Tom: Am
Am Em7
Ooooooo- oo- ooooo
Am Em7
Ooooooo- oo- ooooo
[Verse 1]
Am C Dm Am Em7
Bite my tongue, play it straight, we’re so young but we’re too pretty to wait
Am C
Girls all think they’re something, playin’ by the rules
Dm C Em7
But I’m your partner in crime, I’m your suffering fool
[Chorus]
G Em7 C
You got lucky I got lost, I’m a child, you’re the boss
G Em7 G Am
I’m just waiting for the lightning to strike me down
Am C G
You’ve been preaching to the choir, there’s no burden without fire
F Am
Strike me down, strike me down
Am Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
Am Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
[Verse 2]
Am C Dm Am Em7
People talk. Talk talk talk. Words sound good, as they bypass the thought.
Am C
Silent strings, the trial adjourns,
Dm C Em7
but the warmth of the fire, it gets the sting of the burn
[Chorus]
G Em7 C
You got lucky I got lost, I’m a child, you’re the boss
G Em7 G Am
I’m just waiting for the lightning to strike me down
Am C G
You’ve been preaching to the choir, there’s no burden without fire
F Am
Strike me down, strike me down
Am
Strike me down,
Am
Strike me down
Am Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
Am Em7
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
Am
Ooooooo- oo-oo-ooo
