Rat a Tat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]It's Courtney, bitch.
(Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat hey)
No thesis existed for burning cities
down at such a rampant rate
[C]No graphics and no fucking
PowerPoint[Am]presentation
So they just DIY'd that shit and
built their own [C]bombs
She's his suicide blond,
she's never in gold
[Am]Are you ready [C]for an

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Am]other bad poem?
One more off key anthem
Let your teeth sink [Em]in
[F]Remember me as I [Em]was not as [Dm]I am
And I [Am]said "I'll check in tomorrow
if I don't wake up dead,"
[Em]I kept wishing she h[F]ad blonde ambition
and she'd [Em]let it go [Dm]to my head

[Verse 3]
[F]Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat [G]tat tat hey
If my [Am]love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
[F]Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat [G]hey
If my heart is a gren[Am]ade
You pull the pin and say
[C]We're

[Verse 4]
all fighting growing old
[G]We're all fighting growing old
In [Am]the h[F]opes
Of a [Am]few minutes m[F]ore
[C]To get on St. Peter's [G]list
[Gsus4]But you need [G]to lower
[Am]your standards[F]
[Am]'Cause it's [F]never
Getting any better than [Am]this

[Verse 5]
We are professional ashes [Am]of roses
[C]This kerosene's live
You settled your score
This is where you come to beg,
un[Am]born and unshaven
Killing fields [G]of fire to a
[C]congress of ravens
This is what we do, we [Dm]nightmare [Am]you
I'm [G]about to make the sweat

[Verse 6]
[G]
[Am]roll backwards
And your heart beat in reverse
Our guts can't be re[Em]worked
As alone [F]as a little white church in
[Em]the middle of the desert
[Dm]Getting burned
But I'll [Am]take your heart served up two ways
I sing a bitter [Em]song
I'm the loneli[F]er version of you
I just don't [Em]know where I [Dm]went wrong

[Verse 7]
[F]Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat [G]tat hey
If my [Am]love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
[F]Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat [G]tat hey
If my heart is [Am]a grenade
You pull the pin and say
[Dm]We're

[Verse 8]
[C]all fighting growing old
We're [G]all fight[Gsus4]ing growi[G]ng old
[Am]In the [F]hopes
Of a [Am]few minutes m[F]ore
To [C]get on St. Peter's [G]list
[Gsus4]But you need to lower[G]
[Am]your standards[F]
'Cause it's [Am]never[F]
Getting any better than [Am]this

[Verse 9]
(Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat [Am]tat hey)
It's never
Getting any better than this
(Rat a tat [F]tat Rat a tat tat [Am]tat hey)
It's [Dm]never
Getting any better than [Am]this
(Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey)
It's never
Getting any better than this
(Rat a tat [F]tat Rat a tat tat tat hey)
It's [Dm]never
Getting any better than this She's
[C]sick and she's wrong
She's young dirty blonde
And you sink [G]inside her like
a suicide bomb
He says "I've [Am]seen bigger"
She says "I've lit better"
And they [F]throw the matches
down into the glitter
[C]Not a dry eye left in the house
Go boy, [G]go boy, run for your life
[Am]Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Go boy, go boy, run for your life

[Verse 10]
We're all fighting [Am]growing old
We're all fight[Dm]ing g[Am]rowing o[Dm]ld[Am]
In the [F]hopes
Of [Am]a few minutes [F]more
[C]To get on St. Peter's [G]list[C]
[G]But you need to lower your
[Am]standards[F]
[Am]'Cause it's [F]never

[Verse 11]
Getting any better than this
[Am](Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey)
It's never
Getting any better than this
(Rat a tat [Em]tat R[F]at a tat tat t[Em]at hey)
It's never
[Dm]Getting any better than this[Am]
(Rat a tat tat Rat a tat tat tat hey)
It's never
Getting any better than this
[Em](Rat a tat tat [F]Rat a tat tat [Em]tat hey)
It's [Dm]never
Getting any better than [Am]this

[Verse 12]
Are you ready for another bad poem?
