A#m I try to stay on top of you Fm To hold your body down A#m Your shaking seems to hinder every grasp that Fm I had found A#m Moving every inch around me Fm To defuse your private bomb I stretch myself surrounding And protecting you from harm I use a wallet for your mouth So when you bite, you will not bleed I drilled a wire through my cheek And let it down and out my sleeve And now you're pulling out the best of me Yeah, which never ever comes This wire's all that's left of me And it's hooked within my gums, within my gums Chorus: A#m C# C A#m So drill it, so drill it, so hard, I feel it D# F A#m (So drain it) so drill it, so drill it, C# C A#m so hard, I feel it D# Fm (You've got to drain it) As proof to show I'd bleed for this I'd cut myself to shame To get to know this masochist Who's stolen my first name Pretending he's a teacher Holding all my weight at ease But the teacher seems to split in two Destroying both his knees Now crawling, I position myself Below your broken wings I lift your feathered left arm Where you hide your heart from me I never noticed it was swollen With the touch of brutal pain I never knew a heart could live inside The rust from all your rain, all your rain Chorus: So drill it, so drill it So hard I feel it (So drill it) So drill it, so drill it So hard I feel it (So drill it) I didn't think to bring a washcloth or to rub away the dirt Myself and I, we share this barely beating heart of hurt And when the hurt comes, there's an argument A fight to save a smile A small attack on human tears to dry them for a while A dream we all should count on, yeah, a vision I believe In where confidence is found attached to wires on our sleeve And where loneliness is history told to pack his shit and leave And where guidance is a fortune told to help in time of need And where crying isn't secret, it's the art of how we grieve And lessons are the key to every goal I will achieve, I will achieve Chorus: So drill it, so drill it So hard I feel it (So drill it) So drill it, so drill it So hard I feel it (So drill it) So drill it, so drill it So hard (So drill it) So drill it, so drill it So hard (So drill it) So hard So hard You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C  C#  D#  F  Fm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
