Tom: C
F Dm Am
love's like a needle full of methadone
F Dm Am C
potent but not real left you wanting more
F Dm
lipstick track-marks bleeding wet
Am C
like Montagues and Capulets
F Dm Am C
for us, child, the stars refuse to shine
F Dm Am
why for us, child, do the stars refuse to shine?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
somewhere strung out on the lam
Am
we wound up back here again
G
like unstable chemicals
Dm Em F
combining only to explode
[Chorus 1]
Am F C G
what would it take for you to notice
Am F C
i am heart on fire and all the
G
world's a fuse so don't get close
Am F
the trouble and the worth
C G F
am i better off on my own?
[Verse 2]
F Dm Am C
contaminated quarantined then left alone
F Dm Am C
shipment refused address unknown
F Dm
damaged goods they soon forget
Am C
in choking dust where we got left
F Dm Am
for us all the stars refuse to shine
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
so tap the vein and light the match
Am
we burn like stars before the crash
G
but for you there's still a chance
Dm Em F
just let go
[Chorus 2]
Am F C G
what would it take for you to notice
Am F C
i am heart on fire and all the
G
world's a fuse so don't get close
Am F
the trouble and the worth
C G
am i better off on my own?
[Post-Chorus]
F G Am F
C Dm Am Em F G
[Bridge]
Am F
but now there's nowhere to run
C G Am F
and now there's nowhere to hide
C G Am F
there's nothing under the sun
C G Am F C
we haven't already tried
[Chorus 3]
Am F C G
what would it take for you to notice
Am F
that i am a hand grenade
C G
pin already pulled so don't let go
Am F
as we chase the sun
C G
my shadow slows us down
Am F
without me along
C G F
you're better off, I know
