[Intro 1]
[C][G]
[C][G][Em]
[C][G][Em]
[C][G][Em][C]
[G][Em]

[Verse 1]
If [C]you think
you're throwing word[G]s to the wise,
the first thing [Em]that you ever felt,
inside and under your belt
To a [C]place that smother[G]s children
Caught [Em]the space
between two lives

[Verse 2]
[G]I've seen you working,
wasted and gray
You've got a [Em]delicate heart, and listen,
you would be smart
[C]To keep [G]yourself in a world of mothers,
[Em]sisters, daughters and wives

[Verse 3]
[Em]Listen, I've come to [G]rock this boat
[C]The take and giving means
no [B]room for the living
And [Em]some of you think it
[G]loves and lovers
[C]Death in one corner,
use sus[B]pense in the other
I [C]know that when it's over we'll
be holding [G]one another
We [D]only ever wanted to [Am]feel you
[Em]Two years of taction only
[G]teaches you to fight
We [D]only ever wanted to [Em]try
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em]
[C][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
And if [C]you see this world as ugly and thin
Then you'll be so [Em]cruel to the touch,
you'll leap out the body you're in
To [C]a land of angry [G]soil,
that swallows [Em]boys and cops or men
[G]I've seen you taste the salt of your tears
You always [Em]stop when you start,
and listen, you would be smart
[C]To keep [G]yourself in a world of mothers,
[Em]sisters, daughters and wives

[Verse 5]
[Em]Listen, I've come to [G]rock this boat
[C]The take and giving means
no room [B]for the living
And [Em]some of you think it
[G]loves and lovers
[C]Death in one corner,
use sus[B]pense in the other
I [C]know that when it's over we'll
be [G]holding one another
We [D]only ever wanted [Am]to feel you
[Em]Two years of taction only
[G]teaches you to fight
We [D]only ever wanted [Em]to try
[C]

[Verse 6]
I'll raise a [B]glass to the and
[Am]no one else's fool
Raise some [C]question to the rule who says
you'd [G]have to lose a [B]love to find one
[C#m]Take the things you don't
respect [C]and I will miss them
To features night [B]into one
[Em]That[D] says [B]you have[Am]
to lose a [C]love [B]to find one
I [C]know that when it's over we'll
be [G]holding one another
We [D]only ever wanted [Am]to feel [Em]you
Two years of taction only
[G]teaches you to fight
We [D]only ever wanted [Em]to try

[Verse 7]
I'm [Em]around, I'm around,
I'm [G]ok, I'm ok
I'm [C]alive, I'm alive,
I'm in[Bsus4]sane, I'm ins[B]ane
We [Em]are, yeah, we are, we [G]are
We [C]are just sinking [B]for something

[Verse 8]
With our hand[Em]s, and our fists,
muscles, [G]skin, thumb, and bone
We [C]never grew up,
we were [Bsus4]cut from the s[B]tone
That [Em]holds your body and [G]soul
We [C]are all just sinking for something

[Outro 1]
