♫ Intro:

A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD G+G (x2)


♫ Verse 1:
A augmentedA              C majorC
I skipped class and took the number five bus
D MajorD            A minorAm
All the way east, just to see where it ends
     A minorAm         C majorC
Smoked a cigarette at Udall Station
D MajorD          A minorAm
Got back on the bus again
A minorAm       C majorC    D MajorD
We've been this way since you met me
      A minorAm
Hearts not heavy, but empty
  A minorAm             C majorC
And once a song could raise me up, but now

D MajorD           A minorAm
there's nothing, so I stumbled home a
broken man
A minorAm  C majorC         C5C5
With blood on my hands, dead on my feet

Shot down where I stand
   A minorAm         C majorC
With blood on my hands, dead on my feet
DmDm         A minorAm
Shot where I stand

Chrous:
      C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
Freedom is beautiful and terrible, it's
         FF
nothing soft and sweet

     C majorC       G+G     A minorAm
It's used bullets on the sidewalk, fires
      FF
across the street
  C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
It's you moving in with your new boyfriend
  FF
in Oakland

      C majorC     G+G    A minorAm
It's a pack of wild dogs on a road
      FF
without a street lamp
   C majorC            G+G
It's roaches in the bathroom, mice in the kitchen
  A minorAm              FF
And no one left to blame for the way I've been living
   C majorC          G+G
It's mice in the kitchen, roaches in the bathroom
A minorAm N.C.
And no one left to blame

♫ Break:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD A5A5


♫ Verse 2:
 A minorAm           C majorC
I woke up late and missed class again
D MajorD                A minorAm
And so I brewed a pot of coffee and went back to bed
      A minorAm
Snatch some bread selling junk from the
C majorC
back of the shed

D MajorD
Hop the fence, because the front's being
A minorAm
watched by the feds
A minorAm       A minorAm     C majorC
We've been this way since we've been
    D MajorD
alive, reckless and shy
  A minorAm        C majorC
So I set fire to the house and took off running
D MajorD           A minorAm
I hope that you won't mind
 A minorAm N.C.
I burned down the house to get myself out of this hell alive
 A minorAm            C majorC
I burned down the house to get myself out
 DmDm         A minorAm
I hope you don't mind


♫ Chorus:
      C majorC        G+G
Freedom is nothing soft and sweet, it's
    A minorAm    FF
beautiful and terrible
   C majorC       G+G
It's admitting everything that I don't

A minorAm      FF
want anyone to know
       C majorC       G+G
It's telling people that I love I stole

A minorAm           FF
from them when they weren't looking
       C majorC     G+G
It's fucking up so many times that they

A minorAm       FF
won't pick up when I call them
   C majorC                G+G
It's watching people die because they got back in it
  A minorAm            FF
And knowing that I don't have any say in it
   C majorC            G+G            A minorAm N.C.
It's watching people die, and knowing I don't get any say


♫ Outro:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
