The Synth Part/Intro is played over the verse chords.


VERSE

G# A Bbm     F#         C#       Eb  
     Come on in, have a seat next to me.
 Bbm                            F      G# A 
You know we got... we got what you need.
Bbm         F#         C#       Eb
We may be liars, preaching to choirs,
 Bbm                           F       G# A
but we can... we can sell your dreams.


PRE-CHORUS

Bbm             F#            C#          Eb
You don't need sympathy, they got a pill for everything.
Bbm                                          F          G# A
Just take that dark cloud, wring it out to wash them down.


CHORUS

Bbm            F#        C#          G#
don't pray for us, we don't need no modern jesus,
Bbm           F#        C#          G#
to roll with us, the only rule we have is never
F#      Bbm     C#            F          G# A  
giving up, the only faith we have is faith in us.


VERSE 2
Bbm        F#        C#       Eb
We're the ones who started a fire,
Bbm                                  F                               G#  A
Yeah they burn out... but when they're on the rise I can't help but shine.


PRE-CHORUS

Bbm           F#             C#            Eb
And when the wave approaches take our bodies to the ocean
Bbm                                F                      
Who cares if hell awaits... we're having drinks at heavens gates.

REPEAT CHORUS


BRIDGE

Bbm             F#             C#           Eb
We know that we're helpless, at least we always assumed.
Bbm                        F              G# A
But we don't need to prove nothing to you.
Bbm            F#          C#          Eb
Let's keep it cool, you don't need to feel blue,
Bbm                            F
Cuz we won't sell you nothing you can't use.
