**Didn't figure out the solo part though, sorry!

Capo 2


           C#m
When I was younger
                               A
I wish that I would have known better
                            E
Better love makes a fat romance

That lasts for more than a shoe shine

    C#m
I’m older
                         A
Took all the words of my mother
                    E
Saying it could be worse, could be born with that disease
 B
Instead of catching it first



 C#m
So let’s go back
                         A
To the first time that I met you

In your Chevy,
          E
With your hands stretched and me crying, screaming
B
“Mercy. Mercy.”

 C#m
But I know that I was put here
        A
To fight Vikings in the cold war,
 E
with my arms out in the front lines, singing
 B
“Dare me Dare me.”


                Asus2
But these things take time, love
             E
These things take backbone
           C#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
                      B
'Cause they think it’s better, better
              E
But you better know how to point out the liars
 C#m
You’ve got to weigh your wars
                                 B
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
                     A
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?


                  C#m
It feels like this world has
                   A
Been growing slowly upside down
                      E
Maybe I should move to China and straighten this mess out
               C#m
Maybe I’ll be a poet
                      A
Watch all the sky for falling words
                             E
And write about my grandma’s curtains
                                B
Or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse

       C#m
I’ve got my mouth, It’s a weapon
      A
It’s a bombshell, It’s a cannon
         E
I’ve got my words
                   B
I won’t give them, Mercy Mercy



                 Asus2
Well these things take time, love
             E
These things take backbone
           C#m
And they’ll tell you what you want to hear
                      B
'Cause they think it’s better, better
              E
But you better know how to point out the liars
 C#m
You’ve got to weigh your wars
                                 B
Make sure you’re not fighting for nothing, nothing
                     A
Are you fighting for nothing, nothing?



DURING SOLO:
B  2x



     C#m (one strum each)
I’ve got my words
       A
I hope they hurt you
          E
I hope they scar you
        B
I hope they heal you


            C#m
I hope they cut you open, make you see you’ve been warring
 A
For all the wrong reasons
Make you see that some things
E
Are worth bruising for
Make you see that your name
        B
Is your honor code
Make you see that your hands
            C#m
You’re accounted for
Pick and choose where your sweat
         A
And your blood will go
Make you see your life’s not
  E
To be lived alone

Run their spit through your hair
                B
You’re worth nothing
 B
Nothing

'Cause they think it’s better, better
