F#m         A
Anything at all
F            D
Anything and I will find you
F#m         A
Anything at all
       F              D
Can I be your first brawl?

F#m  A            F       D
Everyone that's there is someone
F#m  A           F       D
Everyone that's here is someone
F#m  A        F        D         A
Everyone, I swear, is someone's daughter

Chorus:
        D                    A
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
          E                B7
When the bastards come to fight
        D                         A
And it won't be long before they carry me home
         E              B7
I'm the bastard of your light

When it's said and done
Meet me at the old meat market
When it's said and done
Can I please make you come?

Everyone that goes is someone
Everyone that throws is someone
Everyone that knows it's in the water

Chorus:
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
When the bastards come to fight
And it won't be long before they carry me home
I'm the bastard of your light
And it feels so fine to know my shattering bones
When it's all those lefts and rights
And it won't be long before I'm buried alone
I'm the bastard of your light

F#m       A
I'll decorate your face
              C     B
It's time to get it on
F#m             A
How does that crimson taste?
  F           C     E
What, what, what, what?

It's time to bob and weave
Ya gotta move your feet
It's an honor to receive

Tomato cans on tap
Another dandy chap
How 'bout a canvas nap?
One, two, three, four

Chorus:
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
When the bastards come to fight
And it won't be long before they carry me home
I'm the bastard of your light
And it feels so good upon a Saturday night
When the bastards come to fight
And it won't be long before they carry me home
I'm the bastard of your light
