C#m Hey man Am Hand me down down with the crooked back C#m What's your father's name? Am Boy, you don't know where you're at C#m Pick yourself up, you don't look so good Am Maybe you should lay down C#m Taught me how to fall Am F#m E But you never told me I was supposed to stay down Chorus: Bm Stick and move Sharpen up the knife F#m Keep it tight E Bm Stay between the lines Bm Make your mark Take your own advice F#m E Don't be surprised when you trip and stumble Bm I played the fool again F#m E My old unfaithful friend Bm Stick and move Sharpen up the knife F#m E Don't be surprised if you can't stay between the C# Am lines Quicksand color blind in the hourglass All spun out 'cause you can't stop looking back Better stay still, don't you make a move What'd you hope to find here? Taught me how to fall But you never told me I was meant to die here Chorus Bm Endless shot rounds No smoking guns Fizzled and faded Now back on the run F#m My sticks and stones Tokyo smoke E I played the fool 'til I started to choke Bm My public smile My double face Half in the light Half in the shade F#m Need some fresh air No place tonight E Guess I'll stay in and continue to fight Bm Lost, trace of trail Spiderweb spun Pale white and blue Now I'm coming undone F#m Play sticks and stones Three shades of black E Two steps away And I can't get back You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C#  C#m  E  F#m  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
