[Verse 1]
Dm C
We’re bound to wait
Dm
all night
C
She’s bound to run
Dm
amok
C
Invested enough in it
G
anyhow,
Dm
To each his own
Dm C
The garden needs
Dm
sorting out
C
She curls her lips on
Dm
a bow
C
I don’t know if I’m
G
dead or not
Dm
To anyone…
C
Come on and get the
Dm
minimum
C
Before you open up
Dm
your eyes,
C
This army has so many
G
heads
Dm
To analyse
C
Come on and get your
Dm
overdose
C
Collect it at the
Dm
borderline
C
They want to get up in
G
your head…
[Chorus 1]
Dm C
Cause they know and so
G
do I
Dm C
The high road is hard
G
to find
Dm C
A detour to your new
G
life
Dm
Tell all of your
C G
friends goodbye
[Verse 2]
Dm C
The dawn to end all
Dm
nights
C
That’s all we hoped it
Dm
was
C
A break from the
G
warfare in your
house
Dm
To each his own
C
The soldier is bailing
Dm
out
C
And curled his lips on
Dm
a barrel
C
And I don’t know if
G
the dead can talk
Dm
To anyone…
C
Come on and get the
Dm
minimum
C
Before you open up
Dm
your eyes
C
This army has so many
G
hands
Dm
Are you one of us
C
Come on and get your
Dm
overdose
C
Collect it at the
Dm
borderline
C
And they want to get
G
up in your head
[Chorus 2]
Dm C
Cause they know, so do
G
I
Dm C
The high road is hard
G
to find
Dm C
A detour to your new
G
life
Dm
Tell all of your
C G
friends goodbye
Bridge
[Outro]
C
It’s too late to
F
change your mind
Dm
You let loss be
G (repeat)
your guide
