( B5 / E5 / Bb5 / G5 / D5 / G5 )
Was that somebody screaming 

It wasn't me for sure

I lift my head up from uneasy pillows

Put my feet on the floor

Cut my wrist on a bad thought 

And head for the door
( B5 / E5 / Bb5 / G5 / D5 / G5 / B5 )
Outside on the pavement

The dark makes no noise

I can feel the sweat on my lips

Leaking into my mouth

I'm heading out for the steep hills

They're leaving me no choice
    E5 G5 D5       A5               C5 G5   D5 A5
And see...as our lives are in the making
    E5 G5 D5       A5               C5 G5   D5 A5
We believe through the lies and the hating
     A5         E5
That love goes free
( B5 / E5 / Bb5 / G5 )
For want of an option

I run the wind round

I dream pictures of houses burning

Never knowing nothing else to do
F5                    C5
With death comes the morning
G5
Unannounced and new
( B5 / E5 / Bb5 / G5 / D5 / G5 / B5 )
Was it too much to ask for

To pull a little weight

They forgive everything but greatness

These are scoundrel days

And I'm close to calling out their names

As pride hits my face
E5 G5 D5       A5               C5 G5   D5 A5
See...as our lives are in the making
     E5 G5 D5       A5               C5 G5   D5
We believe through their lies and the hating
     A5        G5 F5 C5 Eb5        G5 F5 C5 Eb5
That love goes free  through scoundrel days
G5 F5 C5 Eb5 G5 F5 C5 Eb5

( B5 / E5 / Bb5 / G5 / D5 / G5 / B5 )
I reach the edge of town

I've got blood in my hair

Their hands touch my body

From everywhere

But I know as I've made it

As I run into the air
E5 G5 D5       A5               C5 G5   D5 A5
And see...as our lives are in the making
     E5 G5 D5       A5               C5 G5   D5 A5
We believe through the lies and the hating
     A5        E5  G5 D5 A5 C5 G5 D5
That love goes free
        A5        G5
Through scoundrel days
