Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Half-Step Down

For all the D chords in the verse, play a D for 4 beats, then a Dsus2 for 2 beats and a
Dsus4 for 2 beats like here in the intro:

    D                                         Bm                   G
eb|-2--------0----3----|-2--------0----3----|-2--------0----3----|-2--------0----3----|
Bb|-3--------3----3----|-3--------3----3----|-3--------3----3----|-3--------3----3----|
Gb|-2--------2----2----|-2--------2----2----|-4--------4----4----|-0--------0----0----|
Db|-0--------0----0----|-0--------0----0----|--------------------|-0--------0----0----|
Ab|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
Eb|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|

Also, all the F#m chords in the outro ("I am only bad news") are really quick and can be
played as just the 2nd fret of the Eb string.

D
I wanna be more discreet,
                                Bm       G        D
I want em all to quit following me
(D)
In the walls held captive, lives a mouse,
                                  Bm        G        D
I don't have the guts to kick him out
(D)
In the bars where I live, lives someone
                              Bm        G         D
who I woulda hated when I was young


             A
When I swore life had a purpose
           Bm
When I was sure the whole things worth it
         C
Damn the days we took for granted
       G               A
Never again will I let anyone close to me


D  F#m     G      A      D         F#m     G      A
Me and the rodent in the wall have more in common after all

Bm        G


D
So burn the fucker down, I don't care anymore
                Bm         G        D
I'll let it all go
(D)
Cause if this is what you want, I understand
                                      Bm        G        D
Good luck with the guilt left on your hands


           A
I've tried running, I've tried hiding
           Bm
I've tried everything but dying
         C
Damn the days we took for granted
       G               A
Never again will I let anyone close to me


D  F#m     G      A      D         F#m     G      A
Me and the rodent in the wall have more in common after all
