G       
Tie your hands to riot 
C                 G   
Speak up to be quiet 
C               Em   D       C 
Make a list of every debt I owe 
G 
Let's line the streets with curses 
C                        G 
Then turn them all to torches 
C                 Em      D        G    
I've never felt a loneliness this cold 
G 
So send up three more wishes 

C                 G 
Count my hits and misses 
C            Em       D      C 
Bury me in a box with my mistakes 
G 
Cause this lonely room's a prison 
C                   G 
And these fictional women 
C                 Em      D   G 
They fade away the longer I'm awake
