Em7
Good and bad
    G                 Em7                G
I swear I've had them both, they're overrated
           F
But is it fun
              A
When you get hold of one
Em7
Some gone bad
     G
And some gone back
Em7                G
Good ones all get taken
                    F
I'm calling' your bluff
             A
You ain't strong enough

A#                    G             A#              G
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
A#                     G                  C
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned

Chorus:
 G D/F#
Halo
 F         C/E
God only knows
D#              D             C D
Right behind me everywhere I go
 G D/F#
Halo
 F        C/E
God only knows
D#              D             C D
Right behind me everywhere I go

Say your prayers when you get scared
Pray you're gonna make it
And then when you're done
You keep fucking up
One day soon I'll disappear
And if you'll come I'll take you somewhere to go
To keep from growing old

Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned

Chorus

 Cm             D
Disappear, the light is fading
 D#            F
Disappear, outside their rage
 Cm             D
Disappear, I'm tired of waiting
 D#          F            G
Disappear before we get away

Chorus
