G5 The record keeps skipping through dirty windscreens A5 C5 And it's one never ending cliche highway scene G5 F5 E5 and the visit's too short and the journeys too long C5 D5 It feels like we're trapped in some damn burnouts song C5 But no tool belts or steel caps just drums and guitars D5 And we don't work in mines we just sing songs in bars Chorus: C5 D5 It's a broken down dream but we call it a life G5 F5 E5 Like a circus performer who swallows the knife C5 Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood D5 It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough G5 I'd give the devil my soul for a good show tonight A5 C5 Just a glimpse just a sign I'm not wasting my life G5 F5 E5 Give me hellfire eternal when I'm done with this earth C5 D5 And Satan one more thing please let them buy merch C5 Cause the van is sure thirsty we've got a long way to drive D5 And we better get going or we won't make it on time Chorus: C5 D5 It's a broken down dream but we call it a life G5 F5 E5 Like a circus performer who swallows the knife C5 Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood D5 It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough C5 D5 x4 A5 And the stranded bored and stagnant they point to their chains C5 And in hushed tortured voices ask how dare we complain A5 They think the damnationon it comes standing still C5 But we know all too well it's this distance that kills A5 All the flowers and crosses that haunt these roadsides C5 D5 And we swear sometimes it's like swallowing knives Chorus: C5 D5 It's a broken down dream but we call it a life G5 F5 E5 Like a circus performer who swallows the knife C5 Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood D5 It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
