Verse

G    A7sus4                 G
Hold, drip fair into your blood
A7sus4                     G
  Just enough to keep you going
A7sus4                     Em
  To keep your head in the games we'd played
         C
Like its all for fun,
          G
Than it's all to be won
                C
Forgetting it's all for keeps


    G    A7sus4                            G
And pain, some of your loses against your game
A7sus4                              G
  You add them up, they're about the same
A7sus4                    Em
  Just enough to roll the dice again
     C
For another day lay
     G
down all the tears 
           C
Though the house always wins



Chorus:

    G
And you should be,
          D
Somewhere else you see
     C              A7sus4
I'm dying, a dying breed
    G
And you should be, 
          D
Somewhere else you see
    C              A7sus4
I'm dying, a dying breed


G A7sus4
G A7sus4


Verse:

    G        A7sus4                G
And love, the curve ball caught by us
A7sus4                       G
  The perfect mystery not to solve
A7sus4                           Em
  The puppet strings that hold us up to stand,
   C
to go to work
       G
Find a desk to sit behind
    C
and all that shit



Chorus:


    G
But you should be,
          D
Somewhere else you see
     C              A7sus4
I'm dying, a dying breed
    G
And you should be, 
          D
Somewhere else you see
    C              A7sus4
I'm dying, a dying breed


G
You should be,
          D
somewhere else you see
         C
But you won't,
                A7sus4
You're stuck by me
