Open up this vein like an old coal razor blade
[F#m]
Survival isn't pretty, it's flesh hanging off [A] of [Bm] fangs
to bite that hand when it's all that's left [A] to eat
[Bm] [G#] [D] Strip [G#] the meat off every finger [A] that's ever gotten close to me
[B] Try [F#m] [D]
[Dm]
[Em] [F#m]

_ _ [F#] _ _ [D] _ Hard not to bite that hand when it's all that's left [A] to eat

to set some up before the pain crashes back [Bm] down
_ _ _ _ _ They'll be out to pay for Rachel O'Rourke [A] by now
[Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] You can _ _ always just shoot _
[Bm] _ _ [G#] _ yourself [E] in the [F#m] face
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Without problems you never learn your [E] lessons
Sometimes the struggle can bring answers to your [F#m] questions
_ It's a long _ [D] cold road, [F#] never let them break [F#m] you
Grab your foot in the keychain, fit it against my lips
With a blue nice hand to the rearview with the day's last cigarette
With a thousand agonizing hours just about the weight of a full breath
Heavily self-medicated to forget we ever even met
[D] It's a couple hundred miles to the pits of Cincinnati, Ohio
When I die in a cheap suit, scared of heights, driving high with my eyes closed
[F#m]
Baby, this is Babylon, take it along, maybe we can sing some sad songs
And pretend there's nothing wrong, pretty clear we don't belong
Been [A] defeated since I was seething, but I walked away from the beatings
[C#] Many days were spent paper-tasting, [A] away-sticking, [Em] breathing, to calm the demons
[C#] Found all I [D] ever needed for some reason I'll keep on [E] seeking
I'm satisfied with anything [F] in life, so it's fight or [E] flight to the day I [F#m] die
I'm trying to soak up the _ _ trash that's been dumped
I promise you it will crash any second now
There'll be healthy paper, it's a low-worry by now
And I'll just have my life to spoil, I'm going [D] down
You can _ _ always just shoot _ _ _ _ yourself in the [F#m] _
face _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Without problems you never learn a [G#] lesson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
