BB
 I still cheer for you
          G+G
 Ten years down the line

 Time
D MajorD
 Stepped away from me
BB
 Stained with tiger stripes
D MajorD
 Losing all your lives
G+G   A augmentedA
 Stray from this boring dream

BB
 What must it be like

 With your world alight
G+G
 Hard to swallow
   D MajorD
 But hunger's the best spice

BB
 Catch a warrior's eye
A augmentedA
 With an asteroid's sign
 G+G A augmentedA
 Stray

 BB
 How could I stay here and rust
           D MajorD A augmentedA
 When I'm set to explode?
 BB
 You can outrun everything
            D MajorD A augmentedA
 But the debts that you owe
 BB
 You think I'm vicious
                 D MajorD A augmentedA
 But you don't know what vicious is
   BB
 I'm numb from the distance
               D MajorD
 So stub out the stars on my wrist
 A augmentedA            BB
 Stub out the stars on my wrist

 BB A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA (x2)

BB
 If it's just the bored
G+G
 Asking this kind of thing
   D MajorD
 Where do we fit in?
BB
 Watch the star dust rise
D MajorD
 With your reddened eyes
G+G  A augmentedA
 Take what you want from it

BB
 We're the last ones left

 Left to convalesce
G+G
 Get the others
   A augmentedA
 And cut to the next Scene

BB
 To be truly free
 A augmentedA
 Freedom comes not from, but through me
 G+G A augmentedA
 Take

 BB
 How could I stay here and rust
           D MajorD A augmentedA
 When I'm set to explode?
 BB
 You can outrun everything
            D MajorD A augmentedA

   BB
 I'm numb from the distance
               D MajorD
 So stub out the stars on my wrist

 Stub out the stars on my wrist

 Do you remember when the stars
      G+G
 Were much higher?
 D MajorD     G+G   A augmentedA     G+G A augmentedA

       G+G
 But you grew tired - tired - tired
