Molotov Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
With my [D]back [G]to the [D]wall [G]you've
[D]somehow [G]pinned me up [D]against.
[Em]Fingernail[Bm]s in the palms[Em] of[G]
these [Bm]tightly clenched [Em]fists.
[G]And I'm somewhe[D]re in bet[Em]ween
[G]a hel[D]d tongue and a cur[Bm]se.
[Em]Or I could keep [D]it insid[G]e, and hide it.
In hopes my [D]avoid[G]ance will cure [Bm]it.
But there's [G]no [Bm]time for this.
Or I could [G]keep it inside, and hide it.
In hopes my [D]avoidance will [Em]cure [Bm]it.
[D]But there's no [Bm]time for [Em]this [G]again.

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
So light it up and let it [G]fly away.
[Bm]A Molotov Cocktail,
my dreams [G]symbol[Bm]ized [G]in [F#m]flames.

[Verse 3]
Put your back to them [D]all,
I swear they're not getting you there.
[Em]A blueprin[Bm]t for the outs[Em]ide,
[G]when it's col[Bm]d out the[Em]re.
[G]It's not [D]clear, but I re[G]fuse [D]to breathe
from these ma[Bm]chines [G]again.[Bm]
[Em]You all depend[D] on the filt[G]er
[Em]s that kee[D]p you aw[G]ay
[Em]From the pain [Bm]when[Em] you cry,
[Bm]and the prai[Em]ses you sang.
[G]It's not [D]real so I re[G]fuse to [D]breathe from
[Bm]these machines again.
[Em][G]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
So light it up [G]and [Bm]let it [G]fly away.
[Bm]A Molotov Cocktail,
my dreams symbolized [G]in flames.
And [Bm]I won't ask a lot fr[G]om you,
[Bm]I just pra[G]y that the masks will come ung[Bm]lued.
And we're not yours,
[G]we'll be [Bm]with [G]you soon.

[Interlude 1]
[F#m][G][F#m][D]

[Verse 5]
I [G]hope [F#m]we can[D] be[A] wi[G]th[F#m]
[D]you soon.

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][F#m][D][Bm][D][A][Bm]

[Verse 6]
So light it [Bm]up and let it fl[G]y away.
[Bm]A Molotov Cocktail,
my dreams symbolized [G]in flames.
And [Bm]I won't ask a lot fr[G]om you[Bm],
I just [G]pray that the masks will come [Bm]unglued.
And we're not yours,
we'll be with [G]you soon.

[Verse 7]
[Bm]
And this routine feels like a knife,
[A]ent[Am]ering my back the[A]n down my spi[G]ne.
I've withstood the sting for long enough,
[F#m]and I'm prepared to discard it.[Bm]
So light it up and let it [A]go [G]away. So light it
up and let it [F#m]fly aw[D]ay.[F#m]

[Verse 8]
[G]Fly away.
