Gm
Chaos on a Friday
I tip-tow by
No need to get excited
I step outside
Smooth exterior
Mess inside
F            D#
Fight the inferior
A#           C
Across city lines

Chorus:
Dm
It's written over my face
Gm
No sleep zone
Dm
Open up my suitcase
Gm
Sticks and stones

Gm
Iron filings
Breathe 'em right in
F         D#   A#
Catch my breath
          C
Air too thin

Gm
Floating in the darkness
(floating in the darkness)
Talking to the ghosts
(talking to the ghosts)
F                       D#
The ones that want you dead
(the ones that want you dead)
A#                         C
Are the ones you love the most

Chorus

Sticks and stones
Breaking bones
Why do I want to be released
You're the past, not the future

Chorus
