Am          Dm                    G           Am
You are, a getaway car, rush of blood to the head
A7          Dm                      G           C G/B
and but me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
Am              Dm                G            Am
You steer in a rear view mirror, make my head swim
A7          Dm                     G
I keep you warm and not ask you, where you've been

           Am       Dm          G              Am
With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
Am                  Dm         G         Am
When it's said and done, we're all scrambling
    Am      Dm     G       Am
And we're, friends, we're friends
Am     Dm            A#
Just because we move units

Chorus:
   C             G/B          F
Strike, us like matches, 'cuz everyone deserves the flames
        Am              G               F
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
         C    G/B             F
At least everyone is trying, (everyone is shining)
Am          G                           F
Everyone deserves the flames, but it's such a shame Such a shame

The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt (make my ears hurt)
"Oh yeah, you caught me!" But I caught you one worse
They say, "You want a war? You've got a war!" But who are you fighting for?
The tide's out, the ship's run aground, we drown traitors in shallow water

With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done, they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're friends
Just because we move units

Chorus

C    G/B             F
everyone is trying, (everyone is shining)
Am         G                            F
Everyone deserves the flames, but it's such a shame Such a shame

Chorus
