C                       Cmaj7
Bad boys and painkillers
C                           Cmaj7
Together like peas in a pod
                 F
Look at me just sticking around
                                    G
The oxygen draining through my blood
C                         Cmaj7
Body crunched up and tight
C                            Cmaj7
Pounding and kicking me blind
           F
Failing my body design

Digging trenches, looking for mines

Dm   Am   G
(Bad boys and)

Looking for a new way out
C    G   Am
(Painkillers)

Swollen hands looking for love
Dm   Am   G
(Bad boys and)

Safe from harm is all I ask
 C   G  Am
(Painkillers)

C                       Cmaj7
Bad boys and painkillers
C                            Cmaj7
Drags me down so I'm miserable
                   F
Buy some time, I'm coming unstuck
                                      G
Leave me here, I'll crawl my way back
C                              Cmaj7
Cold as statues with such grace
C                               Cmaj7
My head imprinted with your face
F
I long for longing in this place

It's no so hard with some patience

Dm   Am   G
(Bad boys and)

Shaking like there's no way out
C    G  Am
(Painkillers)

Swollen hands looking for love
Dm   Am   G
(Bad boys and)

Safe from harm is all I ask
C    G  Am
(Painkillers)

F
Never complain or explain
      F
Never felt lucky or shame
       F
Micro climates and acid baths
        G
Epic human achievement at last

Dm   Am   G
(Bad boys and)

Still shaking, still shaking,
C    G  Am
(Painkillers)

Swollen hands looking for love
Dm   Am   G
(Bad boys and)

Safe from harm is all I ask
C    G  Am
(Painkillers)
