Bm Em Was that somebody's scream, It wasn't me for sure A# Gm I lift my head up from uneasy pillows, Put my feet on the floor Dm Gm I Cut my wrist on a bad thought and head for the door Outside on the pavement The dark makes no noise I can feel the sweat on my lips Leaking into my mouth I'm heading out for the steep hills They're leaving me no choice Chorus: Em G D Am C G D Am And see as our lives are in the making Em G D Am C G D We believe through the lies and the hating Am Em G Am That love goes free For want of an option I run the wind 'round I dream pictures of houses burning Never knowing nothing else to do With death comes the morning Unannounced and new Was it too much to ask for To pull a little weight... They forgive anything but greatness These are scoundrel days And I'm close to calling out their names As pride hits my face Chorus: Em G D Am C G D Am And see as our lives are in the making Em G D Am C G D We believe through the lies and the hating Am Gm F Em D# Gm F Em D# That love goes free through scoundrel days I reach the edge of town I've got blood in my hair Their hands touch my body From everywhere But I know that I've made it As I run into the air Chorus: Em G D Am C G D Am And see as our lives are in the making Em G D Am C G D We believe through the lies and the hating Am Em G D Am C G D That love goes free Am G Through scoundrel days You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  C  D  Dm  D#  Em  F  G  Gm  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
