[A#] [D]
[E] [A]
[D] [Em]
[D] When I [Em] was young [D] and they passed me [F#] off to school, [G] and they taught [D] me how not to play [A] the game.
I [D]
[Em] didn't mind [D] if they groomed me [F#] for success [G] or if they [D] said that I was stupid.
[E] [A]
So [B] [D] I left there in the [Em] morning with [D] a haircut, a gun [F#] beneath my arm, [G] a half-assed [D] swathe,
and the bullets.
[A]
[D] And I asked this [Em] gun question, [D] am I brave enough [F#] to fly?
He [G] said, I'm not the kind [D] to have to wind up on [B] the [A]
streets.
[A] [D] So I told my [Em] old headmaster, [D] I'm 21, [F#] who cares?
[G] I'm looking for
[D] a [A] change of friends.
[B] [A] [D] I [Em] don't need you to [D] have a hold that big [F#] on the wrongs.
[G] I'm not the kind [D] to have to wind up [A] on the streets.
[G] When you cut your [A] finger in [D] my face, I will [Bm] stop this fool.
[G] I don't need you to have a hold that big [A] on the [B] life you've lived.
[Bm]
[E] [F#m] [B]
[E] [B] [E]
[D] [E] [B] I'm never counting, but I'm on fire on the surface.
[G] But that's a scar, [D] but that's a [E] curse.
[F#]
But [B] I'd rather go out laughing than sing all the bad songs [G]
that we all [D] [F#] have heard.
[G] Pick up arms and all [A] hands and hold me [D] near for a minute.
[G] That's the name the [A] moon always says, [B] born out of greed.
When you [E] cut your finger in [B] my face, I will stop this fool.
[A] [B] [A] [B]
I don't need you to have a hold that big on the wrongs.
[G] [D] I'm not the [F#]
kind [B]
to have to wind up on the [G] streets.
[D] But that's a [F#] scar, but that's a curse.
[G] But that's a scar, [A] but that's a curse.
[D] But I'd rather go out laughing [G] [A]

heard.

[G] [F#m] [E] [D]
[A] [C#] [A]
[D] When [Em] I was young, [D] they had me [F#] off to school.
[G] And they taught me [D] how not to play [Bm] the game.
[A] [B]
[C#] [D] I didn't [Em] mind [D] if the groom's man [F#] was obsessed.
[G] But if he said, [D] I'd stop
[A] the fool.
[D] So to my [Em] old headmaster [D]
and to everyone,
[F#] they gave [G] him a forum to [D] haggle up the same [Bm] amount of [A] land.
When [G] he connects with [A] you, he can give [D] my friends a [Bm] solid school.
[G] They have all the things [A]
I'm about.
[B]
[E] [D]
[B] I [Em] don't believe you.
You [D] have a hold that big [F#] on the wrongs.
[G] He's not the kind [D] you have to wind up on the streets.
