If you're keeping score then you're bound to win,
  Bb5                 Bb5
A birds eye view of a burning bridge,
       D5
You've gone through ghost towns set on pause,
  Bb5                Bb5
Hoping the risk was worth a cause,

D5
Oh, sound off the false alarm ,
Bb5   A5
Oh, Oh

          D5         E5             Bb5            G5
But I'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory,
    F5           C5           D5
And reap the rewards of proximity,
       D5        E5               Bb5          G5
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require,
    F5             C5       D5
And gather what's left unaccompanied,

G5                  D5
It smells like disaster,
F5               D5
It looks like a trap,
G5            D5
So go by the wayside,
Eb5               A5
And never look back,

   D5
If you could spare me forty winks,
      Bb5               Bb5
While you cry wolf and I count sheep,
     D5
What good old ghosts in Kevlar vests,
     Bb5              Bb5
With backbones like a jellyfish,

D5
Oh, stomp on your land again,
Bb5   A5
Oh, Oh

          D5         E5             Bb5            G5
But I'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory,
    F5           C5           D5
And reap the rewards of proximity,
       D5        E5               Bb5          G5
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require,
    F5             C5        D5
And gather what's left unaccompanied,

G5                D5
It smells like disaster,
F5                D5
It looks like a trap,
G5           D5
So go by the wayside,
Eb5               A5
And never look back,

          D5
If you're keeping score then you're bound to win,
  Bb5                Bb5
A ring side seat at the main event,

D5
Oh, stomp on your land again,
Bb5   A5
Oh, Oh

G5                D5
It smells like disaster,
F5               D5
It looks like a trap,
G5           D5
So go by the wayside,
F5              D5
And never look back.

G5                D5
It smells like disaster,
F5               D5 
Thank God I can smell,
G5           D5
So go by the wayside,
Eb5             A5        D5
And never look back.
