Verse 1:
A                                      C#m
We stumble and stare at the carnival lights
D                       F#5
That lit up New York City,
D                      A
From the rooftop in Brooklyn
  E                         A
That was covered in bad graffiti.
                      C#m
And then I let a thousand splinters
D                               F#5
Pierce right through my spoiled liver,
D                          A
Whatever that was left of it.

Verse 2:
A                         C#m
'Cuz I cursed my lonely memory
D                       F#5
With picture-perfect imagery.
                D
Maybe I'm not dying
A                           E
I'm just living in decaying cities,
A                            C#m
But I'm still healthy, I'm still fine,
D                 F#5- D                A          E
I'll be spending all my time readin' the obituaries.

Chorus:

But I will fuck this up,

I fucking know it.

I will fuck this up,

I fucking know it.

Bridge:
D             A           E             F#5
Cause I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
D             A           E           F#5
I felt the false azure from windowpanes
D             A          E         F#5
I am just freaking out, yeah I'll be fine.

Chorus:
A
But I will fuck this up,

I fucking know it.

I will fuck this up,

I fucking know it.
