Tom: Bbm
Bbm Db Eb Bbm Ab Eb Bbm Db Eb Bbm Ab Eb
[Verse 1]
Bbm Db
In the backwards of the world
Eb
In the wings unfurled twirl
Bbm Ab Eb
In the upside down frown of the dark
Bbm Db
On the tippy toe tin rooftops
Eb
In the vodka drama thrift shops
Bbm Ab
It’s where we’ll make our mark
[Verse 2]
Bbm
It starts off like a pin prick
Eb
A trick of the light oil slick
Ab Eb
Then grows to the size of your hand
Bbm Db
Turns you outside in
Eb
Cigar burns and scar skin
Bbm Ab Eb
Ripping bone and nail and gland
[Pre-chorus]
Fm Bbm
But your blood does not bleed red no more
Gb
It’s whiter than the sun burns
Bright with every hum, ah
Fm Bbm
From within this gaping wound of ours
Gb
A new us has begun
A new us has begun
A new us has begun (new us has be, new us has be, new us has)
N.C.
Can’t we just talk about this
Bbm
Tomorrow
[Chorus]
Db Ab
Oh light me a New York torch my boys
Bbm Db Ab
Ooh oh light me a New York torch my boys
Bbm Db
Ooh oh watch the fire surprise surprise
Ab
Burn up and up into those skies
Bbm Db Ab Bbm Db Eb
Ooh oh light me a New York torch my boys
[Verse 3]
Bbm
Tear me up and burn me up
Eb
And rip me up and leave your
Ab Eb
Hand on the wall as you go
Bbm
Blood’s pouring like martini
Eb
Graffiti sweet bikini
Ab Eb
Is that what you think of me now, no no no no
[Verse 4]
Bb
Are you god or devil, ghost disheveled
Db
Childhood friend or drunken revel
Eb
I cannot stop I’m bleeding out for you
Bb
You angel heart you monster oh
Ab
Some godforsaken Prospero
Eb
Your feathers and your paws
Your hell for leather applause
[Verse 5]
Bbm
You dance on tables, endless labels
Db
Are you Cain ‘cause I’m not Abel
Eb
Your bastard lasting nightbus asking
What’s the everlasting fable
Bbm Db Eb Ab
I cannot find (cannot find) the words to keep you
Bbm Db Eb Ab
I cannot find the words to keep you
[Pre-chorus]
Fm Bbm
But your blood does not bleed red no more
Gb
It’s brighter than the sun burns
It’s whiter with every hum
Fm Bbm
From within this gaping wound of ours
Gb
A new us has begun
A new us has begun
A new us has begun (new us has be, new us has be, new us has begun)
