G          F#                      G          
Between a broken nose and a fake smile 
Between piety and gunpowder 
Between fighting and fleeing the scene 
Between murder and diplomacy 

G          F#              G
Between aggression and oblivion 
Between brutal and realistically well behaved 
Between screaming and pulling in the reins 
Esus4                     E
Between tiptoeing and ambleing 

Bm         F#                    Bm F#
What am I to do with all this fire 
(I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you) 
Bm                  F#                Bm   F#
Would you stay with me in this red space
(I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you) 

Chorus 
E
Between violence and silently seething 
E
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower 
E
Between "fuck you" to your face and it's alright 
E
Between war and denial 

[chorus] 

Between flying vases and secretly weeping 
Between loose cannons and ever downplaying 
Between bruises and rudely differing 
Between bursting and boiling 

What am I to do with all this burning 
(I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you) 
Do I overwhelm you in this place 
(I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you) 

[chorus] 

What am I to do with all this fire 
Can you understand me in this place?
