Intro: Am     F       F5        Am    x2


Verse: 
                F5     G                Am
You want to suffer and show me you're angry,
                F5          G                Am
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
                F5     G                Am      F5    G    Am
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
               F5        G                Am
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
                      F5        G          Am
Drink water and gold dust  and live on impatience.
                        F5  G                 Am
Slaughtered for weakness, electric like static
                        F5          G                Am
Slaughtered, you're weak - there's no need to speak


Chorus:
                    D7             G
You change your shoelaces
        Am            
I light firecrackers
                 F          G      Am
You step on the sparks
                    D7   G
You change your shoelaces
        Am            F
I light firecrackers

G     Am     G     F5    Am


              F5        G       Am
I shouldn't be any great inspiration
           F5           G       Am
I never got in your way
         F5   G             Am
I should never have to chase you
               F5   G         Am
You were the one who ran away
                                                  D7         G                Am
If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
                      F5  G               Am
You would have stopped     before you spoke
                D7         G             Am
Listening to lies, the pain doesn't suit me
                      D7    G           Am
He gift that you gave me, I put it away
                   D7  G                   Am
I couldn't look at it, it made me think of you
                  D7         G             Am
You get in the way





Chorus:
                    D7             G
You change your shoelaces
        Am            
I light firecrackers
                 F          G      Am
You step on the sparks
                    D7   G
You change your shoelaces
        Am            F
I light firecrackers

G     Am     G     F5    Am

               F5        G                Am
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
                      F5      G          Am
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience.
                    F5        G              Am
Electric like static, and no need to speak.
         F5                 G                Am
It's not right but it's not wrong
      F5             G    Am
So I wrote this song
     F5        G                Am
So I wrote this song- is that what you want
                     D7             G         Am
You got what you want - does it make you feel better?
                    D7     G         Am
A smirk on your face and a gun at my head,
                    D7   G          Am
You come to my place and ask to be fed

Chorus:
                    D7             G
You change your shoelaces
        Am            
I light firecrackers
                 F          G      Am
You step on the sparks
                    D7   G
You change your shoelaces
        Am            F
I light firecrackers

                                     F5        G                Am
You get in the way
               F5        G                Am
You get in the way
                F5     G                Am
You want to suffer and show me your angry
                    F5      G           Am
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
                F5     G               Am
You want to suffer and show me your angry
