DmIf (xx0231@1)you're keeping score then you're bound to win,
  Bb (x1333x@1)               Bbsus2A (x13311@1)birds eye view of a burning bridge,
       DmYou've (xx0231@1)gone through ghost towns set on pause,
  Bb (x1333x@1)              Bbsus2Hoping (x13311@1)the risk was worth a cause,

DmOh, (xx0231@1)sound off the false alarm,
Bb (x1333x@1) AOh, (x02220@1)Oh

Dm (xx0231@1)       Em (022000@1)           Bb (x1333x@1)          GmBut (355333@1)I'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory,
    F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)         DmAnd (xx0231@1)reap the rewards of proximity,
       Dm (xx0231@1)      Em (022000@1)             Bb (x1333x@1)        GmI'll (355333@1)assemble my equal from what I lack and require,
    F (133211@1)           C (x32010@1)     DmAnd (xx0231@1)gather what's left unaccompanied,

Gm (355333@1)                DmIt (xx0231@1)smells like disaster,
F (133211@1)             DmIt (xx0231@1)looks like a trap,
Gm (355333@1)          DmSo (xx0231@1)go by the wayside,
Eb (x43121@3)             AAnd (x02220@1)never look back,

DmIf (xx0231@1)you could spare me forty winks,
      Bb (x1333x@1)             Bbsus2While (x13311@1)you cry wolf and I count sheep,
     DmWhat (xx0231@1)good old ghosts in Kevlar vests,
     Bb (x1333x@1)            Bbsus2With (x13311@1)backbones like a jellyfish,

DmOh, (xx0231@1)stomp on your land again,
Bb (x1333x@1) AOh, (x02220@1)Oh

  Bb (x1333x@1)              Bbsus2A (x13311@1)ring side seat at the main event,

DmOh, (xx0231@1)stomp on your land again,
