Cm
And sleep Just sleep
Fm                     Ab           C PAUSE
The hardest part is letting go of your dreams

DO VERSE CHORDS
A drink for the horror that I’m in
For the good guys and the bad guys
For the monsters that I’ve been
Three cheers for tyranny
Unapologetic apathy
‘Cos there ain’t no way that I’m coming back again

DO REFRAIN CHORDS-
And through it all.
How could you cry
For me
‘Cos I don’t feel bad about it
So shut your eyes
Kiss me goodbye
And sleep
Just sleep
The hardest part is the awful things that I’ve seen

OUTRO C-Fm-G

Hear me out

Am                                 G
And if the world needs something better
D                                F
Let’s give them one more reason now, now, now
C        D        Em
We walk in single file
C              D                 Em
We light up rails and punch our time
C               D              G
Ride escalators colder than a cell

CHORUS;
F           Em     Am      G
This broken city sky, like butane on my skin
F      Em      Am       C
And stolen from my eyes
F      Em      Am      G
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
F      Em      Am           C
Tell me where we go from here

This broken city sky, like butane on my skin
F      Em      Am       C
And stolen from my eyes
F      Em      Am      G
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
F      Em      Am           C
Tell me where we go from here

VERSE : SAME CHORDS

And in this moment we can’t close the lids on burning eyes
Our memories blanket us with friends we know, like fallout vapor
Steel corpses stretch out towards and ending sun, scorched and black
It reaches in and tears your flesh apart
As ice cold hands rip into your heart
That’s if you’ve still got one that’s left
Inside that cave you call a chest (cave you call a chest)
And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence
And if the world needs something better
Let’s give them one more reason now

CHORUS;
F           Em     Am      G
This broken city sky, like butane on my skin
F      Em      Am       C
And stolen from my eyes
F      Em      Am      G
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
F      Em      Am           C
Tell me where we go from here
F           Em     Am      G
This broken city sky, like butane on my skin
F      Em      Am       C
And stolen from my eyes
F      Em      Am      G
Hello Angel, tell me where are you
F      Em      Am           C
Tell me where we go from here
F      Em      Am           C
Tell me where we go from here

C#
Well it rains and it pours
When you’re out on your own

A
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?

F#
‘Cause I’ve spent the night dancing
I’m drunk, I suppose

G#
If it looks like I’m laughing
I’m really just asking to leave
C#
This alone, you’re in time for the show

A
You’re the one that I need
I’m the one that you loathe

F#
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose

G#
‘Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band

C#           D#           G#           C#
I’ve really been on a bender and it shows

C#            D#             G#                C#
So why don’t you blow me a kiss before she goes?

C#
Give me a shot to remember

A
And you can take all the pain away from me

F#
A kiss and I will surrender

G#
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

C#
A light to burn all the empires

A
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be

F#
In love with all of these vampires

G#
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

(Same as the first verse)
There’s a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I’ve really been on a bender and it shows
So why don’t you blow me a kiss before she goes?

(Same as first chorus)
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
[x2]

Verse 1:
C#                      C
We could be perfect one last night
A                     C             C#
And die like star-crossed lovers when we fight
C
And we can settle this affair
A                 C
If you would shed your yellow take my hand
C#                   C          A          C
And then we’ll solve the mystery of laceration gravity
C#           C             A            C
This riddle of revenge please understand it has to be this way

Chorus:

Stand up fucking tall
G#   A        F#
Don’t let them see your back
C# G# A F#       C#
Take my fucking hand

and never be afraid again

Verse 2:
C#C        A                 C
We’ve only got one chance to put this at an end
C#C           A               C
and cross the patron saint of switchblade fights
C#              C              A                    C
You said we’re not celebrities, we spark and fade, they die by threes
C#            C                 A               C
I’ll make you understand and you can trade me for an apparition

Chorus:
C# G# A F#       C#
Stand up fucking tall

Don’t let them see your back
C# G# A F#       C#
Take my fucking hand

Bridge,solo:
Trust, you said
Who put the words in your head
Oh how wrong we were to think
That immortality meant never dying
Stand
Take my fucking hand
Take my fucking…

Chorus:
C# G# A F#       C#
Stand up fucking tall

and never be afraid again
C#   G# A    F# C#    G# A   F#   C#

D
Well if you wanted honesty, that’s all you had to say.
Bm
I never want to let you down or have you go, it’s better off this way.
Em
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
A
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

D
I’m not okay.
Bm
I’m not okay.
Em
I’m not okay.
A
You wear me out.

What will it take to show you that it’s not the life it seems?
(I’m not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don’t know what they mean
(I’m not okay)
So be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!

I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
You wear me out.

Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took?
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed

I’m okay.
I’m okay!
I’m okay, now
(I’m okay, now)

But you really need to listen to me
Because I’m telling you the truth
I mean this, I’m okay!
(Trust Me)

I’m not okay
I’m not okay
Well, I’m not okay
I’m not o-fucking-kay
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
(Okay)

Bm
Stay out of the light
A
Or the photoghraph that I gave you
G
You can say a prayer if you need to
F#
Or just get in line and I’ll grieve you
Bm
Can I meet you alone
A
Another night and I’ll see you
G
Another night and I’ll be you
F#
Some other way to continue
F# (STRUM 3X)
To hide my face

Pre chorus

Bm                   A
Another knife in my hands
G
A stain that never comes off the sheets
F#
Clean me off
Bm
I’m so dirty babe

Bm                        A                    G
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
F#
I keep a book of the names and those

Chorus

G     F#
Only go so far
Bm A  G
Till you bury them
Em       F#
So deep and down we go

Bm
Touched by angels though
A
I fall out of grace
G
I did it all so maybe
F#
I’d live this everyday

Repat pre chorus

Bm
It ain’t the money
A                              G
And it sure as hell ain’t just for the fame

It’s for the bodies I claimed and those

We got innocence for days

You better run like the devil,
Cause they’re never gonna leave you alone

You better hide ‘em in the alley

We’re bad motherfuckers
Tell your sister I’m another
GO!GO!GO!
