Intro Bm G A 

verse 1 
Bm               G      A    Bm          G    A 
Putting pennies on the track, shiny and flat, 
Bm              G      A     Bm          G    A 
It was the best we could be, sexy and free 
Bm                G   A Bm                 G    A 
I grow away from myself with each passing bell 
Bm               G      A               Bm            G    A 
With all these new accessories, I just stumble and bleed 
 
D            A 
For a moment I feel the coldness 
C#m             G 
At the end of a fall day 
D                   A 
I put my hands down deep in my pockets 
G          F# 
As my body awakes 

verse 2 
Bm               G      A    Bm              G    A 
So I'm heading back to school all brilliant and new, 
Bm               G      A    Bm               G    A 
Trying hard to fit in and not to walk like a man 
Bm               G      A    Bm               G    A 
A girl that I never noticed asked me to hold this 
Bm               G      A    Bm          G    A 
A secret too hard to tell and I never will 

D            A 
For a moment I feel the coldness 
C#m                      G 
Of everything that's been taken away 
D                   A 
I put the phone back in the cradle, 
G                F# 
I can't make this okay 

Bridge 
Bm         G         A 
The damage she'll survive 
Bm            G     A 
But damn the sacrifice of 
Bm     G          A 
Every life we've lost 
              G             F# 
Damn all the cost of the assault 

verse 3 
Bm               G      A   
You tied a knot and you dared me, 
Bm               G      A   
The stem of a cherry, 
Bm               G      A   
To find my own humanity 
Bm               G      A   
And just let it breathe 

D                A 
Hold my head up in this moment 
C#m                      G 
Keep myself from fading away 
D                   A 
Pull my hands out of pockets and 
G                F# 
Feel my body awake
