[Bm][C][Bm][C][Em][C][Bm]
[G][C][Bm][G][Em][C][Bm][A][C#]
[Bm]

[Verse 1]
Don't ever ask us [Em]to define [Bm]our morals[A]
[Bm]Sometimes when funda[Em]mentals
meet teenage [Bm]heartbreak
Some [Em]of us[Bm] are all of [A]us,[Bm]
[Em]half-selves that that love whole hopes
And hara-kiri heart[D]break[C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]heartbreak
There's [Em]almost [D]noth[A]ing

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
[Em]worse
[C]There's almost [Bm]nothing
[G](worse than never being) real[C]
(Strained[Am]voices crying) wolf (when nobody
[A]can[Bm]) hea[G]r[C][Bm]

[Verse 4]
If I [C]had a [Bm]gun, I'd pump [Em]your ethic
[Bm]s full [Em]of lead[Bm][A][Bm]
If I [Em]be lieved i[Bm]n meat,
[Em]I'd eat a plateful [Bm]of ou[Em]r dead
[C]There's merit in construction

[Verse 5]
[C]
when it's done with our own [Bm]hands
[B]There's bea[Bm]uty in destruction,
a [Am]re surrection, another c[C]hance
There's a you and I in union but just an
I in my be[G]liefs
[F#m]There's a crashing plane [Em]with a banner that
[B]reads, "Every[D#]one's na[Em]ive"

[Verse 6]
The only proof that I have [C]that we shot
and killed this [D]horse
(Is the sounds of whips on flesh
[Bm]and a-) a bleeding heart's remorse
[Em]The only proof that I have that
[C]we shot and killed this [D]horse
[Bm]A bleed[B]ing [Bm]heart[C][Em]
[F#m][Bm][F#m]

[Verse 7]
[A]
[F#m]When I'm In this state of
[Bm]reflection
When you [F#m]hand me w[A]hips
and two by [F#m]fours[C#][F#m]
I could never (bring them down, [D]bring them down,
[Bm]brin[F#m]g them down)
And beat the same [D]horse
(as be[Bm]fore)
(Bring[C]them[B][Bm][B][Em][D#][D#m]
[F#m]down) (as before)
I'd rather [C]kill a stupid flower

[Verse 8]
[C]
[B]and spread its seeds
[Bm]Unti[B]l a gard[Em]en with our bullet-laden
morals morals [A]will [Em]be found[F#m]
I'd rather [C]kill a stupid flower
and [Bm]spread its seeds
Until [B]a g[Em]arden with our bullet-laden
morals mor[D#m]als will be[B] found[F#m]
Will be [G]found[D][F#m]
