Intro Bbm Verse 1: Bbm Ab The bitter taste, I hold my tongue Eb The manic hope the damage done Bbm Ab It's bittersweet, black on gold Eb Talk is cheap, or so I'm told Bbm I'm gonna ride this back to the edge of town Ab Roll to the bridge with my eyes shut Eb And spit at the stars And scream in the dark Bbm There's nothing I can do to change it now Ab But if I cut myself open, baby Eb You can read all my scars Read all my scars Gb Bbm Hello, goodbye Db Ab There's a million ways to die Gb Should've let me way back Bbm Should've let me way back Db Ab By the roadside Gb Bbm Hello, goodbye Db Ab I was staring in the devil's eyes Gb Should've let me way back Bbm Should've let me way back Db Eb By the roadside Bbm It's a bitter taste Verse 2: Bbm Ab Jagged stain on my skin Eb Broken leg, born again Bbm Ab You are the guy, upside down Eb Twisted free, my new crown Bbm I'm gonna ride this back to the break of day Ab Rolling through the goggle of the fountain Eb Won't take it away I'm not gonna change Bbm I'm gonna live so hard, these broken wings Ab Will lift me to the sun so I can burn Eb Up in the clinch Again and again Gb Bbm Hello, goodbye Db Ab There's a million ways to die Gb Should've let me way back Bbm Should've let me way back Db Ab By the roadside Gb Bbm Hello, goodbye Db Ab I was staring in the devil's eyes Gb Should've let me way back Bbm Should've let me way back Db Eb By the roadside Gb Bbm Db Ab It's a bitter taste Bridge: Gb Bbm Db Ab It's a jagged state Gb Bbm Db Ab It's a bitter taste Gb Bbm Db Eb It's a jagged state Gb Bbm Hello, goodbye Db Ab There's a million ways to die Gb Should've let me way back Bbm Should've let me way back Db Ab By the roadside Bbm It's a bitter taste
