#5 E5 A5
Folks start looking at you strange
B5 F#5 E5 A5
Stoned by noon you fade away
B5 A5 B5 A5
Into the place that doesn’t feel
B5 F#5 E5 A5 E G# F#5
Nothing to hide, nothing to steal
[Bridge]
A5 E G# F#5 x2 F#
[Verse]
A5 E G# F#5
Not bittersweet, the taste of living
A5 E G#
An impossible dream
F#5 A5 E G#
But we both know your future wasn’t with me
F#
Long before your body betrayed you
[Chorus]
E5 A5 B5 F#5 E5 A5
Royalty, through the streamers and the beams
B5 F#5 E5 A5
They tied you up and called you queen
B5 F#5 E5 A5
Passed out in a bathroom stall
B5 F#5 E5 A5
You still looked better than them all
B5 A5 B5 A5
I kissed your head and walked away
B5 F#5 E5 A5
Watched the castle dance in flames
B5 A5 B5 A5
I kissed your head and walked away
B5 F#5 E5 A5
Watched the castle dance in flames
