Lilac & Black Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We all escap[D]ed from som[C]ewhere else
[G]To the cruel,
cruel [D]city where the as[C]phalt melts
[Em]In the heat of our anger[Bm]
[Am]which finds no release
[D]In the lab rat maze of ever-
[C]narrowing streets

[Verse 2]
It's [G]no surprise
[D]We'[C]ve got blood [G]in
our [D]eyes[C]
We've [G]been alone too [D]long[C]
[G]We belong toget[D]her with our
[C]weapons drawn

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][C]
[D][Em][C]

[Verse 3]
[D]Tonight, tonight I'm[Em] dreaming
of my queer girl gang
We [C]who walk this deadly [D]path
And [Em]the city that tries to kill
us each night
[C]Will soon bow before our [D]wrath,
ah
[Em][C]

[Verse 4]
[D]
We've [Em]got death stares
to ward off enemies
Am[C]ulets to ward off [D]fear
And I [Em]try to keep count,
try to guess the amount
Who'll [C]make it through the coming [D]year,
the coming year
[Em]

[Verse 5]
So now [Am]we're calling out to stations
'cross the underground
[G]Gather all your savages and send them out
[Am]If you get the signal,
come defend the crown
[C]That nobody [G]knows you [D]wear

[Verse 6]
[D]
We're out here [Em]on the at[G]tack
We wear [C]the lilac and [D]black
We might [Em]not make it b[G]ack
We wear the [C]lilac and [D]black

[Verse 7]
[E]The cis question if we really exist,
[Em]sometimes [C]even we've got dou[D]bts
But [Em]the fem[E]inine deferred like
a rubbed- [Em]out word
Is still [C]passed around from
mouth [D]to mouth
Hell, yeah
[Em][C]

[Verse 8]
[D]
We might [Em]smile and laugh in a photograph
But you [C]know our pretty
heads are [D]haunted
We're [Em]the frozen girls
in a planned- out world
They never [C]once asked us what we [D]wanted,
no
[Em]

[Verse 9]
So now we're [Am]in the territory
we've been in before
[G]End the preparations as
begin the war
[Am]The streets of this city's
what we're asking for
And we'll [C]take 'em if
[G]they're not given
[D]

[Verse 10]
We're never [Em]com ing [G]back
We wear the [C]lilac and [D]black
We're out here [Em]on the at[G]tack
We wear the [C]lilac and [D]black

[Verse 11]
No, we might [Em]not make it b[G]ack
But we wear [C]lilac and [D]black
We leave no [Em]trace you can [G]track
We wear the [C]lilac and black
[D][Em]
