[Verse 1]
                                   D
Some birds just sit useless, like fists
                           Am            G
I wrestle on TV but no one ever lets me win

I lean on the wall like a broom
    D
Confused by the scope it all
     Am                 G
Any fool can tell the truth


[Pre-Chorus 1]
    Am7  A7       D
And no, I don't think I should
    Am  Am7    A7
Add one to the sum
   D
Of all that you fear


[Chorus]
G D Em                C
I’d love to take you down
G    A          G
And leave you there


[Verse 2]

In my window, I have a twin
                     D
I look out, he looks in

He has a point, I applaud
    Am           G
My goodness, my god

Is it my fault the countrysides
                D
Are so full of suicide?

I break bricks with my heart
        Dm                G
Only a fool would call it art


[Pre-Chorus 2]
     A     A7     D            D7
And no, I don't think that I should
   A7
Be one of the sum
D
Of all that you fear


[Chorus]
G D Em                C
I’d love to take you down
G    A          G
And leave you there
  D  Em               C
I’d love to take you down
G    A7         G
And leave you there

[Solo]
D G Am G


[Verse 3]

So why fuss, why not bend
                      D
Like a nail, hammered in?

Oh, times are tough
                          Am
If I recall, oh, it ain't easy
        G
No, not all


[Pre-Chorus 3]
     A7           D
And no, I don't think I should
     Am7      A7
Complete the sum
   D
Of all that you fear


[Chorus]
G D Em                C
I’d love to take you down
G    A          G
And leave you there


[Outro]
  D  Em
I'd love to take you down
 C   Em   A7 A       G
Down and leave you there
