Em You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground We are the jack-o-lanterns in July Setting fire to the sky Here, here comes this rising tide so come on (Put on your war paint) Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to die Silver clouds with grey linings Em7 Am6 Em So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked Em7 Am6 Em One maniac at a time we will take it back Em7 Am6/C Em You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start Em D So dance alone to the beat of your heart Chorus: D Em C/E Hey young blood doesn't it feel A/E C/E Like our time is running out D Em C/E I'm going to change you like a remix A/E C/E Then I'll raise you like a phoenix D Em C/E You're wearing our vintage misery A/E C/E No, I think it looked a little better on me D Em C/E I'm going to change you like a remix C/E A/E Em Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Bring home the boys in scraps, scrap metal the tanks Get hitched make a career out of robbing banks Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks "You broke our spirit," says the note we pass So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart Chorus Em Put on your war paint Em G/D The war is won before it's begun A/C# Release the doves C Surrender love - x4 Chorus: Hey, young blood, doesn't it feel Like our time is running out?
