Intro: Bm     G       A5        Bm    x2


Verse: 
                G5     A                Bm
You want to suffer and show me you're angry,
                G5          A                Bm
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
                G5     A                Bm      G5    A    Bm
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
               G5        A                Bm
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
                      G5        A          Bm
Drink water and gold dust  and live on impatience.
                        G5  A                 Bm
Slaughtered for weakness, electric like static
                        G5          A                Bm
Slaughtered, you're weak - there's no need to speak


Chorus:
                    E7             A
You change your shoelaces
        Bm            
I light firecrackers
                 G          A      Bm
You step on the sparks
                    E7   A
You change your shoelaces
        Bm            G
I light firecrackers

A     Bm     A     G5    Bm


              G5        A       Bm
I shouldn't be any great inspiration
           G5           A       Bm
I never got in your way
         G5   A             Bm
I should never have to chase you
               G5   A         Bm
You were the one who ran away
                                                  E7         A                Bm
If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
                      G5  A               Bm
You would have stopped     before you spoke
                E7         A             Bm
Listening to lies, the pain doesn't suit me
                      E7    A           Bm
He gift that you gave me, I put it away
                   E7  A                   Bm
I couldn't look at it, it made me think of you
                  E7         A             Bm
You get in the way





Chorus:
                    E7             A
You change your shoelaces
        Bm            
I light firecrackers
                 G          A      Bm
You step on the sparks
                    E7   A
You change your shoelaces
        Bm            G
I light firecrackers

A     Bm     A     G5    Bm

               G5        A                Bm
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
                      G5      A          Bm
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience.
                    G5        A              Bm
Electric like static, and no need to speak.
         G5                 A                Bm
It's not right but it's not wrong
      G5             A    Bm
So I wrote this song
     G5        A                Bm
So I wrote this song- is that what you want
                     E7             A         Bm
You got what you want - does it make you feel better?
                    E7     A         Bm
A smirk on your face and a gun at my head,
                    E7   A          Bm
You come to my place and ask to be fed

Chorus:
                    E7             A
You change your shoelaces
        Bm            
I light firecrackers
                 G          A      Bm
You step on the sparks
                    E7   A
You change your shoelaces
        Bm            G
I light firecrackers

                                     G5        A                Bm
You get in the way
               G5        A                Bm
You get in the way
                G5     A                Bm
You want to suffer and show me your angry
                    G5      A           Bm
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
                G5     A               Bm
You want to suffer and show me your angry
