BbmBbm


🤘 Verse:

      BbmBbm       AbAb
The bitter taste, I hold my tongue
     Eb MajorEb
The manic hope the damage done
      BbmBbm       AbAb
It's bittersweet, black on gold
    Eb MajorEb
Talk is cheap, or so I'm told
     BbmBbm
I'm gonna ride this back to the edge of town
AbAb
Roll to the bridge with my eyes shut
        Eb MajorEb
And spit at the stars

And scream in the dark
    BbmBbm
There's nothing I can do to change it now
     AbAb
But if I cut myself open, baby
          Eb MajorEb
You can read all my scars

Read all my scars


🤘 Chorus:

   GbGb    BbmBbm
Hello, goodbye
     DbDb       AbAb
There's a million ways to die
     GbGb
Should've let me way back
     BbmBbm
Should've let me way back
    DbDb     AbAb
By the roadside
  GbGb   BbmBbm
Hello, goodbye
   DbDb           AbAb
I was staring in the devil's eyes
     GbGb
Should've let me way back
     BbmBbm
Should've let me way back
    DbDb     Eb MajorEb
By the roadside

       BbmBbm
It's a bitter taste

🤘 Verse 2:

    BbmBbm     AbAb
Jagged stain on my skin
    Eb MajorEb
Broken leg, born again
      BbmBbm     AbAb
You are the guy, upside down
    Eb MajorEb
Twisted free, my new crown
     BbmBbm
I'm gonna ride this back to the break of day
AbAb
Rolling through the goggle of the fountain
        Eb MajorEb
Won't take it away

I'm not gonna change
     BbmBbm
I'm gonna live so hard, these broken wings
   AbAb
Will lift me to the sun so I can burn
     Eb MajorEb
Up in the clinch

Again and again

I was staring in the devil's eyes
