Am E Am E

Verse 1:
Am       E
Lungs love holes
 Am                E
Escaping words you know
Am                  E
Smoke gets in your eyes
        Am             E
Still blowing in the wind
        C#m              F#        A
And we can't beat this cancer, can we?
        E
Answer me

Chorus:
B
Kids don't know shit
 A                              E
Everything they've learned is wrong
B                               A                      E
Boys in the neighborhood are fit, they fight all night long
B                       A                             E
Kids don't know it, but everything they've touched is gone
      B
Cause no one understands
          A                               E
You can't stand under something that's all wrong

Verse 2:
Am                          E
   When you're facing the day
Am                        E
   When you're wasting away
G#m             A                    G#m
    And you get lighter than your brain
             A             C#m
And it grows tighter everyday

Am                                C#m  E
Love's lungs hold air to a blow a hole
Am
Cold chest grows, fills up with smoke
             E         C#m
At least your head is warm
        F#             A
Still forming ways to warm the baby, the baby's bed

Chorus:
      B
Cause kids don't know shit
 A                              E
Everything they've learned is wrong
       B                         A
The girls on the block are listening in
                      E
They sing, 'let's get strong'
B                       A                          E
Kids don't know it, but everything they've got is gone
   B
We used it for some fuel and food
         A                                E
Then the rats took it from us and made a bomb

Verse 3:
Am         E
Words love holes
         Am               E
Getting lost in lies we know
           C#m              F#
Still believing branches weaving forests
   A
Leaving helps them grow

Chorus:
B
Kids don't know shit
 A                          E
Everything we learned was wrong
B
Deep down we knew it
     A                  E
We always knew it all along
B                        A                           E
Nebular splendor, I'll remember those constellations forever
  B                         A
A cursory person turns to me and says
                      E
'well, you won't live forever'
