C# 
Who's the hippy now? 
   F# 
I cut it off to make you proud, 
          C# 
Abuse my limbs until the sun goes down 
                     Bbm 
I don't want to be alone again. 
C# 
Got Jesus' Autograph, 
    F# 
No handshake or pat on the ass 
     C# 
His saving grace was talking fast 
                    Bbm 
I don't want to be bored again 
               F# 
Am I ready to take that chance, 
                F#m 
Put my faith in someone else? 
 
C# 
Let's use this dynamite, 
C#                 Ab    F# 
We?re only making noises 
 
C# 
I'll make the brightness yours 
F# 
So we can deny who we are, 
  C# 
I Love you but not today 
                  Bbm 
The darkness fell like a shout. 
               F# 
Am I ready to take that chance, 
                F#m 
Put my faith in someone else? 
 
C# 
Let's use this dynamite, 
C#                 Ab    F# 
We?re only making noises 
 
   Ab 
Together we stand, 
              C#             F# 
We?re at the bottom of the cove 
    Ab 
it looked like rain  
       C#         F# 
butit felt like snow 
            Ab 
Because wherever we stand,  
              C#             F# 
we're at the bottom of the hole, 
       Ab 
We?ll dig our way out,  
           F#               
but we'll still say no. 
 
C# 
The wound is king and how, 
      F# 
His whorses turn they make him proud 
     C# 
His vision's clipped like wings and crowns 
               Bbm 
Lets use this photograph 
            F# 
He?s never had the chance  
              F#m 
to believe in something else. 
 
C# 
Let?s use this dynamite,  
C#                 Ab    F# 
we're only making noises 
C# 
We want to affect a change  
      C#                   Ab    F# 
with voice and electrical noises 
 
   Ab 
Together we stand, 
              C#             F# 
We?re at the bottom of the cove 
    Ab 
it looked like rain  
        C#         F# 
but it felt like snow 
            Ab 
Because wherever we stand,  
              C#             F# 
we're at the bottom of the hole, 
       Ab 
We?ll dig our way out,  
           F#                C# 
but we'll still say no. 
 
Interlude
 
Darkness fell like a shout; 
The darkness fell like a shout; 
Darkness fell like the shout; 
 
    C# 
We want to affect a change,  
      C#                   Ab    F# 
with voice and electrical noises 
 
    Ab 
Wherever we crash,  
              C#              F# 
we're gonna blame it on the old 
  Ab 
Unique to the touch,  
     C#               F# 
and crippled to the bone 
   Ab 
However we stand  
             C#                F# 
they'll be swinging from the ropes 
   Ab 
Unfinished and young  
      F#                     C# 
or unhappy and old
