Capo 2

Intro:
G+G

Verse 1:
G+G
hopeless, he says that everything is hopeless
              E minorEm
and now we're old enough to notice it
     C majorC
says were bound for sure destruction
                  G+G
but our eyes have been closed to it

Verse 2:
G+G
out of sight, left a letter and left town tonight
            E minorEm
said its better to lay down than fight
     C majorC
and as he went she starts carrying off every weapon in sight
          E minorEm           C majorC
and she tells him, I'm like a lipstick of dynamite
              D MajorD
and I could blow you right down

Pre-Chorus:
   C majorC            G+G
and I've lost a lot trying to better your clock
    E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC
but whatever you've lost I've found

Chorus:
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G
 so don't stop me now
      C majorC     E minorEm         D MajorD
I'm already past the point of trying to figure it out
    G+G       D MajorD      C majorC
and if what's coming out of your mouth
                     D MajorD
is just a taste of all the trouble broken figures you've found
     G+G                 C majorC
then you can't say what you've got on your mind
  G+G                 C majorC
oh, wash your hands of everything and write off the time
     G+G            D MajorD
she said they should call you mr. coward
       E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC
because you love ‘em before you leave ‘em behind

Post-Chorus:
     G+G             C majorC        D MajorD     G+G
when the bars close down, I know tomorrow you'll be harder to find

Verse 3:
    G+G                  E minorEm
and I'm aching now, I mean I'm waking up and breaking out
                 C majorC
I'm throwing off the chains that weigh me down
  E minorEm                D MajorD
and erase the thought of fate on the frown
    G+G              E minorEm
and I'm losing it by any definition new to me
             C majorC          D MajorD          C majorC
I used to fumble and you move your lips to stone when you pull me down
       G+G               E minorEm      D MajorD    C majorC
this love is getting off the rough and were both getting knocked around

Chorus:
E minorEm     D MajorD    G+G
 so don't stop me now
      C majorC     E minorEm         D MajorD
I'm already past the point of trying to figure it out
    G+G       D MajorD      C majorC
and if what's coming out of your mouth
                     D MajorD
is just a taste of all the trouble broken figures you've found
     G+G                 C majorC
then you can't say what you've got on your mind
  G+G                 C majorC
oh, wash your hands of everything and write off the time
     G+G            D MajorD
she said they should call you mr. coward
       E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC
because you love ‘em before you leave ‘em behind

Bridge:
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC

Outro:
        G+G
and it takes a lot to get her out the love seat (staring now when you said I'm breaking down)
            D MajorD
and she's lost but she says she's had enough of me (you've shown that you're ready for it now)
      A minorAm
I'm blowing off ambitions that she tried to keep (hell you always have to let it out)
       C majorC
she's having thoughts of spending time in other scenes (so let it out, just let it out)
      G+G
and like a boss she's rolling up her rubber sleeves
       D MajorD
wash it off about as quickly as your lover bleeds
   A minorAm
knees crossed to have to live to watch another leave
    C majorC
reason tossed about through 50 thousand other means
         G+G
so with all broken figures that you tried to be (you sat and you thought I would wait for rain)
      D MajorD
no statistician that showed you what you wait to see (no, you're impressed that I was coming off strong)
       A minorAm
no songs that said we live in perfect harmony (I tried to tell you that I said it all wrong)
    C majorC
