Scoundrel Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[B]

[Verse 1]
Was that somebody [B]screaming[Em]
It wasn't me for sure
I [Bb]lift my head up from uneasy
Pillows
Put [Dm]my feet on t[Bb]he floor[Gm]
[Dm]Cut my wrist on [Gm]a bad thought
[Dm]And head[Gm] for the door

[Verse 2]
[B]
Outside on the pavement
[Em]The dark makes no nois[Bb]e
I can feel the sweat on my lips
[Gm]Leaking into my mouth
[Dm]I'm head[D]ing out for the steep hills
[Gm]They're leaving me no choice
[B][G][Bm]

[Verse 3]
And [Em]see, [G]as [D]our[Am]
lives are in [C]the making[G]
[D]We [Am]be liev[Em]e[G][D]
through the [Am]lies and the [C]hating[G]
[D]That lov[Am]e goes fre[Em]e

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
For want of an [Em]option
I run the wind 'round
[Bb]I dream pictures of houses burning
Never [Gm]knowing nothing else to do
[F]With death comes the morning[C]
[Gm]Unannounced and new

[Verse 5]
[B]Was it too [Bm]much [G]to [Bm]ask f[G]or
[Em]To pull a little weight,
[Bb]They forgive everything but greatness
[Gm]These are scoundrel days
[Dm]And I'm clos[Gm]e to call
[D]ing out their nam[Dm]es
[Gm]As pride hits my face[B][Bm][B][Bm]
[Em]See, [G]as [D]our li[Am]ves are in the making[C][G]
[D]We [Am]be liev[Em]e thr[G]ough[D]
their [Am]lies and [C]the hat[G]ing[D]
That [Am]love goes [Gm]free [Em]through
[Eb]Scoundrel days

[Interlude 1]
[Gm][F][C][Edim][Eb][Gm]
[Edim][Eb][Gm][Edim][Eb][Cm]

[Verse 6]
[B]I reach the edg[Bm]e of town
[Em]I've got blood in my hair
[Bb]Their hands touch my body
[Gm]From [Dm]everywhere
But [Gm]I know that I've made [D]it
[Gm]As I run into the air
[Bm][Em][Bm]

[Verse 7]
And [Em]see, [G]as [D]our lives [Am]are in
the [C]mak[G]ing[D][Am]
We [Em]be li[G]eve th[D]rough the
[Am]lies and [C]the hat[G]ing[D]
That [C]love [Am]goes free[Em][G][D][Am][C][G][D]
Through [Am]scoundrel [G]days
